Clear.

Supply raids
Allied losses : 0 MPP
Axis losses : 31 MPP

Germany
We finally sink the CW submarine off Norway, good riddance. German forces take Belgrade, causing the fall of Yugoslavia. To teach them a lesson, we create Croatia. Croatia promptly joins our cause.
Pinsk still holds...

Italy
This turn we take out a Commonwealth army in Africa. We might not win here quickly, but we should win it. Well, having no clue, but maybe the Commonwealth can place units in Egypt? That would be annoying.

Allies
The USSR sends an armoured train to Pinsk, and allow the corps in the city to attack. Neither do any damage, but this city is officially annoying me now! A USSR BB appears and attack the Tirpitz. Bad idea! Damages are 2-6 in our favour.

Purchases
Germany saves 240 MPP.

Reinforcements
None.

Research
Germany finishes Industrial Technology2 and Advanced Tanks2.

Decisions/Events
Nothing.

The UK cannot directly place troops there, but they can use the special hexes in the Southern Atlantic to get units to the Red Sea fast AND (more importantly) they have lots of events giving them troops in the region. Often, they can hold you at El Alamein and the Quatara depression for a LOOONG time.

Just so you know: Pinsk is ALWAYS a pain in the ass! You can get it early with heavy tac bombing etc, but this binds just so many forces at a time when you want to push forward with all you got ...

yeah, I cannot really complain. And yes, I decided to send my planes north to secure Leningrad first. And ofc it does not help that my armies cannot advance on Pinsk in an orderly fashion either. Enemy ZoC+Morale effects+terrain makes it hard to get close to the city.

In Africa, I think what has been a blessing is the Allied attacks. Had they not done those, and just dug in, I doubt I would manage to push as I do right now.

On the other hand I like that the tactical AI did not just throw in the towel, but tried to cut you off and got the Ariete. I really like the AI in this game - though I'm already spoilt and want it to be even better.

Well, the AI is quite good in some aspects, but somewhat lacking in others. I find that it allows itself to be baited a little too easy.

In Africa the main issue I've had is how deadly the Allied artillery has been actually.

We FINALLY take out the last of Tito's partisan units. Not much headway in the USSR, as we are now facing walls of units in most places, but atleast we have brought the Luftwaffe to bear, and we do remove 4-5 units per turn now, so hopefully we will thin out the herd. I hope the infaltion of the Red Army is due to those Siberians, and not from production.

Italy
Suez falls!

Allies
The attacks from the USSR keeps up, and they are now focusing on one unit at a time. That is not good, that increases the chance for losing units, something I can ill afford.

As a suggestion, if you could include the in game date on some of your turns instead of just "turn 32", it would be helpful for some of us newbs that don't equate what date each turn is associated with.

We keep killing USSR units, and we inch foreward a few hexes at a time.

Italy
Those Commonwealth artillery pieces must be commanded by Superman and Captain America... We do get Transjordan to surrender, granting Italy a whopping 16 MPPs of plunder.

Allies
It seems the wind has gone out of the USSR, fewer attacks this turn, and none make any real impact.

Purchases
Italy orders a fighter, and saves 25 MPP, Germany saves their last 53 MPP.

Reinforcements
None.

Research
Germany starts Advanced Aircraft4.
Italy finishes Ground Attack Weapons2.

Decisions/Events
The Allies influence Turkey by 13%.

Concern
My intel shows me US troops heading across the Atlantic, where will they land? My guess is a pretty historic Torch...

Weather
Clear.

Supply raids
Allied losses : 0 MPP
Axis losses : 0 MPP

Germany
This might be the turn that ended the stalemate in the USSR. We kill 7 units, including a VERY annoying fighter, and we also take some key hexes.

Italy
Artillery pieces are gone at last, now the DAK and the Italians part ways.

Allies
YES! The USSR must be running low on units, because where as they would earlier repair wounded units and fill gaps with fresh units, the wounded units now have to fill the gaps in their line. Only a handful of USSR attacks are made, but north of Leningrad, an USSR paratrooper threathens to cut off the entire Finish army. The Fins will have to fall back.

Purchases
Germany buys the XIX Heavy Panzer, as well as 2 diplochits for Turkey, I do not want Turkey to join the Allies.
Italy saves it 204 MPP to buy more aerial units next turn (also, they can only have 3 diplochits in play at any time).

Reinforcements
Germany places the XIV Heavy Panzer outside Lublin.

Research
Both Italy and Germany finishes Production Technology3.

Decisions/Events
Oh oh...
Brazil DoWs us.

Concern
The US landing. Where?

Hi terje - I am enjoying your AAR. Two things:

1. Have you had any rough weather effects affecting your Kriegsmarine or Regia Marina units?

2. A bit of encouragement for you






Thank you

1. yes, not too often but I think the KM has been hit 3 times and the RM 1 time. Not a big deal, although I did not expect the Adriatic to have waves that would damage a BB.

2. Thank you, The Impossible Girl is NEVER wrong


Terje
