Turn 32. Sep/Oct 1944. The USA Liberates France.

Turn 31. Sep/Oct 1944. The Eastern Front.

The Soviets did move this front toward the west this turn, especially in the north. A lot of this movement was made possible by the weakening of this front from Germany pulling units and moving them to the west.

Turn 31. Sep/Oct 1944. Western Allies #1. Combat Reporter's Notebook. Surrender Attacks.

Well at least I fixed the die rolls right this time.

The CW wanted / needed the 4 saved oil points.

The USA wanted another victory location for the Western Allies.

Turn 31. Sep/Oct 1944. USSR #1. Eastern Front, North. Combat Reporter's Notebook.

This was suppose to be two attacks by the Soviets on the Eastern Front, north. However, as you can see I messed up and have in the second cap the USA land combat to take Lille.

Turn 31. Sep/Oct 1944. USSR #1. Eastern Front, South. Combat Reporter's Notebook.

Turn 31. Sep/Oct 1944. Western Allies #1. Central France. Combat Reporter's Notebook.

Good attack and decent rolls.

Turn 31. Sep/Oct 1944. Western Allies #1. Northern France. Combat Reporter's Notebook.

One near-sure attack (Paris) and one sure attack (Lille) see the allied player rolling a 2 for the first attack, followed by a 3 for the second. Another crummy "2", which allows Paris to hold out!

Turn 31. Sep/Oct 1944. Western Allies #1. Southern France, Northern Italy. Combat Reporter's Notebook.

Some more wonderful rolling by the allies, two "5's"! Fortunately, the first attack was automatic and the second, well it wasn't and cost the allies a unit destroyed a 3 more disorganized.

Turn 31. Sep/Oct 1944. Western Allies #1. Rome. Combat Reporter's Notebook.

Well, a better but still below average roll. This attack was automatic so the roll didn't matter. Well, looking at it, it wasn't. A 2 would have resulted in a lost unit and half the surviving units being disorganized.

Turn 31. Sep/Oct 1944. USSR #3. Eastern Front, South. Combat Reporter's Notebook.

Even in the rain the Soviets continue to press the attack. Unlike the Western Allies, the Soviets roll well for these two attacks.

Turn 31. Sep/Oct 1944. USSR #3. Eastern Front, North. Combat Reporter's Notebook.

The Soviets continue to roll well for the first of the next two attacks. However, for the second of these two a below average roll stings them a little.

Turn 31. Sep/Oct 1944. Western Allies #3. France, Belgium. Combat Reporter's Notebook.

The Western Allies also continue to press their attack on the Germans in the rain. The conduct three attacks and roll very well for all three attacks. One of which resulted in the liberation of Paris. And a second captured Brussels and resulted in the liberation of Belgium.

These attacks were the last land combat of the turn. There were no attacks by the Western Allies or the Soviets in the next allied impulse, #5 because of storms in the Arctic and North Temperate.
