Well that is not surprising - they have very few bombers - and hardly any aircraft in the east.

Indeed.

But even with few aircraft they have an advantage over USSR.

Even more valuable on the Russian Front are any and all Italian aircraft.

Does Germany possibly have more HQ-A than actual ARM in the east?


After all the Japanese DOW changes, where does the US Entry against the Euro Axis sit?

I further suggest that USSR cancels any and all trade deals they have with Germany. And that trade is established as soon as possible between US, CW, and USSR. I recommend that this new trade route is opened, at the latest, in January 1942.

I will mail you the save shortly. Just checking the convoy lines.

I mean that I would like US to start trading with USSR, and establish a lend-lease program. It will not be much because there is a lack of free convoy points.

And I also would like you to ponder for a while on our Grand Strategy and then we can talk about it. The situation has changed now and I think USSR will be in the war soon. Or I hope so anyway.

Sure. It will take some 10 to 30 minutes. Or so I suspect. I had a break for dinner so I haven't looked at this.

The USSR-Germany trade deals are mandatory, not voluntary. Unless you mean that the USSR should declare war on Germany, which would certainly cancel the trade deals.

It was just some hinting that it was about time that the Soviet Union should fully join the Allied side. No real relevance to the actual trade deal.

Edit: Thank you for keeping me straight.

Land Movement:
China:

1) 1st Cav -> 88, 140
2) 2nd Cav -> moves through 86,143 and then to -> 88, 142 (important that it moves through that hex so that supply can be provided)
3) HQI -> 85, 140
4) 19th Garr -> 84, 140
5) 8th INF -> 81, 140 (Ichang)
6) 4th Mot Div -> 81, 143 (Wuhan)
7) 2nd Inf Div -> 85, 142 (Changsha)
8) 6th INF -> 82, 139

Status: offline 		Impressive manoeuvrings in China old fruit.

As for the future, I wonder if they are not going to attack the Soviet Union? Seems strange that they put two Stukas in western Germany?

Alternatively they will attack - to get Romania in - but the focus will remain on kicking the Allies out of Spain.

If I was them I would wait for the Soviets to get impatient and march up to the border (to get the right garrison nos.) and then attack.

If they don't attack I will need to do that regardless of the risk.

Subject to the dreaded god of dice (did you see my naval search throws???) the position in Manchuria looks good.

Question is - do we head for Spain with the US reinforcement or perhaps drip feed reinforcements into Northern Spain, and meanwhile try and unlock Sardinia and Corsica via Algeria? A lot to be said for the latter approach I think, as it widens the area that the Axis have to garrison.

Status: offline 		Mmmmm the more I think about it, the more I wish I had simply brazened it out. If the Germans wanted to declare war in the winter without aircraft then good luck to them. At least my units would have been in position to turn the tables if the dice worked right (although the latter is a somewhat big if! )

Nothing to worry about. Sometimes bad things happens in war.

Status: offline 		However. A think we need a new policy. Time to end the Axis air supremacy in the BoB and CSV. If they want to attack our supply link in the 0-box then we should strive to have at least as many defending aircraft as they have attacking aircraft. And having bombers or naval bombers that can be used to soak up losses if need be.

Land the division, move the PART out, land a CW Corps; next impulse move the division out and land the Yankees.


Rinse and repeat as needed in France, also, except there you will need a Free French division.
