Status: offline 		I must apologise that the screenshots didn't happen for May/Jun 44. A lot happened but I didn't record most of it. There were a lot of bombing raids over England, many bombing raids over Germany in response, and lots of naval encounters, although no really large encounters, that is no battle went for more than one round before ships lost sight of one another.
There was a big battle in the monsoon in the Solomons. The US lost the North Carolina and Northampton whilst the Japanese lost the Ashigara. Here's the line up prior to the battle:

They didn't have enough units to defend it, and their lack of airpower was going to hurt. All they could do was hope that they survived until the bad weather in Sep/Oct.

They achieved that, but then the storm cleared, and Italian NAVs came out from Victoria in the Seychelles and sank the Prince of Wales.

Significant reinforcements were shipped in and the breakout was contained, albeit with heavy losses. The RN lost the carrier Victorious, although I can't remember how she was sunk. Here are the losses for May/Jun 44:

The Luftwaffe is particularly excited about the new Pfeils - finally a fighter that can reach any part of the United Kingdom and also get to the #4 sea box section!

Status: offline 		With the remaining Soviet forces entrenched behind the Ob River, Guderian and Rommel have two choices - go for the centre or try to work their way around the river from the south. The north isn't really an option due to the swamp which will massively delay moving forces into position. Rather than waste time, the Germans expend an offensive chit right in the centre to crack the line wide open and hopefully ensure that Novosibirsk falls before the onset of winter.

Status: offline 		In Russia the Germans are choosing land impulse after land impulse, trying their utmost to finish off the USSR before the end of the turn. Rommel's latest attack brings them adjacent to Novosibirsk. They have finally reached their target.

Status: offline 		And what does it look like when the Soviet Union turns grey?
Well, it looks like this. The new Soviet home country is Mongolia. They have one Soviet INF that was just on the other side of the border and the Mongol CAV unit. It won't take much for the Japanese or the Germans to remove Mongolia from the scene. The only other surviving Soviet units are two submarines that were forced to rebase from the Japanese Sea to Dutch Harbor. Even now the US Admirals are wondering what to do with these rather useless submarines.

Status: offline 		So this brings this AAR to an end. With the USSR conquered and Japan still relatively strong there seems no way for the Allies to come back. I will be continuing the game to see if the Axis can conquer Spain, take Gibraltar and get the Italian and German fleets together to then invade the UK. If anyone's interested in seeing this please let me know. I can tell you that the Sep/Oct 44 turn was very bloody with an enormous naval battle in the Solomons during which both sides lost many carriers. Anyway, for those that have been watching, thanks for your interest.
Here's global control in dark grey (some editing in photoshop) as of the start of Sep/Oct 1944:
