My problem is the units in the north have a long way to retreat and they have no transport for their anti tank guns so I am building horses asap to send them . Also the engineer unit needed to build the defenses will take 2 months to get there. So its going to be dicey trying to get this done without losing those units.

I am starting to build a Siberian Army to counter attack with but it will take months to get it built. But with the new defensive posistions I should have the time. Russia has a solid air-force and a good artillery force so I am in very good shape there.

There are three Siberian units already on the front lines and maybe I can withdraw them and add them to the 1st Shock Army when winter is over.

The situation in the south is interesting. Ezto did well cutting off the Germans from the oil fields but with the bridge blown at Astrakhan I cant keep my units in supply to exploit the axis weakness here. So I am pulling engineer units back to try and get that bridge repaired in time to hold the axis off from that oil.

Sevastopol is holding on but i honestly don't know how long it can. A lot depends on how much the Germans want it I guess.
I would love to hold on to the south but if I cant its expendable. As long as I can hold the line in the north I can build up and retake all that I have lost.

China.

Things looked really bleak here and still do. However there is a small ray of hope. The Japanese appear to be gravely short of supply, All my scouting shows them to be all but starving. In fact I have moved units east to try a small counter attack and see if I can push them back some. If the west can help by taking out all the supply centers they can then maybe just maybe China can hold on.
My partisans are running rampant through the country side and really hurting Japans supply structure.
Japans supply situation is borderline critical when everything is going good so there is chance that the Level Bombers in India can tip the balance if they can knock out 1 supply center per turn.
This will be very very interesting because China is in as bad a situation as you could expect to find. It they can hold on it will be a major victory.

one of my problems is that in India I was expecting an invasion and had built extremely strong defenses and now I need offenses and am having to build them. Japan caught me with my pants down and I am scrambling to recover.

But with the factory there in India I am building 3 level bombers per turn and soon will have a large bomber force to hit japan with.

In India we have had some success the last turn we knocked out Hanoi with our LB's and this turn we knocked out Manila.
So thats two supply centers out in two turns and next turn I will have 6 LB-I and 6 LB-II. I will try to take out 2 supply centers in one turn.
If i can keep taking them out it will have to effect japans supply situation. I am making 3 LB-II a turn in India now.

Russia
starting to pull my forces back a little. I really hate to lose Moscow but I only had partisans pop on 1 turn in winter and I think more will pop if moscow is lost. Plus I need to consolidate my lines.

still holding on, as you can see the Japanese troops are really short of supply. I hope my bombing campaign will succeed.

Winter is finally over but it really took its toll on the west. I do not understand why I got hit as hard as I did since I always had plenty of supply but oh well.

In France I am in a bind the Germans have recovered from the effects of winter faster than i am and they pounded me. It will be another turn or two before I can really stabilize the situation. I should be able to hold on long enough for it to become a war of attrition. once I get my Battle line resupplied I can move it down and bombard those German units back from Bordeaux.

Right now all I can really produce is supply and PP and will be this way for at least two more turns. so my units there are on their own until then.

In North Africa we have continued with our advance and cut off all Axis units near Tobruk. The Royal Navy has started its siege of Tripoli.

In Thailand my invasion is going very well, it seems I was right in my conclusion that Japan had so much in China that he was weak elsewhere and we advanced and took Bangkok right away.

Our Bombing campaign has been successful, so far we have knocked out 2 supply centers completely and took another down to 50%. Our bomber fleet continues to grow and we should be able to keep hurting japans ability to stay supplied.

Russia

As much as we hated to we withdrew from Moscow. Its hard to leave a stable defesive line that could have held for a couple more turns at least maybe longer.
But this way we can consolidate our lines and instead of spending all our resources keeping all those units in reinforcements on such a long front we can start to build an offensive army to counter attack with.

