Wi 42 Soviet + Chinese

The other side of the border seems to be crammed with pz and motorised divisions, we no longer believe the germans are doing manouvers, alert state has been increased, leaves cancelled.

The chinese are on the defense, but have started some training exercises.

To our WA comrades here is a piece of info about japanese naval forces in the Pacific, unfortunately our spies could not localize Yamamoto's Carriers whereabouts.

This time it was quick fcam [;)], no holidays left.

Hah! Soviet Intelligence is truly pitiful. The only way those primitives will discover the mighty Imperial Fleet is when they are in the Baltic bombarding Leningrad!

cant believe the JP really follows the historical timetable when the US WR is still in low 20s ... JP's warning is for real [:-]
a pretty successful pearl harbor attack ... but the cream of the USN is on the way to revenge ...

Finally Germany was forced to attack Russia and the reuslts were favorable. Lets see, if we can put the bear under pressure. (Forgot to take screen shot)

Japan consolidates her gains.

Russia Sp42

Germany has finally launched Barbarrosa, Soviet cassualties were somehow high but also the Fritzs paid a high price.
Resources in Poland were hit by Soviet pilots (3 points gone worth 15 supply) a loney Pz div was damaged by soviet artillery.
Stavka has order their troops to be on the defensive until industry swaps from a a peaceful to a war one.

This time the soviet spies did find out the japanese cvs and they are not precisely in the Baltic [:D][;)], also some info from our agents in Germany reveal what Krupp factories are producing.

The chinese keep on going with their manouvers.

WA has started the CAG training program in the pacific! and has taken the IJN trannies and the escorts as targets!!
 
in the west, as GER has built a lot of me109, WA infrabombing has been limited.

Germany did some minor training attacks on the Eastern front while regrouping its forces to better threaten the Russian bear.

Japanese aircraft conduct training missions on Allied shipping.

USSR Su 42

Here is the situation Germany has 10 armour in Belorrusia as for the rest of the eastern army take a look at the screen shot.
The USSR also went on some tactical movings before an inminent class of steel when the leaves start falling (autumn).
The red army retook the Baltic States and Kursk and bombed to scrap Prussia and Kiev's railyards.
This was a turn of skirmishes.

China

Some fighting in Indochina ended with a chinese militia destroyed and an infantry damaged for a japanese infantry damaged, the japs had artillery and that made the difference.

USSR + China Su 42

This map shows the movements.

A major attack to Kharkov was a big success. Moreover our long range bombers successfully destroyed several Russian factories...

USSR Fa 42

As the russians preparations for the winter offensive were done, now Germany will withdraw from Kharkov, otherwise a large army might be completely destroyed, luckily the germans only have 68 supplies, and I destroyed the rail lines up to Kharkov, so it would be 27 supplies just to withdraw from it.
Some lend lease from my WA allies would be very wellcome for the upcoming Winter offensive, though I understand the WA are conducting a very aggressive war and might lack the strength to commit some TF to open the Mursmansk route.
East Prussia was taken!!! probably that unit will be lost next turn.

Red arrows show land moves, blue ones air strikes.

USSR Fa42

Here is Germany and Japan OOB at the moment.
Note that Japan is down to 37 supplies and Germany to 68. Withdrawing from Kharkov will leave Germany with just 41 for the rest of operations

China Fa 42

The Chinese expelled the swine japanese from Foochow, but I think factories are damaged because I didn't see the production outcome screen, heck I didn't notice they had been hit, I'm not 100% sure about this.

Fa42 - WA
The Allies has made great progress in the game ...
 
the USN has made a sight-seeing tour to the gulf of JP [8D]
while the IJN CVs are sitting duck in the gulf of manila [:D]
 
in the west, GER has started deploying its armor units to the atlantic wall ...

Heeresgruppe Süd has been ordered for Winter Manoevers in Kiev. Moreover measures have been taken to fortify our Western borders against unwaned guests. Seems like the Allies won't need long to conquer Japan, whch would free their forces for attacking us... ;-(

Well I don't know whether I should laugh or cry. This has been without a doubt, the most pathetic game as Japan (or any country for that matter) I have ever played. Effectively losing 4 turns after I declare war is beyond sad.
