Winter 1943
Finland Revisited
Svends U-Boats are at it again. Hes got at least nine of them, and every turn they stroll out and wreak havoc amongst my merchant fleet. I really don't have a chance taking them out up close anymore so I consolidated my supply chains to let my destroyers do their thing. Thanks to the Allied damaged glitch (were still playing on 1.033), some stuff Svend damages is never repaired. I'd say I've lost at least 6 fighters to this, and it would be real nice to get that stuff back.
While Fortress Europe remains shut tight, Japan is an entirley diffrent story. Following a joint Russo-UK assualt the Japanese Empire collapsed on all fronts. Russia manged to snag Manchuria, clearly the most important gain. I took Siam, and then used my uncontested air-superority and sub power and damaged four transports. If Japan wants to get any of his ships moving he'll need to remove all transports from the Chinese cost, and even then he might not be able to make it. The Allied Fleets sweep across the Pacific, and while Japan is not aware of where I am (I hope) I am very aware of his postion. Japanese production is now at five.
My main action for the turn was a Finland manuver, in an attempt to remove some pressure from Russia. Using the task force that was already there I reinforced Finland, bringing the garrison up decently high -- at least where Svend doesn't have the muscle to launch a succesful attack this turn. I brought in a lot of Flak units just incase he has some extra airpower hiding. The Task Force is well supplied, and includes; 3 Tanks, 3 Flak, 3 Artillery, and several Infantry -- along with 15 supply. Svend will have to decide if he wants to try and press onward and risk my letting my Northern Army Group sweep across his rear or rellocate some addtional power to the East to keep me checked. Either way its good news for my Russian ally.
I still feel we can save Russia, but wether or not its too late for a victory I cannot tell.
