Krasnodar was captured, the battle for Stalingrad and Voronezh begun. The weakened Soviet forces in the Caucasus are being easily destroyed. [image]local://upfiles/23459/18BE10A33BFA4346883F70B367F9AD7F.jpg[/image]

October 23 - November 6 1942 The Axis reacted quickly to our Mediterranean expeditions. A couple of infantry corps appeared near Istanbul and a Turkish Army was operated to Tripoli, blocking Beirut port and slowing our progress north into Turkey. But worse still: the Liberation of Greece by the US troops did not turn the whole country into an Allied territory as I was expecting. All the ports and cities in Greece remained Axis controlled and the 1st US Army ended the turn out of supply surrounded by an angry mob of Italians! I made a mistake with the 1st US Army not leaving it in Athens after landing [:@] The flow of reinforcements for the Middle East is constant. General Mc Arthur sailed directly from Australia via Suez (only later knowing that it was almost intercepted by the Japanese fleet). From England General Lord Gott disembarked in Suez along 2 British Armies and some Canadian tanks. New US Strategic Bombers level 4 were based in Cyprus. US marines disembarked in Istanbul to reinforce the 2nd US Army holding the important city and the passage to the Balck Sea. Amman and Cairo were liberated.

US marines captured The Hague and Amsterdam, liberating the Netherlands. US marines landed in Hamburg, isolating Denmark from Germany. We think that the Axis garrisons of this cities were directed to the Mediterranean earlier this turn. [image]local://upfiles/23459/2F4EEC12BF2042479C3ED0A7650AAEC7.jpg[/image]

Smolensk and Tula were captured. A third Tiger unit arrived to the area! The winter arrived at last. [image]local://upfiles/23459/42960FA622154014BB054703A702ECA6.jpg[/image]

Voronezh was isolated from the rest of the country. Soviet troops in the Caucasus were squeezed into a narrow band of land around Grozny. The Soviets have 41 land units vs 88 German. [image]local://upfiles/23459/F810EB3B83CD493693A6504EF7A016BE.jpg[/image]

November 16 - December 4 1942 Clear skies and sunny weather in the whole USSR for the Germans! [X(] After holding for a year the Soviets abandoned Narva in the Baltic States. The Germans hit hard our units defending the Moscow approaches with multiple air attacks combined with Tigers. Severe damage to several units. At last some reinforcements arrived including 2 Heavy tanks units. General Zhukov was recalled and set his HQ at Gorky taking overall command. Stalingrad is under siege and enemy panzers approached Saratov. Some good news: General Timoshenko was evacuated at the last moment from Baku and reached safety disembarking at Krasnovodsk, on the other side of the Caspian Sea. The USSR has only 36 land units left… A British corps captured Konigsberg in the rear of the German front. Some Allied Naval units entered the Baltic Sea, where only 1 U-Boot remains in active service. [image]local://upfiles/23459/2D61AE6A177447D8A1F0C9F1E03729AA.jpg[/image]

The Canadian tanks captured Aleppo and Syria finally surrendered next turn, but Tripoli is still defended by the Turks. Some additional Allied air units arrived to the Middle East. The British AT advanced cautiously towards Baghdad. German tac bombers retired towards the Caucasus. In the Red Sea the Japanese CA Tone intercepted one of our DDs. Also operating is this area was our old friend U-32. As we had 2 US CVs refitting in Alexandria we blocked the passage towards Suez with another couple of expendable DDs and moved back the fleet near Cyprus. We didn't want Japanese CVs hammering our CVs in port, we had enough with one Pearl Harbor. [image]local://upfiles/23459/3502B9DDDB484ADE86DADBB35F0D9D1C.jpg[/image]

December 18 - January 1 1943 A new year begins. In Europe 4 panzerkorps are attacking our beachheads, at least they are not fighting in the USSR. The Hague and Amsterdam were lost, Hamburg and Konigsberg hold for the time being… The Germans assaulted and destroyed one of the fortifications outside Moscow, the ring is closing around the Capital. A panzerkorps approached Saratov and Stalingrad is still in our hands but not for much longer… [image]local://upfiles/23459/1FEBAC086DE94CB1B4432CD36E74A8E6.jpg[/image]

Astrakan and Baku in the Caspian Sea are under siege. Grozny was lost. Motorized Japanese forces approach the Urals. Soviet morale (77%) improves as the war on the Eastern Front Continues. [image]local://upfiles/23459/77AA87871F07425E955CDC2A54F77AEE.jpg[/image]

Japanese naval forces disembark in Egypt coming from the Red Sea! 2 SNLFs attack Cairo but they loose an Army near the Suez Canal. At least 2 BBs, 3 CVs, 3 subs and other supporting ships are present. They sunk the 3 Allied picket DDs. Another Japanese SNLF unit disembarked are captured El Aden, a bright move, as the Japanese now have an operational port in the area to resupply and refit from. The Turks are still holding Tripoli and Beirut port in Syria, while more Turks were rebased to Adana and Diyarbakir. The US loses the 1st and 2nd Armies in Greece and Istambul.

If 1942 was a hard year for the USSR... 1943 will be even more! Will Stalin survive one more summer? [sm=character0169.gif] [image]local://upfiles/23459/9B90A27348D94957A7F99A11E117BCF7.jpg[/image]

DmitryN -> RE: TAIFUN (Allies) vs DimitryN (Axis) Full game 1939 (10/9/2021 8:28:21 PM)
I want to comment this moment, which in my opinion could totally change the game but did not. Taifun disembarked 3 land units north Europe (2 killed in 2 turns 1 forced to go out with total Axis loss of 0.4 panzer strength) 3 units Greece-Istanbul (all killed with minimal Axis loses) and I don’t know how much but guess at least 10 units in Egypt-Syria. So he had at least 15 or probably more land units with a lot of aviation and tons of Carriers. I was extremely afraid that he will invade Italy and force it to quit the war. I had 2 anti-air, 3 corps, armored train, HQ and 2 garrisons Italian troops in Italy. If Taifun went all in to Italy with 15 land units including tanks with a lot of bombers amphibious strikes he could easily kill Italy even if I send german panzers there. Just take Rome that’s it. BUT he made few different invasions in many places which was easy to block, went Middle East which made no real problem to me at the moment of invasion. So he lost his chance to make sensitive strike when he could do it. I did not expect he will go Egypt and Middle east, but this place was less sensitive than any other. My move with Japan. Actually all Japan fleet was going in Mediterranean to protect Italy. I was just 1-2 turns late with allies taking Suez. My amphibious transports were waiting additional troops to invade India. I decided to send them suiciding in Egypt just to win time for Germans in Turkey. My general strategy is straightforward – all in to kill Russia, so couple of turns for Germans were worth 4 Japan units.
