Fall 1943:

Russia:

Well when I ask Germany to come back I was joking [:'(] Really [:(]

Our troops are exposed to a counterattack now but it will still weaken Germany which is what the Red Army is for but hopefully this time the Western Front will not stay all quiet.

We keep attacking in Siberia and if we are stopped this turn still Japan will need to send reinforcement or be ready to retreat.

China:

Nothing much to report.

Winter 1944 - considering the huge numerical advantage the WA enjoyed a good result for Germany in France last turn. The RN took another huge toll supplying the WA Army (3 BBs, several trannies). Combined with continued heavy bombardments of England it is only a matter of time when the Allies run out of ships and bombers... [8D]

This time the blockade was strenghened by subs. Let's see if the last remaining BB and DDs in the Atlantic can break through...[:D]

Over to the Eastern Front where a preemptive attack was launched on Kiev, with Bombers neutralizing Russian Arty. Prussia was also reinforced.

Noteworthy is that 8 Russian Fighters are covering 4 trannies in the Black sea - what will they do next [&:]

turn sent to Ning.

44 winter
Seeing Germany can not stop WA, Japan made a very dangerous move...

Winter 1944:

Russia:

The German counterattack on Kiev was a disaster with no losses to the Whermacht and this during Winter. Doesn't look good at all.

Still we uses or transports in the Black Sea to send more troops into Kharkov and supplies which can be send via the inexistant rail lines. Transports are cheaper and more versatile.

We run out of the Baltic States to avoid the same fate than in Kiev. Hopefully the Allies will reach Germany borders this turn and this would lift German nasty intentions in the East.

China:

No supplies so nothing to do but factories did run this turn so next turn will be different.

Spring 1944 - more of the same - Allied airfields in England hit hard, trannies sunk all over the Atlantic, a 45-unit Allied big stack that moved into TLC faces a 70 unit big-stack in W.Germany. Who will give in [8D]

An overview of the overall strenghs shows actual Axis superiority in numbers for both aircraft and navy. How are the Allies going to win the war without naval and aerial supremacy...? [:'(]

Turn sent to Ning.

44 spring
Japan successfully blocked Allies carriers in Australien port, but with heavy cost.
Luckily the replacement for us is more easier for US.[:)]

Some US fleets were destroyed easily and now if we do not count these blocked carriers Japan has the most powerful navy in the world, and even Germany + Italy has a almost stronger navy than UK in Atlantic.[:D]

Very entertaining AAR guys. Although I can't play much, I can at least get my fix watching....

Spring 1944:

Russia:

Enbolded by the hasty retreat of the Whermacht from the East to defend Germany, the Red Army moved back to the Baltic States, Eastern Poland, Kiev and whatever is called south of Kiev [;)]

Unless the Whermach moves back we will keep to push forward to help our Ally [:)]

In the West the whole of Russia is liberated and a bit more, in the East we are closing on Vladivostok in force [:@]

We fear next turn that the US Navy CV's will have a taste of Japanese CAGS proficiency. No relief possible and we saw a lot of planes moving to Timor at striking distance.

China:

Newly created ART group are moving to the frontline ready to liberate Shanghai.

[:D][:D]

Axis propaganda forgot to say that Russia has the strongest fleet in the Black Sea [:D]

Summer 1944 - no more allied aircraft in England - Goering is thrilled.

The 45-unit Allied big stack that moved into TLC grew to 56 units but was greatly reduced by the 70 unit big-stack that attacked from W. Germany. Or in other words: The Allies were badly beaten, as all their damaged units were destroyed. German High command offers the cut-off Allied expedition Army a surrender with honour...

A limited counterattack in E. Poland but due to the large operations in Western Europe Romania had to be left to the Russians.

The only Allied Carrier not blocked in Australia was intercepted and torpedoed shortly before entering the Panama channel. Our Japanese Allies can continue to rule the Pacific Ocean at will...

This is a good example how one battle can turn the war.  I will read to the end, but I suspect the axis are deep in the hole.

How sweet was that comment and how premature it was as well. "It ain't over till it's over" as we say.

Germany has total air supremacy over the Western Front and soon over the Eastern One as the Red Force can't compete against ME-262.

The Imperial Navy will soon rule the waves over the Pacific and already has Air Supremacy.

The U-Boats of Doenitz are creating a reign of terror for those risking to cruise in the Atlantic and the US/British Navy has less Light Fleets than there are U-Boats. 4 More U-Boats in Germany.

Italy is controlling the Med, Gibraltar and Spanish Marocco. Spain could even be fascist soon again.

Well if you get the picture I believe we already feel the game is far from lost for the Axis.

Now the East Front, Russia is still badly wounded from the previous campaign even if most of the territories losts are liberated. The only valid troops are the ART, most of the Rail Lines are damaged, production is at half what Germany has and on parity with Japan. German Panzers are plenty and very strong.

So yes Rumania will fall but then Stalin face the very likely prospect to have to defend Moscow again.

It appears the Allies are ready to discuss their surrender...? [:D]

44 sum
After destroyed the last heavy fleet in the Pacific, Japan invaded Australia.
As we will get enough VPs so Japan does not fear of A-bomb now, so how can we lose [:D]

No way... Russia will emerge victorious anyway. Will take a while longer but that outcome is unavoidable.

Russia:

Rumania is invaded in force. Hopefully would make the Whermacht think before pushing more to the West.

China:

Shanghai is liberated. All the IJA is out to meet the Russian army. Next to Beijing.

I PM'd tica to find out where that turn's at.

Fall 1944 - German turn - The Allied expedition Army retreats back to W. France, alas the bulk of the German troops is railed to Hungary to fight the Russians who advanced into Rumania...

Heavy attacks on Allied shipping, 4 Soviet Trannies, 10 Wallied ones and one DD and BB each were sunk or damaged. Wallies down to 25 Trannies. Pic shows Axis subs lurking for any ships that dare to cross the Atlantic.

44 Fall, Melbourne fell.
Australia has no more supplies.
3 TPs sunk near India and Hawaii.
Japan tried to stop Soviet in Siberia.
Peking was also reinforced.

Fall 1944:

Russia:

Russia overun the MIL in Yugoslavia and Bulgaria and destroys the resources there. Germany will be back with a vengeance so we retreat by Sea the rest of the army to avoid all to be destroyed.

Since the demise of our Allies in the West we will not be able to do much against 14 Panzers units.

China:

Indochina is liberated and we are pushing more troops against Beijing hoping Russia will keep the pressure on the IJA. We still hope some US troops will come down from India to help [&o][&o][&o]

Winter 1945 - Axis tanks recapture Romania and Kiev, where have all the Russian troops gone...? They must be in Siberia I guess. England is isolated. Continued hunt for Allied trannies yields good results, 5 DDs 1 CV and 1 BB against 8 Uboats, not a fair fight
