The attacks shown above went pretty well.

3 German units in Russia were killed and 2 were shattered against Russian losses of a mech and an Inf and a few disorganized units.

In France there were likewise several German lost units and a bomber overrun against US units disorganized which HQ McArthur reorganized again.


CW units took Zagreb

The Front in France after the Allied impulse

The Russian front. The Germans are in trouble.

The Pacific is only showing small advances by the USA but they are now threatening Truk and its supply lines.

Germany is in deep trouble. That CW ARM in Yugoslavia can advance into Vienna and further towards Prague. Or is there a reasonable Axis force to the East of that unit which can block that route? If not, than the fighting in France looks to me as only being done to keep the Germans busy...

YEs, Germany is in danger of collapsing in Russia and have the Allies break the Seine river line in France.
In Italy/Yugoslavia the Allies are threatening the southern approaches to Austria and Germany.

There are German units available to rail into Vienna and a Hungarian Mech and Inf that can block the moves of the CW units at least temporarily.

In the Pacific the Japanese are still quite strong and they have ample oil resources. The US advances are looking at Truk next before a more general assault on the Philippines and NEI areas.

May/Jun44 Axis impulse 2 ( impulse 4 ) Fine

Germany land, Italy oombined, Japan naval.

Japan reinforces their supply lines and Truk

Germany retreats in Russia and retreats across the Seine in France.

The new Russian front, German units are retreating in good order as fast as they can to make the front shorter.

The Germans retreat behind the Seine river and block the Allies from reaching Vienna and Budapest

May/Jun 44 Allies impulse 3 ( impulse 5 ) Fine weather except N Monsoon rain

All land, US Ochit on Bradley

Mediocre ground strikes, 1 German fighter downed and 1 bomber aborted.

US attacks in France with Ochit support took one hex next to the Seine river but Lyons held out with US troops disorganized.

In Russia Russians sent additional units to Moscow and entered Kalinin. In the south a Russian Infantry is nearing the strait to Crimea. Attacks in the north and center knocked out German units and made new holes in the front. In the south a German SS Mech was only retreated and a lot of Russian units were disorganized there.

Ge land, Itly and Japan combined

Japan maintains a defensive posture in the Pacific, not much activity.

Germany is now running westwards in Russia as fast as they can but some units are being left behind from a crumbling front.

In Europe Germany is trying to hold the line at the Seine in France and in Hungary. The Allies have not yet entered into Austria.

The situation in Europe.
