Turn 34. Mar/Apr 1945. Axis #7. German U-boats. North Atlantic.

Finally the fourth and final sea area and the one with the greatest concentration of German u-boats (3 units). The German u-boats again come up short when they fail to locate allied convoys.

The allies dodge, what is hopefully, the last German bullet where their u-boats are concerned.

The US and CW continue to build up their ground and air forces in these two countries.

Well, as soon as they can get strategic bombers and fighters based there.

The Soviets play their first o-chit of the game, which is for Zuhkov to double land attack factors.

Wow. The Soviets should have used a lot more than that.

Turn 34. Mar/Apr 1944. Axis #11. Germany.

Post movement, no land combat. Germany used their one naval move of the combine to put a German and Finnish ship, two ships, in the 4 box of the Baltic. Well actually, the German ship is an old Italian heavy cruiser under German flag.

Well, as soon as they can get strategic bombers and fighters based there.

They should invade Japan instead. Japan is a soft target at the moment. Several undefended minor ports. Allied troops can pour into Japan with so few Japanese land units. And Allied shore bombardment should make advancing along the coast fairly easy. Play a offensive on the first clear weather impulse and do a supercombined and invade on several hexes. Then you can transfer the air force to Japan instead of Korea.
