December 5 1941 USA 70%. The Germans in Africa led by General von Rundstedt, after pausing for a month, were back on the offensive and captured El Alamein. Our troops have organized a MLR behind the Nile. Most of the original Monty’s forces were destroyed in the last 6 months and only 2 infantry corps, 1 AA unit and the British Army now remain in the line, but new troops have arrived. These rookies are 2 Indian Armies, an Indian AA unit and a tank corps formed with US tanks (by script). Baghdad was being sieged. Kunming was captured by the Japanese.

December 5 1941 The cold weather arrived at last. At the last minute Daugavpils was evacuated by our troops, the city being surrounded by the invaders. Our fortified tank corps defending the Smolensk approaches was destroyed along with the fortification by panzer forces. Stalin concentrated the best Soviet troops around Pskov (to defend the Leningrad road) and Smolensk (to defend Moscow). The only armor available in this area sector is a unit of light tanks defending Velikiye Luki and 2 mech infantry near Pskov. The enemy operates with at least 2 panzerkorps + 2 mech infantry units, 3 Armies and 7 German Infantry corps plus AT and 3-4 bomber units… [image]local://upfiles/23459/D9AC37A6B0344DE984166E6AEE9E13D7.jpg[/image]

South of Pripyat marshes the weather in December was clear! The Germans attacked and destroyed both the heavy tanks and Soviet infantry corps defending Dnepropetrovsk but could not enter the city. General Zhukov counterattacked again west of Kharkov and destroyed a Hungarian Army and the Hungarian tank corps! A small victory and more so as Dnepropetrovsk was still in our hands… Additionally more armor arrived at Kharkov (Heavy Tanks plus a new tank corps), Stalin concentrating his best armor under Zhukov. Konotop was evacuated and a new defense established at Kursk. [image]local://upfiles/23459/7AB73915E5CF43EDAB18DE13A6DCF389.jpg[/image]

quote: South of Pripyat marshes the weather in December was clear! That's not that big of surprise actually. Last German turn in 1941 is Late Fall, not Winter. Therefore there's 40% for clear weather and 30% chance for no rain/snow for this weather zone. Not beyond realms of probability. What is more, you may get a clear weather even in Winter - 10% chance (which I find amusing) but still I saw it several times, and it's of course very annoying and potentialy painful. Fortunately, northern weather zones (north of Kursk-Voronezh line) have much worse (for GER) weather paterns. Time for a bold statement - USSR situation is good.

January 2 1942 USA 87%. The capture of El Alamein increased the USA mobilization and the “USA prepares for war message appeared at the end of the turn. Foreign Minister reported diplomatic success Turkey +17% Axis. The winter hit the German forces in the USSR and this turn the invaders were busy rebuilding their forces in the East. Germany 72 land units vs 48 USSR. [image]local://upfiles/23459/0EC7FE213E174F48884E623160FAE1B1.jpg[/image]

China. The Japanese Armies equipped with new Infantry Weapons 2 are advancing every turn, destroying one after the other our fortifications and units. We count a total of only 20 Chinese units… Ichang was evacuated after a series of furious Japanese attacks and the invaders reached our last fortified line defending the plains west of Chungking. Wanting town was captured near the Burmese border. [image]local://upfiles/23459/2370F2CD4048467DBF5B855E4349AEEA.jpg[/image]

January 30 1942 In a well planned attack Japan sunk all US Navy ships in Pearl Harbor with 4 CVs. In the Philippines he attacked with 3 SLF and 1 CV and destroyed the US fighter and strategic bombers. Near the American Samoa he deployed 1 BB, 2 CAs and 2 subs but failed to sink the US DD and CA. After sinking 2 German BCs and 1 CA near Madagascar a powerfulll British Task Force based around 2 CVs rushed back to India to replenish and refit. In record time they sailed again and just arrived in time to position most of their units around the Java Sea, waiting for the Japanese amphibious invasion surely to arrive. Unfortunately, no Japanese SNL forces were intercepted at sea, and the enemy managed to land 3 SNL forces in Java and Sumatra. After capturing Bandoeng a Japanese HQ was transported by ship to the recently seized port of Tjilatjap (level 5) and moved to Semarang. The brave Dutch soldiers defending Batavia were destroyed and the colony will surrender next turn. In this area the Kriegsmarine was operating 2-3 U-Boote and 1 CA, using then to spot Allied ships. Guadalcanal was captured by another unit of SNL forces that escaped miraculously being intercepted by our ships in the Solomons Sea.

