Turn 17. May/June 1942. Control.

Japan has nearly been eradicated from China so I was surprised to see so much "red" in China, especially in the north next to Mongolia and Manchuria.

Turn 17. May/June 1942. Phantom Control.

This explains all the red in northern China. Most of that red is Japanese control of desert. And none of that red is in cities or on rail lines. So, it's phantom control.

Turn 17. May/June 1942. Land Combat. communist Chinese.

The communist Chinese handed the Japanese army in China a major defeat this turn, which included the loss, or if you're Chinese the liberation, of Shanghai.

The USSR should try to divert some units towards Persia and Iraq out of the Far East. The capture of those countries gives them a lot of oil. It's amazing how many oil the USSR will burn during late war, so it's more than welcome. And there is no way any Axis power can do anything about it...

Good point. In my previous AAR (#2 above), I actually ran out of oil with the CW, so I've seen how much oil a big war machine can use per turn.

As the Soviet player, I'll "quietly" start a building in that theater and strike when the fighting season in Eastern Europe has pasted, assuming I have the necessary forces in place for invading Persia and Iraq.

Turn 18. Jul/Aug 1942.

Victory Points (VPs)

Faction, VPs-Bid
Euro-Axis, +20
Japan, -2
Western Allies, -12
USSR, -7
China, 0

The Euro-Axis faction (i.e., Germany and Italy) still have a commanding lead in this game.

This turn lasted 9 impulses with the axis moving both first and last. The allies won the first roll for the initiative, but the axis demanded a reroll and won.

The "cold-war" between Germany and the Soviet Union continued. That is, these two countries are still neutral with each other.

Turn 18. July/August 1942. Japan. Northern China. China Sea.

Both MacArthur and Nimitz disembark in Nagasaki, Japan on impulse after the successful American landing there. Unlike in real life, there's no command conflict between their two HQs.

Turn 18. July/August 1942. Canton, China. Hong Kong.

Though the Chinese Nationalist do, and have had for a while, the Japanese army in southern China bottled up in Canton and in Hong Kong, unlike the communist, the Nationalist can't muster good enough odds to dislodge them.

I am playing with Chinese attack weakness, which only impacts the Nationalist.

Turn 18. Jul/Aug 1942. South China Sea.

With USA attention turned to Japan and to the China Sea, the IJN was able to reestablish itself and two convoy lines in the South China Sea. However, this "reestablishment" didn't go unnoticed by the USA, who has an overwhelming naval and air force docked in Manila in the Philippines. Also, the CW noticed and has docked battleships and cruisers in Borneo and Sarawak.

Turn 18. Jul/Aug 1942. Japan, Final Production.

The reestablishment of these two convoy routes and the invasion of Japan by the USA resulted in a significant increase in Japanese production from 4 BPs last turn to 9 BPs this turn. Still, a low production compared to most all of the major belligerents.

Note that Japan lost 1 oil point due to a partisan taking control of the Palembang oil fields in the Dutch East Indies.

Turn 18. Jul/Aug 1942. Germany, Italy, Final Production.

CW and USA strategic bombing took a significant toll on both Germany's and, especially, Italy's war production.

Turn 18. Jul/Aug 1942. Western Front.

In addition to transferring ground forces from east to west the "cold" war with the Soviets is also allowing the Germans to move fighters to west and contest allied strategic bombing raids. Luftwaffe fighters did have some success at stopping and even downing allied strategic bombers. However, the USA and CW have many more bombers than does Luftwaffe have in fighters. And when raids were, or could have been contested, the allies flew to targets within escort range of allied fighters.

Turn 18. Jul/Aug 1942. Italy. Western Med.

The axis also continue to build up their defenses in Italy.

The USA and CW have significant ground forces in this the Med, and in England too. The problem is that the allies don't have the amphibious capacity right now to force a major landing either here (in the Med against Italy) or in France.

In the Med, North Africa theater alone the allies have five HQ units (Wavel in Tripoli, Alexander in Malta, Gort in Gibratar, Clark in Bone (Algeria) and Ensenhower in Oran). Also, both allies have significant ground forces in both area. Both more HQ and land forces are needed in the Pacific now that the USA had established itself in the Japanese home islands.

With a "cold war" with Germany, the Soviets look to other opportunities. Increasing their oil for example.

Turn 19. Sep/Oct 1942. The Weather!

Despite the horribly weather this turn, the allies had a fairly good turn at sea especially in the Pacific. However, on land, the weather frustrate the allies to including slowing the USA down in Japan, hampering the Soviet invasions of Iraq and Persia and thwarting the CW amphibious invasion of Sardinia.

This turn lasted 7 impulses with the allies moving both first and last. The allies won the initiate on a re-roll.

19. Sep/Oct 1942. Victory Points.

The Soviet invasions of Persian and Iraq resulted, for now, in the Germans gaining 2 additional victory points (Baghdad and Teheran), which were previously allocated to the Soviets and CW, respectively.

Faction, Victory Points, VPs - Bid

Euro-Axis, 22, +22
Japan, 7, -2
China, 1, 0
Western Allies, 29, -13
USSR, 7, -8

Turn 19. Sep/Oct 1942. Destroyed and Repair Pools.

The USN supported by the RN in the South China and China Seas sunk 4 IJN aircraft carriers. These 4 carriers were all the carriers that Japan had on the board.
