The Kwantung Army has performed most excellently. Its General has returned to Tokyo to be received by the Emperor himself & awarded for completing our operations in China. All of our objectives have been secured & the Chinese army has been all but annihilated.

Further operations will be limited to airstrikes against any attempts to re-raise an army in any of the unoccupied territories - freeing up the majority of our armed forces for operations in other theaters.

Now all depends on agreeing to an acceptable timetable.....

We call it "Operation Red Fury"

Winston's mama always told him the best defense was a good offense so the Allies decided to land in extremely undermanned Norway...

Our stillborn Barbarrossa is now a shambles. The Red Army winter counteroffensive has shattered our lines & has made strategic redeployments mandatory. Field Marshal Manstein staged a brilliant counterattack against the Soviet spearheads in Eastern Poland, stablizing the line somewhat.

For the moment, we are on the defensive & will construct our lines accordingly. The Western Allies are still committed to holding Southern Italy & we will continue to hold them there. The future is grim, while the sun rises in the East.....

PS - can't post an image at the moment - need to shrink the file somewhat.

We sent our bombers to annihilate the remaining Chinese forces & were successful in eliminating one of two remaining regular Chinese units. We continue our redeployment and should conduct future operations later this year.

Uncle Joe is pleased. Operation Red Fury stopped the Germans cold, and now the Dictator demands more!!! Vasilevsky and Zhukov advise caution, and prevail upon Stalin to fortify the lines by taking back territories in the south where the Germans retreated, and reinforcing other areas. Stalin reluctantly agrees. The Germans have a massive amount of units in construction, but, then again, so does the Rodina, and the Summer of 43 is shaping up to be a titanic struggle on the borders.

We promoted Rokossovksy to command of the newly created Odessa Front and have high hopes for future successes in this area.

Nothing much going on. Lend Lease to the Soviet Union was not an option this turn because of winter.

I attacked the Italian fleet with airpower in the Adriatic and sunk a couple of transports.

I attacked Denmark with airpower and damaged an artillery and a Stuka.

Once again, I built lots of supply and researched a lot. ( This is becoming a very familiar theme!!! )

China -

Nothing

We hope to be able to fight off our enemies for the time being. Reinforcements are being rushed to the Southern & Eastern Fronts in hopes of forestalling offensive actions by our enemies. It is unknown how long we can maintain our lines.....

The Japan Army Air Force completed its Chinese mission this season - eliminating all remaining Chinese forces (both regular & irregular) in the country. It has been deemed safe to begin the rapid transfer of Japanese colonists to the continent.

The navy has presented us with some ambitious plans for some future operations. We move towards decisive action.

With only 26 units of Supply, we didn't do much. We took Odessa (abandoned by retreating Germans), then massed everything to hammer and retake East Poland.

The borders are strong, and since our erstwhile allies see fit to relax in sunny Italy, we decided to build our own supply. Stalin wants to celebrate Christmas in Berlin.

Not much happening again. The u-boat menace has dropped drastically. A few transports are sunk every now and then but nothing that can't be made good in our shipyards.

That little whining meglomanic Stalin has been screaming for about half a year for supplies so we sent him some. I hope that shuts him up for a while.

Our troops in Southern Italy are working on their tans and causing havoc at the local bars. We are content at the moment to tie up German manpower that is sorely needed on the Russian front. Also, to be honest I am spread pretty thin when it comes to manpower and just can't afford to beef up the Italian landing enough to go on the offensive.

Hopefully the Soviets will be able to put the 60+ supply I sent them this turn to good use destroying German troops during the next turn.

Japan is another story altogether. The Chinese are practically out of the war. Becket needs to watch his back in the Soviet Union and India is extremely undermanned.

On the good side. Once the US enters the war I will have plenty of fresh troops available to deploy around the globe.

Uncle Joe is very happy. He says not to listen to Winston, we have no designs on holding territory after the war. See you at Yalta!

Our successes at the front have been few and far between as of late. Our U-Boats moved into the Atlantic once more, inflicting some harm on the Western Allies supply lines. On the Eastern Front, the decision has been made to abandon East Prussia to shorten our defensive line. An air attack against Eastern Poland was successful in destroying several Red Army ground units - but it is only a matter of time unless the course of the war can be changed.

BANZAI!!!!!!

With the Emperor's blessing our forces have smashed the Western Allies positions in the Pacific. Units from the victorious Kwantung Army, rested from their Chinese campaign, captured Hawaii after the glorious Kido Butai smashed the ground defenses. The US Pacific Fleet was scuttled at dock - without a shot fired.

Our troops were invited into Siam, while moving against resource-rich areas in the East Indies. We have taken the plunge & will emerge victorious!!!!

I'll be upset if "Air" units can destroy ground units by themselves. This is one of the Big Problems with Battlefront's Strategic Command.

Rokossovky's Odessa Front secures a spectacular success, taking Romania and its three factories. The dagger of the Workers and Peasants Red Army is now poised directly into the heart of the Hitlerite empire.

The Germans still have formiddable forces, and more in production, but not enough to save them!

Now that the U.S. part of the WA is unfrozen we hope to teach those Japanese now lounging in Hawaii an extremely hard lesson. The remains of our Pacific fleet has consolidated near the Panama canal. From here we can threaten Hawaii and react to any incursions towards Australia. Paullus's capture of Hawaii definitely took me by surprise but he had to burn an awful lot of supply to do it.

We sent 20+ supply to SU to help them in their struggle.

We attacked the Italian fleet in the Adriatic. Sank a few ships and forced the rest into port.

Next goal on our agenda is to clean up the Med and start attacking the soft German underbelly.





China -

Nothing

Soviet forces drove the Germans out of East Poland and took German territory in Austria, as well as undefended Bulgaria. The writing is on the wall.

We threw everything we had in the Pacific against the Japanese fleet loitering off Hawaii. The results ( as well as a look at some battle detail information is shown below ).

It wasn't as clearcut a victory as I had hoped. Losing the carrier air hurts because I have to replace it before I can take on the fighter's he has based in Hawaii. He has very little supply there ( only 1 ) so he will have a penalty on him after the first attack.


After the battle and other movement I was shocked to see the WA down to only 35 supply. Sorry Uncle Joe but the well was dry for lend lease this time.

Builds - Supply, Supply, supply. Did I forget to mention I built some supply?

The Russian Counteroffensive has bitten deep into Reich territory. We mustered our troops & launched a counterattack against the Red Army in Hungary. We were successful in clearing the country of the Soviet forces, but at heavy cost.

We were able to reinforce our positions in Central Europe, at the expense of opening up holes in our Balkan defenses. Our industries continue to hum along, producing new forces to throw into the fray. With luck and Soviet over-extension - we hope to last through the year.

A vicious naval battle was fought off the coast of Hawaii last season. Our carrier forces have withdrawn to the homeland to regroup. Our defenses in Hawaii are still firm & it will take quite a committment of American forces to take them back.

In the SRA, we captured the rest of the Phillipines & moved into New Guinea as well.

All quiet on the Chinese Front.....
