July 1941.

I am able to capture Manchester and London this turn. I have roughly half my army in the UK now and must shifting them east quickly.

In the South, I am able break through and push into Southern Ukraine.

Further north, the line is stiffer. I will not be able to do much here until I can get my air force and artillery from the UK.

Ok, western turn.

In England i disbanded my remaining troops since they lost their HQ this turn and has been without command and supply.
Very hard to lose these great units this way. Tanks with 70 XP and my well trained and loved divebombers that hit the enemy so hard several times
With the german fast attack on Russia things will become much more complicated. The Axis can use nearly it´s full firepower against Russia
since the UK are secured. And alone the Luftwaffe can eliminate bigger parts of my army within a few turns.

My strategy is now moving back in Russia to evade the german initial attack and recover my readiness (caused by a action card played by Germany).
Then win some time until the USA joins the war (starting 1943). But even with the help of the USA i think it´s not longer possible to win that war.
The russian income is simply too low to stop the Germans that get supply and production from nearly whole Europe now. And the West can´t
help effective since Norway is under german control so i would lose bigger amounts of transferred PP´s.
Only chance is a second front. The question is how to realize that. Will have to think about.

Would like to post some screens of Russia, but can´t show Tom my defense lines in detail. Sorry.

how long does the loss of rediness last when that hand card is played?

lasts 1-2 turns depending on supply situation
