Global War Solitaire

[yvesp]

In Poland, the Russian attack two lone artillery divisions.
This lets them advance far.

Should the turn end, a double impulse with these units would be deadly!

[yvesp]

The Chinese nationalists are emboldened enough to continue attacking.

[yvesp]

And the cleanup in the North by the nationalists is almost over.

[yvesp]

With four months late on the schedule (or is it 6 ???), the port of Kagoshima is at last captured!

[yvesp]

Germany has shrunk...

At the start of the third impulse in the September 44 turn, we can see all that matters in one screenshot at a reasonable zoom level.

Italy has passed (all it could do is possibly sink one or two ships, with a lot of luck, or try another suicide attack on some US units) ; Japan too : Germany would much like for the turn to end!

[yvesp]

The US presence solidifies in Japan.
Beware the Mexican unit that looks like a Japanese one!

[yvesp]

The great picture in the far east at the start of the axis 3d impulse in the September 44 turn.

[yvesp]

Of the inanity of fortifications.

In all honesty, it was the first time I used fortifications on such a large scale.
But I'm not impressed: they were pierced by an offensive near Varshaw, they were bypassed in the west, and now they are just vacated by a carpet bombing. This is not luck: I have done enough carpet bombings that one should eventually succeed.

[yvesp]

With the turn going on, hte attacks don't relent.
But some are not as successful as others...

[yvesp]

And this one fails too...

[yvesp]

But others do succeed...

[yvesp]

And this one too.

Germany hopes for the end of the turn. But that's not yet...

[yvesp]

Cleanup almost over in north China

[yvesp]

The destroyed pool by the end of the Sept 44 turn.

Too much...

In addition, this is the first time there won't be enough oil to reorganize all German units.
Tough choices in perspective!

[yvesp]

Germany at the start of the November 44 turn.
Many units have not received oil and are sitting ducks.

[yvesp]

Japan in the November 44 turn.

The superfortresses come straight from Italy in the last turn ; thanks to Stillwell, it is easy to get almost straight there. Some Britsh bombers are expected soon.

[yvesp]

The allies begin to do some clean up in their rear lines.
Here in Yugoslavia, with three axis units that should be removed.

[yvesp]

Here, it is time to liberate Denmark.
Copenhaguen cannot hold long.

[yvesp]

And in Italy, it is also time to remove the remaining German units.

[yvesp]

No serious fighing with the bad weather.
Better take some time to remove units that are easy to mop up.
They prevent straight lines for supplies and are ennoying when moving units.

In the West, the British prefer to avoid combat, using their superior numbers and the remaining holes in the german line to penetrate further in Germany.
