Allied Turn May 22, 1943 Previous Axis Turn: Frozen in the Arctic. Rain in Russia. Clear Everywhere else. In Greece, the Luftwaffe target the Greek Army outside Thessaloniki with 3 bomber strikes. UK Spitfires again go up against escorting German fighters and do a bit better this turn with some hits against the bombers as well as German fighters. The UK fighters suffer 6 damage (4 & 2), with unknown amount of damage to the Luftwaffe planes. A Romanian Corps then attacks the Greek Army bringing it down to a 4 strength after all the attacks. The other Greek Army, in the Albanian mountains, is attacked by an Italian Mechanized and 2 German Corps. All 3 attacking units suffer 2 losses without inflicting any. A Bulgarian Garrison seized Kavalla, Greece. The Germans take Basra and Kuwait, which had been evacuated. The Russian Corps in Ahwaz suffers under 3 arial bombardments, but manages to shoot down a few planes. The Corps is then encircled and destroyed, but manages to get a hit or 2 in on the attacking units. The Romanian HQ and fighters move out from their positions. A German Panzer Grenadier and a Romanian Army fall back westward to attack the Russian Corps in Stalino. They do 4 damage to the Corps, but it holds the town. The Grenadiers take 2 damage and the Romanian Army 1. Northwest of Rhzev a German Army attacks a Soviet Army, with both taking 1 damage. Another Soviet Army, southeast of Rhzev, is attacked by German Special Forces from the Town and a Panzer Grenadier. Katyusha fire in defensive of the Russians who take 3 damage, while the Special Forces take 1. The Finns apparently fall back a bit more, with only 1 Corps now currently visible. Allied Turn Frozen in the Arctic. Mud in Finland. Rain in Russia. Clear in Western Europe and Ukraine. Rain in Greece. Clear in England. Clear in Iraq. Clear in Egypt. American Medium bombers stationed in Gabes, Tunisia soften up the Italian Garrison in Tripoli. This is then followed by a US Army and a US Corps landings east and west of the city. Assaults destroy the Italian Garrison, but occupation will have to wait until next turn. American forces push through the Sinai to Gaza. US 8th Air Force (Strat bombers) bombards Rhodes for 4 damage. 2 UK Heavy Cruisers then blockade the port. Commonwealth reinforcements arrive in north eastern Greece. British Tactical bombers, escorted by Seafires from Ark Royal strike a 7 strength Bulgarian Corps. German Fighters intercept. Results: UK CV Air -2, UK TAC -1, GE FTR -2, BUL Corps -2. A 2nd wave of Tactical bombers is sent this time escorted by Formidable's fighters. The same German Fighters intercept. Results: UK TAC -2, GE FTR -1, BUL Corps -2. A 3rd wave is sent, escorts are regular Spitfires and interceptors are from a 2nd German Fighter group. Results: UK FTR -1, UK TAC -2, GE FTR -1, Bul Corps -2. Bul Corps is down to 1 strength. The 1 strength Bulgarian Corps is attacked by 10 strength Greek Corps and is only forced to retreat. *Yeesh* A Romanian Corps (at full strength but only INF Weapons 1) is attacked by a Greek Corps and takes 1 damage. 2 RN and 1 USN Battleships shore bombard an Italian infantry corps north of Tirana. The UK Army in Tirana then attacks the Italian Corps and does 1 damage to it. A Russian Light Cruiser scouts along the north coast of the Sea of Azov and spies German Tigers (heavy tanks) in Mariupol and a Romanian Fighter in Taganrog. The cruiser stops to blockade the ports of Taganrog and Rostov. A Russian Corps moves out of the Crimea to seize the mines and crossroads at Melitopol. All lines to Rostov are, temporarily, cut off. A Russian Corps moves from Tikhoresk to Scout Rostov itself and reports that it is occupied by the Romanian HQ! The Corps advances on the city from the south. Another Corps advances next to Rostov from the southeast and reports a German HQ northwest of Rostov. The two Corps attack Rostov and do 6 damage to the Romanian HQ, while one of the Corps takes 1 damage back. North of Rostov a Russian Corps finds a German AT unit behind