The Japanese have long-ago out-stayed their welcome in China and Manchuria. As usual, I don't start withdrawing until its too late to stop being overwhelmed....

Peking is finally abandoned, but a corps remains in Mukden to hold as long as possible.

The PI and Marianas are about to fall and eastern Java has been invaded.....

The Italians surrender and the Germans have only a handful of non-air units left.

The Germans are still in the game and I have no idea why! The Germans are in Poland from both the east and the west!!

Meanwhile the Americans have almost taken the last islands before Tokyo....

But I refuse to yield more than the barest minimum in China [:)]

The Germans finally surrender.

Not much else to report. The Soviets continue down the Korean Peninsular and the Japanese refuse to give ground...

The Americans land a Para in FIC but this is ejected. A British corps seeking to cut off the retreating units near Bangkok is also meeted out with punishment.

I don't believe this. The Hungarians have surrendered too now. I mean seriously? Do they not believe in the final victory anymore?..... sheesh... tough audience....

But the Romanians and Bulgarians are keeping the faith....even though that means the Bulgarians simply giving up Sevastopol without a fight.

29 December 1944 - 12 January 1945

Meanwhile the forces in Korea have temporarily stopped the rot, but the Japanese units in Northern China are in retreat and try and find refuge behind rivers.

The Allies land in Malaya and invest Batavia...

27 January - 9 February 1945

The Japanese defences in Korea and China continue to groan under the strain of holding back the tide....

Meanwhile an attempt to get a SNLF to Japan fails as it sails straight into a US task force off the P.I. I should have taken a manual route...

The Bulgarians are the next 'rats' to desert the ship. Honestly people, can't you see the big picture here?

23 February - 9 March 1945

Ever the realists, Japanese radio reports that events in southeast Asia have not necessarily moved in a direction favourable to the Imperial Japanese Empire.....

Singapore falls and Rangoon, Batavia and Penang are shortly to follow.

23 March - 6 April 1945

With three turns to go after this, the Romanians just won't quite survive
