warspite1 -> RE: 2 warspite1 (Axis) vs AllenK (Allies) Full Campaign (3/14/2021 2:51:49 PM)
Turn 67 + Turn 68 26 March - 10 April 1942 Well that was unexpected - and frankly jolly naughty. The Soviets have declared war on the Japanese... That means I have to get an HQ and some decent infantry on the scene PDQ. In better news for the Japanese, two Chinese armies were destroyed.

Turn 67 + Turn 68 26 March - 10 April 1942 The Italians are about to be kicked out of North Africa. Poor play really. But I felt the boys in East Africa would continue to delay things and the Italians would be better off in the USSR.... [image]local://upfiles/28156/E9A7BA2D414942BC908F10F6B0ED4667.jpg[/image]

Turn 67 + Turn 68 26 March - 10 April 1942 In the Soviet Union/Finland, some progress is made. The Finnish III Corps manages to reach Archangel. while IV Corps will be looking to head south toward Volkhov. Two German armies, supported by the 10 Panzergrenadiers, press on toward Tallin.

Turn 67 + Turn 68 26 March - 10 April 1942 In the Caucasus the Romanian tank corps gets over-excited and runs into trouble west of Grozny. But otherwise. steady progress is made. [image]local://upfiles/28156/25F02C40DE804A358B97ADC0BEE07691.jpg[/image]

Turn 67 + Turn 68 26 March - 10 April 1942 I need to clear Orel before (hopefully) turning on Moscow. But I can't occupy the city. [image]local://upfiles/28156/70751BE8CBDC477190896A358520A259.jpg[/image]

Turn 69 + Turn 70 24 April - 8 May 1942 Things already looking desperate in Manchuria... Manchouli falls and not a lot left to hit back with. [image]local://upfiles/28156/7C216412E1E540A18238F537D89E218C.jpg[/image]

Turn 69 + Turn 70 24 April - 8 May 1942 ...but now is not the time to panic. Umezu continues to press and his forces destroy an army and the fortifications it was defending, northeast of Ichang. Further south, another army and more fortifications are destroyed, southeast of Kweichow. [image]local://upfiles/28156/C01BAA248C964C378C15D93EEDED035E.jpg[/image]

Turn 69 + Turn 70 24 April - 8 May 1942 In the Soviet Union things become tougher, although some progress is made in the Caucasus, where the German/Romanian force push toward Grozny and Stalingrad. [image]local://upfiles/28156/47DC7337896A495E8BC2629391D9D48C.jpg[/image]

Turn 69 + Turn 70 24 April - 8 May 1942 To the north however, little progress is made and there can be no direct assault on Moscow without securing the flanks. [image]local://upfiles/28156/F508098E181F45CEB614C3B23AE5B086.jpg[/image]

Malagant -> RE: 2 warspite1 (Axis) vs AllenK (Allies) Full Campaign (3/15/2021 10:43:02 PM)
Is there any disadvantage to USSR breaking the treaty and attacking Japan (other than the second front)?

quote: ORIGINAL: Malagant Is there any disadvantage to USSR breaking the treaty and attacking Japan (other than the second front)? warspite1 I assume not (other than the second front) because everyone is at war. I would imagine there may be a penalty if the Soviets tried it pre the USA entering - but then again I could never imagine that happening - unless perhaps the Germans couldn’t take France. But then the gameis over anyway.

smckechnie -> Russian Early attack on Japan (3/21/2021 1:05:20 AM)
If Russia attacks Japan before the entry of the US into the war, there is a pretty severe hit to US mobilization. In fact, if you do it, I would not plan for the US to enter the war until mid 42. If Russia is doing well against the Germans in 40/41, then it might be an ok move, but most of the time the Russians need every unit they can get on the Eastern Front.

Post to put the name of this thread back to what it should be - no idea why it was changed.

Turn 71 + Turn 72 22 May - 5 June 1942 The Soviets continue their attack in Manchuria. The hastily formed Army Group Homma (with just three armies) races to the scene - and I have to leave my border troops to try and hold up the Soviet advance before they reach Harbin.

Turn 71 + Turn 72 22 May - 5 June 1942 Meanwhile, attempts to take Ichang stall when my Umezuu's forces can't enter the space vacated by a destroyed Chinese army. The remaining corps east of the river remains stubbornly unwilling to die.... [image]local://upfiles/28156/CF26159CA63E47BDA2C6FBF3DF59086E.jpg[/image]

Turn 71 + Turn 72 22 May - 5 June 1942 In the Soviet Union, things get much, much tougher, The only successes are the taking of Tallin and the destruction of a corps south of Stalingrad... I race reinforcements to the scene as best I can. In both the North and East the Italians are about to be kicked out of Africa...

Turn 73 + Turn 74 19 June - 3 July 1942 China is pretty static. It's like a couple of drunken heavyweights that traded blow after blow but neither can knock the other out. But the Japanese take Batavia - Huzzah!! And finally get rid of Wainright from Corregidor. [image]local://upfiles/28156/ACE0B7C032D748D2B7AFCB3C9C6157B4.jpg[/image]

Turn 73 + Turn 74 19 June - 3 July 1942 The only place I was making progress in the Soviet Union... and now that has come to a halt. Stalingrad is well defended. [image]local://upfiles/28156/6CF18DD6E2E14B549BBF3F9C4D3E0A3B.jpg[/image]

Turn 73 + Turn 74 19 June - 3 July 1942 For some reason my u-boats seem powerful in the Barents Sea and environs. I've destroyed two destroyers. I also think I've destroyed 1 off the coast of Ireland after it ran into a sub.... [image]local://upfiles/28156/6708373FD29A486BBE25C47EF43065BE.jpg[/image]

Turn 75 + Turn 76 17 - 31 July 1942 In the USSR, things remain difficult in the north and the centre. The Finns are coming in for some considerable pressure. But there is some better news in the south where the oil fields west of Grozny have fallen, and also a precarious hold is had on Stalingrad.

Turn 77 + Turn 78 14 - 28 August 1942 In northern China a Chinese light tank gets overly curious around Paotow and is rudely despatched from this world into the next. To the east, Homma's forces continue to hold the line - but there are two weak garrisons in that line. However Homma is loathe to call up his only reserve unit - 3rd Army, based in Mukden at this stage. [image]local://upfiles/28156/A44ABCFD875F4F21BF09F81DD2682834.jpg[/image]

Turn 77 + Turn 78 14 - 28 August 1942 The main focus for Japan in China remains the areas around Kweichow and Ichang. The British have joined the party west of the former, while the Chinese are seemingly short in numbers around the latter. [image]local://upfiles/28156/9B8863EC1A3048FF82AC80C842C8D01A.jpg[/image]