As the crucial year of 1942 starts, we will review the losses so far. The Germans have been targeting our DDs in the war at sea and managed to sink 6 Allied DDs against no U-Boote losses but the KRIEGSMARINE lost 2 BCs, 3 CAs and 1 DD. The USSR is barely replacing their losses, losing every turn as many units as they can create. [image]local://upfiles/23459/6D8EB95EA2574486A448C5A944AB8F08.jpg[/image]

February 27 1942 Alexandria was captured and Cairo was doomed: an Indian Army was left behind acting as rearguard in a desperate delaying role. Baghdad surrendered and the few remaining Allied units retired towards the recently “pacified” Iraq as far as they could. Those 2 panzerkorps supported by 2 upgraded medium bombers are just a killing machine and no Allied units are able to stop them… The US General Wainwright escaped (God only knows how) from the Philippines and disembarked at Kuwait. The Philippines surrendered. [image]local://upfiles/23459/E421C011D6DB4D80A303F1C3CB9C1F6E.jpg[/image]

March 27 1942 Cairo falled in enemy hands and Egypt surrendered. Foreign Minister reported diplomatic success Turkey +6% Axis. A new defensive line was established between Jerusalem and Ammam. Germany 79 land units vs 50 USSR. In the Baltic States our defensive position at Parnu was about to be outflanked… The city of Smolensk was captured by the nazis. Our engineers started digging new forts around Moscow. [image]local://upfiles/23459/9E14BD60C248498796A2761BF4ED55BA.jpg[/image]

Dnepropetrovsk was captured in the Ukraine. Our positions around Kherson are strong and our defense line around the great river bend seems solid. General Zhukov hesitated. He had massed his tanks around Kharkov waiting for an opportunity to counterattack again. This 3 tank units were the best units that the Red Army had and are exposed in a vulnerable position… The best thing would have been to position them further back, along the prepared fortifications defending Rostov and Voroshilograd. His final decision was to leave them around Kharkov and reinforce the area with extra AA and AT, a decision that would change the whole WAR!

April 24 1942 The weather cleared in the Ukraine (we excepted mud or rain)… The invaders attacked with strong air support and run over our whole Kharkov defensive position like a tornado with new tanks level 3. The Guard Army, the Heavy tanks and 1 tank corps were destroyed and the second tank corps was severely damaged. The powerful blow left open a huge gap and our surviving troops retreated to defensive positions around Rostov. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the Stavka immediately transferred the 2 mechanized infantry units that were stationed around Pskov to assist in the defense of Rostov, thereby greatly debilitating our Northern front and the Leningrad defenses. This mechanized units will be dearly missed and their absence would have very serious consequences later on. It was a GAME CHANGING ATTACK and from here the Red Army would be a weakened force unable to withstand or stop the invaders… [image]local://upfiles/23459/76754B64D4A14DD581004713177C8005.jpg[/image]

May 22 1942 Capturing Melitopol the invaders effectively isolated the Crimean peninsula from the rest of the country. The numbers of available Red Army troops are diminishing at an alarming rate and the front is thinly held at many parts… [image]local://upfiles/23459/5B07A025C36A42529C4F589787EC2FCF.jpg[/image]

Tallin was captured, Pskov defenders destroyed and our line had to be moved back to a line Narva-Novgorod. Our last defensive positions around Smolensk are by now destroyed or about to be outflanked. As welcomed reinforcements, 3 new AT units were created (by script) at Gorky. [image]local://upfiles/23459/8B86D17355FD4131AA10F2F75BD6734F.jpg[/image]

China The Chinese continued their advance Northwest along the plains with more troops and soon reached Chengdu. But they left empty the plain Hex South of the river and General Jack Ma ordered a counterattack. The Chinese light tanks advanced to occupy the plain Hex South of the river and effectively cut the Japanese supply… We calculated that all 5 Japanese units were left out of supply for next turn!

The battle of the Norwegian Sea begun. 5 U-boote and 2 maritime bombers were raiding the Murmansk convoys and a sub-destroyer group was created around 3 US escort carriers with 2 British CVs. They were surprised by the ice in May! For the next turns air/sea battles took place in that area, both sides taking losses, but the convoy route remained open for the whole summer… [image]local://upfiles/23459/49DA425055D341F9B11CD76E831416EE.jpg[/image]

June 19 1942 After a brief pause the Germans launched again another offensive in the Middle East. Jerusalem, defended by a fully entrenched British Army, was easily captured. Leaving behind another “volunteer” Indian Infantry unit as rearguard at Amman, our troops continued their long retreat towards Baghdad. A Canadian tank unit arrived at Basra after a long journey at sea. All of the U-Boote operating in the Norwegian Sea were by now damaged to some extend… [image]local://upfiles/23459/F0FD483526734C22944CB7ED8436D52E.jpg[/image]

The invaders reached Novgorod and were gathering a strong Army group to push beyond Smolensk towards Moscow. More bad news, the Germans breached our defensive position at Kherson and entered the Crimea peninsula reaching Kerch. Germany 86 land units vs 48 USSR. So far the Germans have invested 2150 MPPs in research and Japan only 850 MPPs vs 5375 MPPs USA, 2075 MPPs UK and 1675 MPPs the USSR.

A combined strategic bomber offensive took place and all cities and towns occupaied by the invaders were heavily damaged to 0-1 supply level.

September 25 1942 Rzhev, Morozovsk, Kotelnikovo, Vyazma and Kaluga are captured. October 23 1942 For the 2nd turn in a row sand storms in the Middle East, no action as our planes were grounded. The Germans kept pushing in the USSR and the Japanese around Irkutsk. For the last 5 turns no MMPs were sunk and the Soviet are getting around 250 MPPs every turn. Rangoon was captured and Burma surrendered. Many Allied naval assets defend India. US troops started to concentrate and train in the East coast.

The Germans roll over our defenses in the Caucasus. Highly frustrating and unhistorical weather. January 1943 The Germans captured Grozny and Tbilisi menacing Baku and Saratov.