China

we are still holding on. We finally got infantry-II and if we can hold on long enough to get supply to upgrade all our vetran troops we will be in much better shape. His arty will kill a lot less defenders.

also he appears to be showing signs that his supply situation is still critical even with winter over.

so we will see how this turns out.

well its been 2 turns since I posted last. things got real tense in france for a turn with my supply situation and I lost about 6 FT-III and a couple dive bombers. And he was knocking on the door but I moved some fresh units up from the southwest where they where out of the winter effects and counterattacked across the river and hammered him pretty good. He had moved his arty unit up to there to hit my airfield and I destroyed it except for 1 arty. It was a nice counter attack and he had to pull his surviving units back and he replaced them with a light armor unit which is no threat to me.
My supply situation should have been fixed this turn but I had 2 BB-III and 2CA-III pop which sucked my supply down again. However I finally had enough PP to get CV-III and I was able to stop making that 50PP a turn and am just making supply which will fix my supply and I will have enough to start upgrading my carriers.
next turn I will be able to really start pumping units into Bordeaux and I hope to have pushed him back some by winter.
I parked a BB-II and a couple CA-II in Bordeaux to make sure he doesn't do any air strikes while my air-force is recovering.

we are over the Hump now here and things will start to turn around.

In North Africa things are going well also.
The Royal Navy has bombarded Tripoli until the City is in ruins. he wont be getting any supply from it. Wavell has advanced nicely and in two turns at the most he will be besieging the city then my navy can move to the pacific to help with Japan.
I will also be sending Wavell and his army to India to help.

The Pacific

My bombing campaign is going very well, out of 6 supply centers in the south Pacific he has 1.5 operational. Next turn I will take out the last one and then go back and hit the ones that are repairing themselves. I have 21 Level Bomber-II and 6 level bomber-I in theater now. I have built a new airfield in australia to allow my bombers from the USA to reach the south Pacific supply centers.

these are the Supply centers that I am targeting the only one that is 100% is Borneo and I will attack it next turn. He has installed some flak in some places but I only lost 1 bomber I think, maybe two.

Also notice that he has most of his navy off shore of bangkok. I counted 10 Carriers in 1 fleet and around 16 DD with 10 or 11 BB. all of them show low readiness but I cant trust that 100%.
But what I think he is doing is keeping his fleets at sea and together to keep his army supplied so it can take Chunking.
Make no mistake about it. I am hurting his supply in a big way and while I may not can save china it will still have a big effect on him the rest of the game. What good are huge fleets if they have no supply.
Its just a shame I wasn't able to do this during the winter more but if I can keep it up till this coming winter he will be in a really bad way.
as it is I believe his naval operations will be severely limited.

Russia

Its a good thing I pulled back when I did because he slammed into me HARD and I am in a very tense situation right now. Its all I can do to hold on. I need two turns to stabilize my defensive posistions and he already destroyed my defenses i had built at Gorky so i had to fall back into the city and abandon my last fortification.
I lost around a 100 infantry and some other units and only killed about 50 of his infantry. He dropped para troopers behind my lines to cut off supplies but I think I have them contained. My worry is he will be able to build a bridge and get across the river before i can get all my units in place.

The situation here is critical.

in the south its not looking good either at least not for Sevastopol. It will most likely fall next turn, I will be very surprised if it doesn't. Stalingrad is in a tight spot also. But I counter attacked with my air-force and artillery and gave his units a bloody nose.
My supply took me an additional turn to get sorted out while Germany was able to advance and attack the first turn.

I may lose the whole south.

Chunking is still holding on but it really looks bad.
it will be interesting to see how the partisans spawn and if china can come back if it is lost.

well its been a couple turns since i last posted and things have not gone well for me at all.

western Europe still holds on but china is gone except for some partisans that pop. And I really messed up in Russia and it became a disaster.
whats left of my army from Moscow is now running for its life to Siberia.
brilliant play by grumpy and two simple mistakes by me and everything collapsed.

first he made a very fast move and got across the river before I could put a unit there.
my mistake was that the turn before I didnt move a unit to that square because one wouldnt reach. All i needed to do was transfer a AT gun out of the unit and it would have reached just fine. I was able to push him back to the one square in question but he had already built a bridge.

my second mistake was that I attacked with my air-force and didn't move it back to kazhan first so i wound up with it stuck in Gorky.
