Status: offline 		And finally global control at the start of Sep/Oct 1943. Its true that in a two-player game any Allied player who'd made that many stuff-ups and gotten into this position would probably have thrown in the towel now. But I'm finding it fun to keep going and to see how it plays out, improbable and unbelievable though it may seem. At this point I'm thinking that the Allies' best hope might be to try to take out Japan, which isn't really doing that well.

Status: offline 		Seeing the large amount of reinforcements just arrived for the Kriegsmarine, the RN with some USN help have prepared a little surprise party for the Germans in the North Sea. There's only one problem; the weather has turned foul. With no advantage in the air, the now massive German fleet puts to sea. They decide to send the subs in also, and overwhelm the British fleet.

Status: offline 		The mistake I made here was in increasing the column; the Germans should have gone for 'choose target'.
Nonetheless the damage bill is extensive. The Portuguese destroyer flotilla, which had only just entered the war, is summarily blown out of the water, as are the Kenya and Vincennes, with two other RN cruisers damaged.

Unsurprisingly the RN flees the North Sea.

Status: offline 		Both sides send every aircraft they can for ground support.
But the green American pilots are no match for the veteran Axis pilots (OK just making up excuses here) and they are all blown out of the sky, for the loss of two Axis planes. The US forces get no ground support but the Italian troops get Stukas aplenty

Status: offline 		The Germans also built an offensive chit, and they use it on a super-combined impulse; it is clear weather everywhere and that might be the last for some time, so it seems like a good idea.
In the North Sea, transports loaded with the Wehrmacht's Marine Corps put to sea. What are they planning?
