Forum update has caused (at least temporarily) some of the old pictures gone wrong and swapped from other AAR. Here are pictures from all fronts as of start of M/J 1943 Axis impulse 2.

USSR-Japanese border was shown above. Japan has conquered China.

Japan has conquered NEI, Philippines and basically everything in South China Sea area, US has captured Marshall Islands.

Japan has conquered Burma.

Middle East

Allies has 6-hex bridgehead in Southern France. In North Africa Allies are on Tunisian border and they taken port in SE Tunisia.

Allies have two small bridgeheads in North France and in the Netherlands. They also have hold Northern Denmark for long time.

Axis have captured Murmansk (after hard combat) and Leningrad. USSR really tried to defend them.

USSR is holding in Central and Southern USSR. Both sides are beefing up forces but there has been only few limited attacks from both sides during past year.

I was thinking what would be the best way to see pictures, they are shown little smaller than they are. Right clicking them and choosing "open image in new tab" shows them in the size they are meant to be seen.

I am sorry for the delay. I hope to begin our impulse tomorrow morning. However, the time 'stealing' might upset my planning.
