Status: offline 		The Luftwaffe does to the British what they tried to do to the Kriegsmarine, a port attack on Liverpool. Rather than leave the entirety of England vulnerable to later strategic bombardment, the RAF sends up just one unit of Spitfires.
It is not enough, and they are harshly dealt with by the Focke-Wulf's.

Status: offline 		I forgot to take a screenshot of global control at the start of the turn, but here's Axis control at the end of the movement phase in their first impulse of May-Jun 1943. As you can see the Germans (and Turks) are using the Kuibyshev-Tashkent railway to head into central Asia. They have to cross mile after mile of desert. But with no mountains and no HQ's there is nothing the Russians can do to stop them.

Because they cannot retreat, the shatter result is all he needs.

Status: offline 		In North Africa, the US decides its time to attack, despite lacking much air power. There was a turn earlier for the US in which I forgot to build pilots, and have been paying for the mistake ever since.

Status: offline 		The constant air battles across the Channel continue to take their toll on both sides. The RAF sends bombers to Hamburg, with an escort for the first time. The Mosquitoes take a heavy toll of the intercepting fighters, but they still lose a bomber.

Status: offline 		With just one fighter wing now left (two others are disorganized) to defend all of England, the Germans (doing an air impulse) send bombers to no less than five separate cities. They cannot escort all of the bomber wings, but figure at the worst case they will lose just one unit, and four attacks will have a +1 bonus for not being intercepted.
It is the RAF's worst nightmare; almost complete Luftwaffe air supremacy over England!

The new Typhoons maul the vulnerable He-111 squadrons.

Status: offline 		However, despite the multiple bombing raids, the Luftwaffe pilots, perhaps nervous without an escort, fail to hit anything! Only the two Heinkel units over London (which did have an escort) achieve anything at all. Goering is furious.

Status: offline 		Meanwhile, in Central Asia, von Bock and Balbo decide not to use the Trans-Caspian railway to get to Tashkent. After all they will only have to force a crossing over the defended Amu Darya river, plus because of some strange supply bug they can't use the railway from Krasnovodsk anyway (there is indeed an Italian Convoy in the Caspian Sea, but it doesn't seem to be any help).
So they head across the Kara-Kum and Kyzl-Kum deserts. It will be a tough crossing but on the other side will be Inonu and his Turks coming from the other direction. With no HQ's and no defensible terrain anyway, there's not much that Stavka can do about this.
