Uxbridge's ETO Axis vs. all

[cpdeyoung]

June 16, 1940 : Big decisions in Great Britain.

[cpdeyoung]

June 24, 1940 : The Soviets have taken the Baltic States. Do they have more in mind. The Italians have Suez.

[cpdeyoung]

July 1, 1940 : Tension everywhere.

[cpdeyoung]

July 9, 1940 : Major developments. The Axis high command wants to use the good weather months to strike.

[cpdeyoung]

June 16, 1940 : Two post for this week, one on Finland to follow this one. The Germans approach Aberdeen, and the Italians aproach Alexandria. In the East the Soviets have little at the border.

[cpdeyoung]

June 16, 1940 : Post two of two. Horror in the North for the Soviets.

[cpdeyoung]

July 24, 1940 : The Soviets seem to be shocked in multiple ways.

[cpdeyoung]

August 1, 1940 : Still a multiple front war.

[cpdeyoung]

August 9, 1940 : Two posts again, including a curious one from Finland.

[cpdeyoung]

August 9, 1940 : The Finns can not believe their eyes. Notice the six Soviet commanders, and not one with a clue.

[cpdeyoung]

August 16, 1940 : We won't bother with a map, but the Finns are busting out, and are near to besieging Leningrad.

[cpdeyoung]

August 24, 1940 : The Soviets must be in a true state of shock.

[cpdeyoung]

September 1, 1940 : Leningrad falls! What wil be the long term consequences of this? The Axis must convince the Finns to join.

[Tomokatu]

Don't forget the British in Kuwait!

[cpdeyoung]

Not to mention Northern Ireland, and maybe Scapa Flow, and, of course Gibraltar, and we hear they have something called a Commonwealth!

September 9, 1940 : We push forward, but the slowness we feel now is nothing compared to the weather related slowness to come. jerusalem falls. The British Isles have a base garrison.

[cpdeyoung]

September 16, 1940 : A very different war in each zone of the Eastern Front.

[cpdeyoung]

September 24, 1940 : The nights are chilly.

[cpdeyoung]

October 1, 1940 : Moscow in the distance. Weather not too bad, and we are still pushing the "shocked" Red Army back.

[cpdeyoung]

October 9, 1940 : What a difference a week makes. The weather has broken and there is mud everywhere. The Soviets have adjusted to the proficency of the German Army, and will no longer act like deer in the headlights. To make matters worse, Romania has declared war on the Axis, and has joined the British. We did get Hungary, but Romania is much more valuable. Ouch, ouch, ouch.

We captured Kaluga, but now much stronger Soviets are between our tired troops and Moscow.
