I was talking about the 17 artillery in Kiev, you have more behind the front line, don't you remind me, soon enough I will suffer them pounding my exhausted divisions [:D][;)]

Well you are still lucky as my allied didn't send me Lend Lease this turn because of the noise Hiro Hito is making far far away in the East. [:@]

Hiro Hito has done his very best to push its empire to the biggest ... but understand that it will go all the way downhill from now ...

Fall 1942:

Russia:

As for Kiev a second battle was enough to push back the ennemy once again. Rumania is out of the picture and Bulgaria's government is already sending diplomats to Moscow.

Eastern Poland has seen the deployment of our Army Group North. They are eager to follow the example of Army Group South. The whole territory of Mother Russia is free from invaders but damage of our beloved nation is extensive... still nothing compared to what we will happens to the 3rd Reich.

We hope our dear Allies will send us back some supplies as agreed before. Here is the proof they signed an official agreement on this

Sorry forgot to take a screenshot this time.

W.Allies Fall 1942
Churchill apologizes for not posting for a turn or two. Managing the war got him a little behind, but all is well now.
The Allies survey the map and like what they see. The Russians are hammering into Eastern Europe far ahead of schedule, while the Middle East swinging back to our control. In Asia, the Japanese have expanded far, but their rear is exposed and there will be hard pressed to take on the mighty American war machine on their own.

Concerned that our Communist allies might overrun all of Europe before we can get in on the party, the British stage Dieppe, with historical results. Ugh.

We fare better in the Indian Ocean, where two British carriers take down a Japanese flattop for no casualties of our own.

Indian Ocean:
The Japanese disperse their carriers to try to interdict our supply, making this one an easy target.

Go Churchill go...

But one precision to our beloved ally, we are not overunning Europe but liberating it. Of course Stalin pledge that fair election will be staged... we mean organized as soon as we feel like it... we mean as soon as possible. [:D]

yeah that unlucky flattop ... IJA just thought they can airdrop the supply to that CV so that it can move to safty ... but only found the HB itself got stuck with the cargo onboard. could be a bug but more likely that the JP head command had explored sth not coded in the game ... so the lost of the CV is expected and is the cost of JP's overexpansion ...

Germany Wi43

Evacuation of the DAK has been completed, a militia was left behind to cover the general withdrawal (run out of transport capacity).
Western Poland has been made a festung, Uncle H. has prohibited any kind of retreat, it's stand and die.
Heavy railway bombing will hopefully disrupt russian comunications.
Velekiye luki red army's aa gunners showed an amazing good aim at our bombers.

Just to let you know, from friday april 26th until wednesday May the 2nd I'll be out of town and won't have internet connection, so I'll resume any turns received from thursday the 3rd and afterwards.

Winter 1943:

Russia:

Sorry no screenshot.

Western Poland couldn't be reached by our Army Group South so after liberating Bulgaria and Yugoslavia it's next task was to occupy Hungary. From there the combined Tanks Armies did throw an attack at Tchekoslovakia but in vain and were repulsed. Army Group North went to combine his forces in Hungary to threaten Austria, Tchekoslovakia and Western Poland. Our intelligence confirm the impossibility for Germany to defend those 3 regions alltogether with adequate strength so we are waiting for a general retreat or a general counterattack. Reserves have been deployed strategically to protect supply access to our New Army Group Center.

Indeed the damage to our rail lines is annoying and we are still wondering why our Allies suddenly stopped to help while so much Russian blood is spilled for the ultimate victory. Our beloved leader Stalin has already prepared an answer if this untolerable situation continues [:-]

Oups forget this one:

China:

Nothing new. [>:]

W. Allies Winter '43

My Communist ally is too modest. For a fuller understanding of his most excellent position in Central and Eastern Europe, see the attached screenshot. Given this exceptional position (for the start of '43) and his surplus of 90+ supply, we wouldn't insult him by offering charity.

In our turn we continue to advance in the Middle East and the Pacific. A number of Japanese transports and surface fleets go to the bottom, but a shortage of transports (another good reason not to risk our brave sailor's lives in the frigid waters off Murmansk) especially around the horn of Africa keeps us from putting more pressure either via Cairo or towards India.

Germany Sp43

Just defending the Reich, what's left of it[:D]
Nonetheless two u-boat crews score succeses against the allies merchant lines sinking or damaging not only the transports but their cargo 2+7 supplies [:)]

Spring 1943:

Russia:

Still payback time. Austria is in ruin, Tchekoslovakia is liberated as well as Greece but not after a tough fight for such a secondary front. [:@]

Rome greet the Red Army with a frenzy of joy.

Italian ladies loves the sparkling medals won by our glorious troops against the Whermacht. Southern Italy hopes the Capitalists Imperialists will understand the need to keep this nation united under the benevolent protection of Mother Russia.

Now seeing again that they did turn their back on the promised lend lease to save a few pennies we begin to wonder about their evil intentions. As such we offer a non-aggression pact to Japan which we understand now was forced into an unwelcomed war. We hope Germany will see where their real ennemy is and open their cities to our armies so we can present a United European front with what looks like a yet undeclared new ennemy. Would another WW be in sight? We hope our "Allies" will see reason.

China:

Our diplomats have agreed to declare China neutral if ever the USA will in the future push Russia to a defensive war. As to make this point understood a ceasefire is declared with Japan. [8|]

W. Allies Spring '43
The Allies come ashore in Holland. We're somewhat chagrined that our Russian ally would so quickly turn hostile. Must be something about being a Communist, thoroughly repressive society that lends itself to paranoia. After all, if you're conquering the entire continent at lightning speed you really shouldn't be complaining about the fact that we're not shipping you free canned Spam.

The speed of Germany's demise creates an interesting situation in the Far East. Japan is clearly for the chop, but perhaps not for a few turns and she still has plenty of punch. The Allies proceed cautiously, taking out Japanese transports and retaking our Indian territories. We'll need more transports to really push forward, though.

Germany Su '43

TLC have fallen with no chance to counterattack, nonetheless the invasion fleet and its aircover was either damaged or destroyed, the ruskies have not enough supplies to mount an offensive into what remains of the Reich, some railway bombing to prevent those needed oil drums come close to the T34 and ammo to the Stalin Organs were performed by the brave Lufftwaffe pilots.

On the security side a spy who claimed to be a diplomat was imprisoned by the Gestapo, among his papers valueable information was obtained, the alliance between the USSR and the WA allies seems to be falling apart:

"I hope that Germany will see the value in falling to the benevolent Wallies rather than the communists. After all, you’re going to want your kids to have colour tvs and toasters that work, right?, signed F. D. Rooselvet"

The ruskies are even more explicit:

Now seeing again that they did turn their back on the promised lend lease to save a few pennies we begin to wonder about their evil intentions. As such we offer a non-aggression pact to Japan which we understand now was forced into an unwelcomed war. We hope Germany will see where their real ennemy is and open their cities to our armies so we can present a United European front with what looks like a yet undeclared new ennemy.
