In Southern China, Yamamoto's army group are again not able to gain ground. This time a "3" was rolled on an attack on Kweilin. The High Command has had enough and sends over Umezu to take over command of a part of Yamamoto's army group. And again, no snow in the temperate zone this turn. Rivers must be flooding in the temperate zone by now. Since S/O there have only be rains and storms. Harvests are failing throughout the world, I believe...

The US President announces an oil embargo against Japan. The Japanese Imperial Command has however, saved 13 oil to continue the war for at least another year. And it looks like the US lacks tension...

March-april 1941 starts with the Allies winning the initiative. Of course, the Axis don't reroll. And the Allies decide to move first. A wise decisions, since the weather clears throughout the world. The Soviets decide to "run away" and make sure they get the necessary hexes between the Luftwaffe and the frontlines...

Heeresgruppe S�d suddenly gets reports that the frontlines are emptied. The crossing of the river can be done without having to fight for it...

Of course, the weather will not be fine for the next couple of impulses. With this weather, the Soviets decide to stay put for this impulse. Will the Wehrmacht attack and if so: where?

That the hammer will fall in the Ukraine is something which isn't a surprise anymore. The question is only will it fall this impulse?

In China, Mao finally retreats in the mountains, while in Tokyo, the Imperial chiefs of staff are debating if, with the oil embargo now in place, the all-out attack on China will continue or not...

While in the south, the city of Kweilin got captured by the Japanese troops, who exacted a terrible revenge on the cities population. Japanese mountain troops close the Birma road.

The orders for Heeresgruppe Nord are quite simpel: keep the enemy busy and advance slowly if you can. Rommel and Von Leeb have clear orders: "don't take unnecessary risks, but keep on looking for opportunities to attack".

In the rain from last turn, the Luftwaffe Fighter pilots did prove their superiority over their Soviets counterparts. In dog fights, two Soviet FTR's were destroyed, together with the pilots, with no losses on the German Luftwaffe. This means that the Luftwaffe now has air superiority, even with a lot of Soviet bomber squadrons still standing by...

During this air-to-air combat, using the latest beta test version given to us by Steve, we ran into a serious bug again, forcing us to simulate the result using debug tools. The bugs in air-to-air combat keep appearing again and again. And for as long as air-to-air combat give these kind of bugs, there isn't going to be a patch, I think. But don't worry, we'll continue to send Steve bug reports so he can look into things and make the necessary repairs. Some day, we will succeed...

Seriously though, I too have confidence that we'll get there some day.

I must say that's a bit disappointing. I'm currently running a hybrid between 2.8.4 & 2.7.0. Everything but carrier air battles seem to be working very well, especially convoys and resource routing, in 2.8.4. The only big show stopper for me is when the game freezes when CVP's are returning to their carriers during naval air combat. So, I use 2.7.0 to fight these battles. I've found that this version is the best latest version for fighting naval air. For everything else wrt/solo play 2.8.4 is, in my opinion, superior. And when it comes to convoys and production 2.8.4 is vastly superior to all the previous versions. Again, in my opinion.

By the way, I'm very much enjoying your AAR.

Of course, when the weather clears in the Arctic, turn ends before the Wehrmacht can exploit this...

The destroyed pool doesn't show the two Soviets FTR's with their pilots...

At start of the M/J 1941 the weather is very, very bad. But there's one upside to the weather roll: 80% chance of fine weather next impulse. So I've decided to see if I could sink some British convoys and let the Kriegsmarine sail. However, no luck on my end. Search rolls were all but good...

The situation at Heeresgruppe Nord:
