Axis impulse 1 May/Jun 44 ( impulse # 2 ) Rain N monsoon, rest fine.
Germany retreats in Russia to form another unbroken line. The front is now nearing Rostov and Moscow. German troops railed into Moscow and Kalinin.

USA uses O-chit on attacks in France
More ground strike runs and a few planes lost on both sides.
US and CW attacks in Frances have now broken the Loire river line and the CW took Amsterdam although they are not ll that strong in Rotterdam and Amsterdam.
Russia again made a hole in the German defense lines and keep advancing. The rear rail lines around Saratov have now been restored to Russian control and the Russian production will take a large step up since now the Caucasus oil can reach Siberian factories again.

AXis impulse 2 May/Jun 44 ( impulse # 4 ) Fine everywhere
The Axis forces sends out bombers to try to slow down the Allied advances in France and genrerally position their land forces to maintain an unbroken front even though it now is almost back at the Seine river.
In southern France the Italians still hold but are being pressed hard.
Japan is strengthening their defensive strength in key Cities and the oil sources. Naval air is patrolling the essential sea areas.
The Russian front is seeing another round of German pullbacks and the line is now NE from Rostov and curving back to just east of Moscow in the north.

I just threw out my Win XP computer and got a new Win 7 machine. It is quite a bit of work to get everything installed and ready in the new computer so I will continue this AAR in a day or so.

Several successful ground strikes in France, the German Fighter force is spent for the turn.
Attacks in France blows another hole in the German lines, they will have to retreat to the seine now.
Russian attack costs the Russians a Mech against a German Div.

Germany continues to retreat, In France, where the units are fewer than desired now, the line is behind the Seine river and southeast to Lyons. Italians hold the front from Lyons to Marseilles. In Russia the line is now from Rostov in the South to Ryazan and Moscow.
Italy is still very strong and has not been hurt much so far, they are likely to survive the war.
Japan is reinforcing their oil and other defensive key points and likewise are likely to still be a force to reckon with in 45.
