Not sure what game you are playing but there has been no break through and my rear areas are quite adequately manned.ORIGINAL: ironduke1955
The Italians broke through Soviets defenders Destroying some 350 T34(1943) not bad as we are still in 1942 a tank ahead of its time, 50 IS2's as well as other assorted AFV's they moved forward to find almost no Soviet reserves between the Italians and Kiev the Italians will press this advantage next month.

The United States was surprised that the Germans continued to allow the British and French to attack from German
territory, but we rationalized the situation by declaring war on Germany and Italy. Other than some Italian losses
in Africa there was little fighting between the Axis and the USA. Massive naval battles in the North Sea as Royal Navy
submarines were tracked down. There are still subs to be attacked there next month.
Africa and Australia were both scenes of American advances. Carrier air struck at Italian, French and British forces
in the Iberian peninsula.
Norwegian naval infantry raided Scotland and captured an aircraft factory.

China has nearly taken all of India.
The Chinese would appreciate it if the Soviets would leave a path to the Middle East for the Chinese to attack on.

Are we like late Rome, infatuated with past glories, ruled by a complacent, greedy elite, and hopelessly powerless to respond to changing conditions?

August 17th, 1942
The United States Navy had some success against the Royal Navy, but was shocked at the strength of the Kriegsmarine. A very powerful force of U-boats and surface ships sortied and the USN took up a defensive posture in response. The RN and KM will be a major challenge as many of our forces are far away in the Pacific. This shapes up to be the naval battle of the century.
The U.S. Army continues to pester the British and French in Africa. The lack of infrastructure is causing things to move slowly here, but eventually we will make our presence felt. As the Japanese commented about South America, there just is not much in Africa. Still it represents the stripping of the Commonwealth from Great Britain. The British have lost Canada. In Australia, Sydney is under assault by U.S. forces, and we expect it to fall next month. The other Australian cities are items on the American agenda. India is nearly conquered by the Chinese, Singapore and most of the Indies have fallen, and the Middle East is threatened. The British Empire is being dismantled.
The question must be asked : was the declaration of war on Germany and Italy a mistake. It seems the answer is "Yes". We underestimated the power of these nations. The Soviet Union is also under pressure from the four powers, and has asked us for increased aid. In response China has allied itself with the USSR and is sending forces west to help the Red Army. The USA is not allied yet to the Soviet Union, but will do so when appropriate. Three powers versus four powers in a war for the world.

The huge naval battles in British waters have seen massive losses in the Royal Navy surface forces. The Kriegsmarine also has suffered significant losses in surface forces, and their massive fleet off Ireland is surrounded by USN forces. They are powerful and may be able to fight their way out, but the USN is no longer on the defensive. The USN carrier task forces are arriving, and they are just getting stronger. The USN took losses of course, but we can certainly afford them if the gains come.
In Africa the US Army is pushing forward and construction brigades are filling in infrastructure. The road net being built will change the future of Africa. Casablanca was bombed, and armor attacked the forces in the city. We are not that far from the straits. The Italians may have to bring some of their superior armor from the East Front to defend Spain. As US Army units are brought east from the States the force in Africa will have interesting strategic paths to consider. North to Spain is one, east to Alexandria another. The second option includes the possibility of linking with the Chinese pushing west. Of Course this will take significant time.
China pushes west past India. We intend to drive through to the Middle East.
The Chinese had to send a letter to the Soviets asking them to withdraw troops from the Far East. There are too many Red Army tank formations near the Chinese lines when we feel they should be facing the Germans and Italians. China is not very comfortable with the Soviet alliance and may have to break it. If the Chinese must do this they will promptly offer peace to the Soviets, and we will fight side by side again without an alliance.

The Italians take Kiev and Sevastopol, some switching of focus to the Atlantic to have a look at our new Enemy America.

RE: GD1938 Game 19
Its currently the Soviets turn to play here. You still around TwoTribes??
RE: GD1938 Game 19
Guys sorry But this is a bad month for me I suffer from recurring major depression and January is usually a real bad month for it for some reason. I will do the turn but not right now.

RE: GD1938 Game 19
Attacks against the large American Fleet off the south of Ireland were costly. Lost 11 Aircraft and a DD3. We were able to sink 6 DD2's and 6 SS3's. Beat back a Russian Armored spearhead around Tehran and encircled 2 Divs (temporarily). A high altitude bomber raid hammered at the infrastructure of the occupied city of Warsaw.

RE: GD1938 Game 19
Sidney fell after an intense bombardment by USN battleships. US forces will continue to fight for Australia, as we also occupy positions in the Pacific (Tahiti) and the East Indies (Medan). USN carrier task forces are attacking at the mouth of the Gulf, and the mouth of the Red Sea. These task forces are operating independently, but are available to aid the progress of Chinese troops if this is advisable.
On the west coast of Africa US forces continue to improve the infrastructure. We captured Luanda, and are going to continue to drive at British positions. There is not much valuable here, but taking the area will strengthen us and harm our enemies.

RE: GD1938 Game 19
The Italians cross the Donets pushing back the hard pressed Soviets who are now fighting the Italians Germans and now the British and the French, basically the whole of western Europe. The USA needs to come to their aid and quickly.

RE: GD1938 Game 19
The French and British fight back this month, sinking 20 USN SS3's, while losing only a couple SS3's and a couple aircraft. The US occupied city of Copenhagen has been bombed to the point of no longer being a fortified city. And the Russians have lost tanks, aircraft, and infantry to concerted attacks in Poland, Turkey, and have been thrown out of the Persian Oil Fields, a victory of morale for the British and French middle east armies, even though most likely only a temporary setback. New Zealand continues to hold out in the Pacific, the only bright spot in an otherwise terrible dark time for the Commonwealth in that part of the world. The USA is having its way in the east, alongside its close ally China.

RE: GD1938 Game 19
The German fleet off Ireland has been finished off.
The USA did make some progress in Australia, but there are two cities yet to take.
On the west coast of Africa we continue to improve infrastructure. In the north we lose troops and ships when we try to reinforce. The infrastructure improvements will help. We did take Casablanca.
We want to get control of the sea lanes and the victory over the Germans will free vessels for patrolling.
China is approaching the Middle East. Lots of Soviet troops there already. If we can reduce the petroleum resources reaching our enemies it will help a lot with air, naval and tank combat.

The USN took some last licks at the enemy and then moved ... well moved somewhere?
Tangiers fell, and a good bit of Africa is under American control now.
The Chinese and Soviets are pressing into the Middle East, and some Chinese troops have arrived in southern Russia to confront the Italians.

RE: GD1938 Game 19
The last file I have in my old turns folder is a Soviet turn from the 10th of March.
I've put it in the game 19 DB folder. Anyone remember whose turn it was after the Soviets?
