It is more than time to take an interest in that city: Kiel is an objective hex yet unconquered.
The fall of both Berlin and Hamburg should see the fall of Germany; but we are not yet there.

The result is the minimum satisfying result for the allies: the hex is captured, some units are not disorganized! Possibly Hamburg can be successfully conquered on the next impulse, with a lot of luck!
For once, the para were critical in the success; they survive and may soon be reused on Hamburg.

Having disabled the whole German air force of course helps!

One of the mech had to retreat 5 hexes into Denmark..

While these small invasions look unimportant, they are, to the contrary, quite critical to any invasion of Japan: The more hexe held around Japan, the more air support that can be mustered!

The northern army group is hopelessly lost: it is only now a matter of time before it gets destroyed.

Status: offline 		As expected, Batavia falls easily.

An interesting question might be why I did not move the NEI territorial back to Batavia.
1) it was initially moved there to prevent an easy capture of the small port by the US mech unit; Batavia might have fallen much longer before if that move had not been done. Moving it away too soon opened up again the possibility of an early attack on Batavia. After all, two corps accross the straight attacking with the fleet support against the two (likely disrupted) defenders would give a 14 attack (or so) vs 4, i.e +7, with an additional +3 (+4 disorg, -1 city), or +10. With a paradrop (the para has been lurking around for long with the appropriate air transport), add +5 for a +15 attack: a good chance for success.

2) later, it just got stuck when the straight was constantly closed by Commonwealth naval units.

3) it prevented an attack on Palembang too.

However, this sets the div on another sea, where islands are still in need of being conquered, as in the case of Saipan.

This impulse good rolls come as a good counterpoint to the previous impulse rather poor ones...

The USA can only send three bombers.

However, the Japanese lose one fighter against one fighter.
Not a good exchange.

Unlikely that the USA will try again after losing three planes for absolutely no result!

Well, one must confess that 15 is far more than the expected result (lowest 2 of 4)

The siege of Berlin has now been lasting for many turns, and the Russians have been unable to capture it.

The Russians look at that useless 15 roll with envy.

Status: offline 		The situation in China has radicaly changed.
Most of the coast has been recaptured by the Chinese.
Islands of isolated Japanese units are being battered and slowly reduced by the enemy.
The only ports still in Japanese hands are these facing Taiwan, plus Canton. But they are too far to be reached by unsuppleied units, moving in the rain through montains. Even if the units did reach the ports, the path for ferrying them back to Japan where they are really needed is quite unsure.

Status: offline 		The axis thinks very hard before deciding what to do.
A lone bomber could be overrun and destroyed in Japan. Some units might try a run for the coast, most probably to be slaughter in a next impulse.
Germany could possibly take an air impulse to reorganize two fighters, but Berlin is beyond saving if the turn continues.
Nothing serious can be achieved beyond that.

End of turn is 20% if everybody passes.
10% if all but one pass.
0% otherwise.

Averybody passes, and the turn terminates on a roll of 2!

I'll have to redo the return to base whole phase.
The game is unable to detect that under the present conditions, the Netherland sub cannot make it back to port.
Of course, I cannot destroy it (unless there is a magic, unatural and undocumented way for doing so.)
That's one more bug that has not been corrected...

Have you tried hitting backspace with the unit selected? That is how one destroys a unit.
