The only Axis search to find anything is in the distant waters of the South Pacific. In clear weather the heavy cruisers Tone and Suzuya destroy a Dutch cp.

A solitary attack in storm-lashed southern Russia against a dis/oos Ski Division.

Weather improves globally as the impulse ends. German forces in Western France steel themselves against the expected assault from the growing Allied force south of the Loire. Strong German reinforcements drive through the Ile de France, and formerly mothballed Ju86G bombers take up positions to support von Leeb's army Group.

[X(] Why in this AAR the axis don´t call Turkey to join them? they only need 4 corps in hexes that axis control already

It's not so easy to get four corps into the Caucasus. They still can't be railmoved into that region and last turn Rommel lost all his troops on the attack on Tiflis...

Working on it ... and appreciate your attention to the narrative, Centuur.

AXIS #6 SEP/OCT 1942

Kuomintang forces captured Chihkiang, but took losses too. A bit awkward at the palace as the Emperor thought Umezu dead already.

Italy declared war on Greece. Greece aligns to CW.

3 land actions.

For the third time the Luftwaffe attempts to ground strike Yeremenko's HQ north of Moscow. There is air combat ...

... but the Stukas miss. Yeremenko is an expert in camouflage. He hides.

Italian bombers hit one of the Greek Mtn Corps guarding their resources.

Japanese bombers score a hit in south China, but hoped for more.

Exhausted Ethiopians occupy Nairobi, Kenya.

The Germans have the better of air combat above the attack in S Russia, but lose a good FW190.

The Stukas get through.

The Allies throw everything they have in support against von Leeb's blitz in W France. A massive aerial combat.

This time the Allies get their best bombers through.

The Japanese continue their offensive along the Wei Ho River.

Terauchi's Army Group is successful against communists south of the Wei Ho.

Another success to the north of the Wei Ho by the Japanese against Mao's beleaguered forces.

Both sides take losses in W France as CW Mech forces hold the line.

Italian divisions with experience from the invasions of Malta and Cyprus get ashore at Piraeus, Greece, with assistance from the battleship Impero and Gabbianos flying from Sicily.
