Turn 53. Axis. August 29, 1941. French Indo-China. End of Turn.

2. These forces will be used to invade and conquer Malaya and the Dutch East Indies when war with the west comes.

Turn 53. Axis. August 29, 1941. Research.

1. Unfortunately none of the three axis had any budget for additional research this turn and I don't see that changing very soon.
2. So what they have now is what they're likely to have for a while (once current research chits run their full course that is).

Turn 51. Axis. August 1, 1941. The Eastern Front. End of Turn.

1. The axis continue to rush forward into the every expanding vast territory of the Soviet Union.
2. Very apparent that the axis, especially the Wehrmacht need more ground units that can fight!
3. That is, infantry corps and armies on the Eastern Front.

Actually, you are doing very well considering you only have 3 tanks, and no mech infantry.

Nice progress in Russia.

Thanks guys. Though the fog-of-war has me worried that my opponent has a sledge hammer ready to pound me once the time is right (i.e., General Winter arrives). [&:]

2. CCP moved 4% to the allies? Need to keep an eye on that!

Turn 65. Axis. September 26, 1941. Western Front.

1. Also, I did remember to move U-35 in the Battle of the Atlantic and get him out into a convoy line.

Turn 65. Axis. September 26, 1941. Battle of the Atlantic (1/3). Murmansk Convoys.

1. U-81 made contact withy a Soviet destroyed and back up a bit.
2. At the end of this turn Germany had deployed 4 U-boats on the Murmansk convoy line.
3. Though, I think I will move to U-boats into the North Atlantic to attack British convoys and keep 2 on to attack the Murmansk convoys.

Turn 65. Axis. September 26, 1941. Battle of the Atlantic (2/3). Italian Subs.

1. I decided it was time for the 2 Italians subs, and 2 German U-boats (not shown), in the South Atlantic to make their way back to port for reinforcement and upgrades.
2. They've all be at sea for a long time and I'm sure their crews could use some leave at home.
