5th April 1942 Reinforcements United States - Heavy Artillery (Norfolk) Soviet Union - 4 x Army (Gomel, Kursk, Zaporhyze, Stalino) - 1 x Heavy Artillery (Gomel) MPP Expenditure UK - Advanced Aircraft research, Destroyer and a Garrison USA - Diplomacy in Spain, Algeria and Tunisia (2 chits each) Patton USSR - Rocket Artillery, Mchanised, 4 x Army, 1 x Corps, 2 x Garrison Good. The British buy another load of rubbish they don't need instead of the actual country that wants them..... That'll help the position in Egypt enormously [8\|] [image]local://upfiles/28156/BF4D3F7A388E468F979B93D05713FD1E.jpg[/image]

5th April 1942 One of the Wolf Packs that was causing mayhem in the Norwegian sea tries to get back to Germany using the comfort of Norwegian waters. The 16th and 3rd flotillas keep track of the pack, follow them to the entrance to one of the many fjords, corner them and sink each in turn. The Wolf Pack caught in the Western Approaches is far luckier and receives only minor damage from three destroyer attacks. Meanwhile the US Fleet and convoy is heading ever closer to the Eastern Meditteranean..... [image]local://upfiles/28156/55118A65AEAC47EFB20F8EE1D34F2118.jpg[/image]

27th April 1942 I won't use separate pictures for the Axis turn as this seemed to be something of a consolidation turn. There were attacks of course but I suspect most units were being rested for a big push once the weather is right. There is no doubting the big news from the Pacific furreal do. Four months ago on 7th December 1941 World War II started. Rafe McCawley has vowed to finish it. [image]local://upfiles/28156/4BABA0347732490A9C02D0B7D5AAF524.jpg[/image]

27th April 1942 Good news from the Middle East. That frees up an army and a corps for use in the Western Desert. [image]local://upfiles/28156/E596CA0385AE4A8ABD756A0AC693AAA2.jpg[/image]

27th April 1942 United Kingdom There was no activity from the U-Boats this turn, although intelligence reports a wolf pack sighting off northwest Spain. This must have been a pack previously attacked as the surviving boats were quickly found by the 1st Escort Flotilla and sunk. In Egypt its a consolidation turn - all MPP are used to reinforce the army and air force there. [image]local://upfiles/28156/B9923B41370946A7B5355C353D657E7E.jpg[/image]

27th April 1942 Neither Riga nor Daugvapils were able to be brought fully up to strength. I fear the worst here. [image]local://upfiles/28156/A32BD3E3E1E944FBA047CA927323F6F2.jpg[/image]

27th April 1942 The breach between the two panzergruppen has been made wider but I still cannot break down the panzer unit that has been trapped now for about three turns. Not sure what the Germans have around Kiev to be honest.... [image]local://upfiles/28156/F3B51205B3ED45BE9BEA539D3CE0848B.jpg[/image]

27th April 1942 Similar situation exists at Kherson as in the north. I have not been able to fully reinforce the defenders of the city and of course they remain non-upgraded too.... [image]local://upfiles/28156/AA05B700673A465496BD1B4781A5B472.jpg[/image]

8th May 1942 I think I will let the quite brilliant Bad Cop succinctly sum my feelings up about that turn... Kherson and Riga fall.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHpzPtlu1xY

8th May 1942 Ritter von Leeb's men finally make the big breakthrough. Riga falls and the way over the Dvina is now assured. The only good news is that once again the German infantry seems to have taken significant casualties. I think my best bet would be to use the existing troops to delay the Germans on the Dvina as long as possible and give myself the chance to build up some sort of defence further back (white lines), and where fortification work has at least started.

8th May 1942 Von Bock looks like he is serious about marching on Moscow once more. He has arranged a formidable Army opposite Minsk. To the south I now have my answer about whether the AI has left Kiev undefended... The 4th PzG is out of supply and morale and readiness are circa 20% - but its still suicide to attack. Lets hope my newly arrived Katayushas can make a difference. [image]local://upfiles/28156/A7632054973347CE86FD5E5D24ADD863.jpg[/image]

8th May 1942 A little tip: rather than just talking about a choke point, it might actually be more useful to, you know, actually do something about it [8\|]. Although the fort at Feodosiya is complete and that in the Taman Peninuslar is under construction, the defences at Perekop have not been started and, worse still, the position is not even manned...... With the Germans having crossed the Lower Dnepr at Kherson, that little detail is kind of important d'ya think? [8\|] [image]local://upfiles/28156/8CCFB51B91EB47E98269A9F1E8623F4C.jpg[/image]

8th May 1942 The position in Egypt is looking better by the day. The Germans continue to exhaust themselves on the El-Alamein line, while in the meantime, the British Army grows stronger. The Americans have now come to play too. [image]local://upfiles/28156/5D08C01654614466869F46DB1E1FA466.jpg[/image]

8th May 1942 The position in the Pacific does not seem to be getting any better, although in the Indian Ocean the British forestall any ideas the Japanese may have had to use Madagascar as a base. [image]local://upfiles/28156/43423A29AF0D4BE5AD6DD28812283F9C.jpg[/image]

19th May 1942 ...and so is that. So those units I got previously cannot have been Siberian transfers. May be they were at start forces that I didn't have last time?? I'll post in the main forum for advice on that. ...anyways, in the meantime, take a look at these bad boyz which, like the 7th Cavalry, have arrived in the nick of time.

19th May 1942 Reinforcements United Kingdom 1 x Garrison (Norwich) [8\|] Soviet Union 1 x Garrison (Kharkov) United States 1 x Strat Bomber (Philadelphia) 1 x HQ - Bradley (Norfolk) MPP Expenditure UK - At last the British can set about repairing and upgrading some naval units - particularly destroyers. There is still enough MPP for reinforcement and upgrade of some units in the desert. USA - Anti Aircraft and Tanks USSR - 1 x Army, 1 x Garrison plus reinforcing and upgrading + operational movement of reserves.

19th May 1942 The Gomel pocket is at last liquidated thanks to fine co-ordination of all arms. The Vozd would like it known that he personally directed the battle... [image]local://upfiles/28156/BD7BAB6F756B42C184544D100BB4F8BE.jpg[/image]

19th May 1942 In the north, the Soviets use up a lot of MPP on operational movement and getting the Siberian transfers to where they are needed. From nothing, suddenly the Soviets have the makings of a second line defence once the Dvina position is overwhelmed. [image]local://upfiles/28156/A8F49F83AFED437B8F3809A48405874D.jpg[/image]

30th May 1942 The fortress at Daugvapils is taken. The Soviet 23rd Army fights to the last man but is overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of enemy forces it had to face. [image]local://upfiles/28156/CAEDE15798F44E8BA0BAF79E23F8621A.jpg[/image]

30th May 1942 German reaction to the loss of 4th Panzer Gruppe is limited. Clearly the main effort is in the north and south - with Minsk firmly back on the agenda. [image]local://upfiles/28156/759A9477C6064B45A29B266CDE9A5DAB.jpg[/image]

30th May 1942 The Germans have only a weak force aimed at the Crimea. The main goal is the surrounding of forces around Dneprpetrovsk. The Hungarian 2nd Army sent out a reconnaissance in force toward Kharkov but was surprised by the Soviet 6th Shock Army in the city. The Hungarians were lucky not to be completely annihilated... To the south the German I Corps were tasked with trying to surround and cut-off Soviet forces in and around Zaporhyze. The Soviet position here is looking critical.