the Don and attacks it. The AT takes 2 damage and the Russian Corps 3. The Russian Corps then pulls back. Another Russian Corps moves forward and attacks the AT, both units take 2 damage, and the Russian Corps again pulls back. In the northern part of the Moscow front, the Russians launch 2 rocket attacks at Rzhev to reduce morale and entrenchment. Rzhev is then attacked by 4 Russian Armies and the German Special Forces take 4 damage, and do 1 damage back to one of the Russian Armies. Further south in the line, a Russian Special Forces unit moves into the forest south of Kaluga, and sees the Italian HQ supporting the troops on the far southern flank. The Special Forces unit attacks a German Corps, both take 2 damage. A Siberian Shock Army moves next to the wounded Corps and attacks it doing 3 more damage, then retreats back to the forest. Katyusha rockets are fired at the German Corps at the southeast corner of the Moscow front, reducing morale and entrenchment. A 7 strength Russian Army then does 2 damage to the rocket shocked troops, then pulls back behind the lines. Siberian JS II (Heavy Tanks) then roll forward and destroy the German Corps. 2 Soviet Mechanized units then attack an Italian Corps near Orel and force it to retreat at 3 strength. The Italians do 1 point of damage to each Russian Mechanized unit. A third Soviet Mechanized unit rolls into the gap and then destroys the Italian Corps. A Russian Corps moves up to the next Italian Corps and attacks, doing nothing more than remove it's entrenchment. The 3rd Russian Mech then uses it's 2nd attack against that Italian Corps and does 3 damage while taking 1 back. Russian Paratroopers are then sent into the empty space beyond the lead Mech, a hex that borders a Hungarian HQ, an Italian HQ and an Italian fighter. The Fighter intercepts and runs into escorts from near Voronezh. The Italian fighters take 5 damage, while the Russians only 2. The Paratroopers are unharmed and land without casualties. With so many juicy targets, the paratroopers attack the damaged Italian fighters and destroy them while taking 1 damage themselves. Russian Tactical bombers are then sent after the Italian HQ. They are intercepted by German fighters near Smolensk. Russian escorts and German interceptors both take 3 damage, the Tactical bombers take 1 and the HQ takes 2. In Finland A Russian Army and Light Tanks move forward. The Light Tanks do 1 damage to a Finnish Corps. They hex swap with the Armored Train who does 2 more damage to the same Finnish Corps. Russian Tactical bombers are sent against the same Corps and a bloody air battle with the Finnish Fighters ensues: RU FTR -3, RU TAC -2, FIN FTR -4, FIN CORPS -2. The Russian Army then attacks and exchanges 1 damage with the Finnish Corps (now down to strength 4). Vichy France Battleship Lorraine vacillates and joins the Allies. The Russian Corps in Stalino suffers desertions. Turkey moves closer to the Allies +14% Reports Info Spain Axis 74% Syria Axis 61% Turkey Allied 17% Saudi Arabia Allied 32% UK 80% Morale USA 101% Morale USSR 103% Morale GE 105% Morale IT 64% Morale UK 17,112 MPP in combat losses USA 440 MPP in combat losses USSR 15,979 MPP in combat losses GE 29,276 MPP in combat losses IT 7,028 MPP in combat losses FR 7,377 MPP in combat losses (this includes the Netherlands & Belgium) UK 259 MPP lost to Subs/Raiders USSR 45 MPP lost to Subs/Raiders GE 1,255 MPP lost to Subs/Raiders GE 641 MPP lost to Strategic Bombing IT 3 MPP lost to Strategic Bombing UK 11,753 MPP on Units, 200 MPP on Diplomacy, 3,725 MPP on Tech USA 8,547 MPP on Units, 550 MPP on Diplomacy, 5,625 MPP on Tech USSR 21,771 MPP on Units, 150 MPP on Diplomacy, 3,350 MPP on Tech GE 29,760 MPP on Units, 300 MPP on Diplomacy, 2,600 MPP on Tech IT 4,325 MPP on Units, 150 MPP on Diplomacy, 1,200 MPP on Tech FR 1,619 MPP on Units, 0 MPP on Diplomacy, 0 MPP on Tech US Income: 871 MPP (excluding Lend Lease) USSR Income: 491 MPP (excluding Lend Lease) GE Income: 855 MPP (this is from the report so is an estimate.
