AxisAllies
Seems to be another game of Axis & Allies going on. This is for the one I am in...as Japan.
Japan continues it's punishment of the Chinese. They have refused to pay the reparations they agreed to when the Boxer War was ended. They have also refused to punish those that killed and tortured innocent civilians (including many western pastors and businessmen) during that War. They have in fact promoted those very guilty parties.
We captured an airfield and moved north across the river from Shanghai.

RE: AxisAllies
A bit of Déjà vu due to technical difficulties:
Germany: January 1938
Despite an astounding drop in unemployment from 6 million to 1 million in six years, Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist party continues to bolster the Germany economy with infrastructure expansion. January also saw a major annexation of Berlin for industrial growth. Lost in the continued economic success was the dismissal of Field Marshal Werner von Blomberg due to scandal.
Italy: January 1938
Not to be outdone, Benito Mussolini sought to keep pace with Germany's success by investing in industrial growth, albeit with lesser results. Also, El Duce unexpectedly instituted new military doctrines throughout his armed forces, and despite some setbacks and hesitancy from Italian Generals, the reorganization entered the implementation phase with some success.

The Soviet Union continues to clean out the Oligarchs they will never hold sway in the Soviet Union as long as Lenin's treasured memory is not forgotten.

Are we like late Rome, infatuated with past glories, ruled by a complacent, greedy elite, and hopelessly powerless to respond to changing conditions?

RE: AxisAllies
Japan continues to improve it's economy and builds another annex in Nagasaki. The war with China seems to be in a stalemate although the Chinese retreated from the northern airfield we just captured. This month we just exchanged artillery shots with the Chinese. The Chinese sent lots of troops to the sea coast.

RE: AxisAllies
Germany Feb. 1938
Berlin was abuzz with another month of rapid industrial expansion and annexation for infrastructure growth. The advent of the Volkwagon Type 1 "People's Car" is a revolutionary concept, and all the more so given Germany's limitations of oil. A speech for the Fuehrer , in which he named the car Kraft-durch-Freude-Wagen ("Strength Through Joy Car"), was hailed by National Socialist as a key moment in the movement's history. Also, restructuring of the military under new doctrine continued at a blistering pass, leaving one to wonder what is the need for such an overhaul given their limited military?
Italy Feb. 1938
The military's restructure suffered set backs as El Duce changed his mind on certain particulars of his new doctrine and was too busy overseeing Rome's production overhauls and his many political obligations. The breaking ground of a dozen new factories as well as a prolonged visit with Austria and Spain's ambassador's hallmarked an amazing month for Italy, according to El Duce.

RE: AxisAllies
More industrial improvements and another annex to Nagasaki...Nagasaki cannot be improved any further so Hiroshima is next.
Some advances in the North of China but elsewhere the Chinese seem to be massing large number of CONSCRIPTS into service. These are not volunteers but citizens forced to take up arms with inadequate training for what they are about to face. We are getting so many volunteers that we cannot train them fast enough and are forced to turn some of them away until a later time. Some of these volunteers have committed war crimes which is against our disciplinary rules so we have adjusted our training to include training on behavior disciplines. Our front-line units are being reminded of behavior rules.

RE: AxisAllies
Germany March 1938
International inspectors are questioning the designations on German divisions to be misleading at best, and many leaders suspect the Treaty of Versailles is being broken wholesale. Yet despite the outcry, famous American car maker Henry Ford is quoted saying in the Times that "Berlin's growth makes it the jewel of the world in both
architecture and innovation."
Italy March 1938
El Duce had two meetings with Spanish dictator Franco, which kept him out of his country for extended periods in March. Surprisingly, production and constructions schedules exceeded expectations and Rome continued it's expansion.

RE: AxisAllies
China is trying to fight a war and modernize at the same time. Set backs in the north keep happening but then Chiang Kia Shek never trusted Mao anyway and suspects he is losing on purpose.
Favoritism is alive and well here.
RE: AxisAllies
Japan continues to fight China....another small advance in the North. Continued artillery attacks in other areas.
Another improvement in my economy and Hiroshima gets an annex.

RE: AxisAllies
23rd of April 1938
The Soviet economy advances in leaps and bounds as the fervour of the Soviet peoples channelled by our great father Joseph Stalin continues to grow. Pilots for the Red Army in training many more are needed to pilot the planes rolling of the production lines.

RE: AxisAllies
Germany April-May 1938
Adolf Hitler made an unexpected trip to Finland in light of Mannerheim's recent policies reflecting the gross overtures of France. Mannerheim and Hitler spent a great deal of time in conversation with some success and leeway given to Hitler's demands. Also, Germany's industrial progress expanded into Munich and an entire sector on the outskirts of Berlin unveiled a state of the art tractor factory that appears to be unlike any other in Europe.
Italy April-May 1938
El Duce spent most of March and April having intense meetings with German and Austrian officials and brokered a surprising pact between Austria and Italy. Hailed as a stroke of brilliance by El Duce, the influx of trade and political capital was immediately felt in Italy, and even El Duce's staunchest critics were silent.

RE: AxisAllies
China had a fleeting moment of victory as massed artillery cut up advancing Japanese troops the follow on air raid just added icing to the cake. And again Communist forces were forced to retreat. The alliance doesn't seem to strong with constant set backs on the communist front.

I PM'd him a couple of days ago... no word. I didn't know he lived there. Time to pray. What a horrible event... man, people are insane.
RE: AxisAllies
Guys...I'm fine and I don't live in Nevada.
I live in Cornville Arizona...more than a hundred miles from Las Vegas Nevada (Sin City). Cornville is south west of Sedona and Flagstaff.
And the reason I have not been using my email system is computer related problems with my ISP...their cable was cut by construction crew and they had to patch it. And other uploading problems--still not resolved. Been thinking of changing ISP but have VERY FEW options out here in country area (very rural--coyotes outnumber humans).
