Status: offline 		Bad news for the Russians and Allies alike: Berlin has been thouroughly reinforced with the Berlin militia and the SS engineer div. That will make the city harder than ever to conquer! To add insult to injury, the German have rolled old planes out of storage, 3 old Messerschmidt from the years 36... Rating 3, but one still has to account for them!

The Japanese have not been idle, using pilots to man 3 land based fighers, of poor rating (5); but thats still some defense. Worse, a territorial has apperaed in Madagascar, making all the ballet from 2 turns absolutely moot. Very likely, Diego Suarez won't be captured!

The allies have to reroll to grab the initiative.

Possibly, but unsure.
Anyway, this is not the right way to do things: the option should be available in the contextual menu.

Pss...

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.

They start with an air offensive: It is necessary to flip all units in Berlin, and prevent any possible reiforcements.
This will also let move some other planes.
In any case, the Russians abandon the idea that they can capture Helsinky this turn.

As usual, the Commonwealth and USA take supercombined.

Removing an engineer division is certainly a good result. The plane, on the other hand...

But in Berlin, the Russian meet a quite strong air defense les by the most modern German fighters...

They still scramble to the defense, but don't succeed in achieving anything serious.

Once more, they just do the minimal job not to be blamed.

Now, most of central Japan is just stuck, armies unable to move around.

The Russians smile wildly. Yet, the result is not so bad, the hex is captured and both German units are destroyed: they now have no retreat path.

Status: offline 		South of Yokohama, the Japanese smile not at all.
The allied landing is perfect, and no unit is available for a counterattack: Yokohama is in serious danger with 4 marine units around, and more units to land in the next impulses.
If the allies wat to achieve some success, they have to capture Tokyo. The path seems clear: head east along the coast, or roll over Yokohama. Both strategies have their value, both will likely involve a fight before reaching Tokyo, and the Japanese army in not in position to counter any, nor to reinforne any city after the devastating swarm bombing raid that took off from the allied carriers.
The allies do have pending reinforcements, but the Japanese navy is in no position to destroy them: they are protected by hordes of battleships and cruisers; the remaining planes are in no position to reach them.
The allies supply line cannot be broken (it might under MWIF limited supply rules which doesn't let Korea be supplied from Paris, but I won't be using that): there are too many transports in the China Sea, and the allies will be able to land a HQ south of Yokohama.

The US reorg many of their units, Russia does what it can for its planes.
