I have got the Germans up to about june 1940 both east and western camapigns. The next battle the Japs have is i believe September 1940 against the Chinese. They had 3 battles so far against the Russians in 1939 and early 40s. I have the russians next battle as June 1941 against the Germans. The Russians so far have had 3 battles against the Finns, all assaults.
My question is this. What happened from early 1940 till 1941 for the russians. Im sure if the Japs were attacking russia in 1939 the russians would have fought back. Was a lot of these battles left out of the long campaign. The germans have had at least 5 battles so far and i am still only up to June 1940 with them. But only 3 battles with the russians and am in the middle of 1941 with them.
By the way Germany has had all decisive victorys except for one minor. This is in at least 6 battles so far. Where with Russia all i could get was 3 draws against the Finns. The Japs have 2 decisive and one draw against Russia. The British vs Germany May 1940 i managed a minor.
Except for one battle in early 1940 Russia is not in the war until middle of 1941. By the time i get to them again once the other powers get to 1941, i will have forgotten all i learnt about there forces and how they fight.
My goodness robot, you've done only what I've dreamed of doing, and even my dreams are more limited. My idea was to run a German campaign and a USSR one at the same time to settle once and for all who was the best.
I'm not sure how SPWAW works anymore, but in SPWW2 you can select the number of battles when starting each campaign, so that no matter how late they get start (like the US) you can still compare the same battle numbers for each side anyway. In SPWAW, they will let you pick numbers of battles for campaigns on the "generated" campaigns anyway (not sure about the WWII campaign). Perhaps a good alternative if you still want to play the WWII campaign vareity is to write down all the losses and points for each battle, and then later you can average out the losses and points and see who fares better. I will caution you, however, that if the sides don't have relatively equal points for the core force starting out, it probably wouldn't be too fair a comparison.
Don't be surprised that your USSR does very poorly compared to the Wehrmacht starting out. Try to keep the core's losses to a minimum (tough to do against the Finns) and probably by the GE invasion you'll at least have half your AFV's in competitive form. BTW, there's an easy way to solve your possible forgetting how to fight with the USSR by the time the next battle comes, and that's to alternate the side you battle with. For example: Battle one is as GE, battle two with the USSR, and battle three with JA. I know that makes the equipment jump around a bit, such that maybe battle 4 with GE is with PZIVC's while battle 4 for USSR might be facing GE PZIVE's, but that is an alternative from being absent from one campaign so long that it gives a drift factor.

Long campaign up to the 1940s - 
World at war, indeed. Wow--I do well with keeping track of just one (thank the gods for Campaign Watcher.)
