"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.

If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were.

Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind;

and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee..."

Taking the game this far is an interesting experience.  Cornel and I are about a week to ten days ahead of these posts, and as the positions crumble I find myself thinking upon just what such an outcome would have meant.  One really cannot think of much good to say about the Nazis astride the whole world. When I play the Axis in games I imagine myself in control of whole nations, with the power to make them "good guys", but being on this end of the loss I have no such solution. I am reduced to listening to "Land of Hope and Glory" and wishing God would make us "mightier still".

If you have never played out the whole crushing spectacle it might be worth a try.

It may be consoling that few empires lasted long, including totalitarian ones - even though the verdict is still out for a few of them.

On the other hand, if the outcome of WWII would have been different, we would have been brainwashed differently, too - and probably now rejoice instead that, fortunately, western capitalism was defeated 70 years ago - as hard as that is to imagine in today's world. But who is still mourning the lost cultural values of conquered ancient empires?

Back to the task at hand:

As the length of the Russian front line shrinks it turns out that the German Heer is too large in comparison to Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine. We start a voluntary disarmament process of regular infantry in favor of upgrading the other weapon branches. (We dismantle troops near Atyrau. The unit lost to the Soviets near Orsk was of course not a planned reduction and a clear victory for the Red Army).

The Italian fleet has still not arrived in the Northern Atlantic, treading very carefully through African waters. The worst case scenario for the Axis right now is to encounter the RN while our fleets are still separated. We are also reluctant to release our tanks prematurely for an invasion of England before finishing off the strong Ural defenses completely. Hence England has to wait a bit longer.

Axis, November 1st, 1941

Early preparations for the invasion of England start. We begin to route every aircraft available to the Axis to the channel coast. Some tanks are transported to ports but need some repair and refit before disembarkation. The Kriegsmarine is brought to full strength and amphibious landing craft are purchased, Fallschirmjaeger are trained. (All together a much larger expense than even the quite substantial Axis economy can handle in a week - hence it will be still a few weeks before the action commences).

The battle for the British Isles has started. We refuse for one more turn to engage the one strong asset remaining to the British, her Navy and entrust the initial attack to the Luftwaffe and airborne units. But we expect a vicious counter-attack of British war ships on our supply lines to Southhampton after this. We may have to weather a few weeks of low supplies. But our land based aircraft can support the RM and Kriegsmarine in their effort to reopen supply lines.

Axis, December 1st, 1941

Epic naval battles take place in the NE Atlantic. The RN is probably in strong battle formation and both sides take heavy losses. We assume that the number of vessels on both sides is about equal, but the RN has more capital ships and carriers. The naval attacks by the Luftwaffe make all the difference, though.

The one drawback of running in battle formation instead of individual raiders is that the RN has a higher chance to miss our supply convoy this turn - which indeed they had to let pass undetected in the foggy December weather.
