Round: Late 1941 (Round 4)
Eastern Front:
This turn, the Germans declared war on the USSR. They made a powerful Barbarossa and captured a lot of Russian territories. However, the Russian counter-attack was also strong, capturing most of the territories back. Only the attack on Rostov failed - all units got wiped out.
The Germans moved the minor factory to Romania with their engineers, and formed 2nd Panzer Army in Berlin.
The Soviets took deep defensive positions in their territory, deadzoning multiple areas. They saved 51 IPCs, unfortunately one buck too short for maximum Red Army Conscription that will be coming up next turn.
Mediterranean:
Heavy fighting took place in Africa. The British attacked Alexandria with a large force, trying to weaken the Italian army. However, their rolls were slightly subpar. Both sides lost a lot of units, but eventually, the British had to retreat. The UK purchased more fighters, and they also moved an Elite Infantry to French West Africa using an Air Transport, to reinforce Egypt on a later turn.
The Italians, on their turn, tried to make a risky attack against the weakened Egypt with everything that could reach. However, their rolls were not good enough, so they ended up retreating after one round of combat. Still, they took out 4 inf, while their losses were 3 LCVs, 1 inf, and 1 tank, making good use of the Landing Crafts that absorbed most of the hits. Edit: one more Italian artillery was killed due to a rule oversight.
French forces also reinforced Egypt, strengthening the defense.
The Italian assault against the Middle East has proven to be successful, resulting in the capture of several territories and the British are unable to push them back.
Atlantic:
The Germans purchased three more U-boats this time. The Americans produced four destroyers to reinforce their Atlantic fleet.
Asia:
Japan made successful attacks against the Chinese border territories, capturing most lost territories back. The Chinese then recaptured Yunnan and took defensive positions in the mountains.
The UK forces in India were forced to retreat from China, but are continuing to build up to possibly start a new offensive.
The Japanese factories in China are running at full speed, producing combat units.
Japanese troops continue to march through Siberian territories. The Russians are unable to hold the line and are forced to retreat.
Pacific:
Seeing the American threat coming from the north, the Japanese reinforced SZ 6 with a large fleet. The Americans responded by producing another 3 carriers and 6 submarines in the Pacific. An attempt to capture Iwo Jima with the help of a cruiser failed.
Australian and American submarines have scattered across the Pacific, making it very hard for Japan to start an offensive southward. ANZAC also made a sneaky landing in Formosa, collecting an extra 2 IPCs.
Since their income is now so high, the Australians decided to build an extra factory in Queensland.
Income Totals:
Germany: 47 / 64
Japan: 37 / 45
Italy: 19 / 31
USSR: 25 / 30
US: 52 / 91
China: 6 / 12
UK: 53 / 59
ANZAC: 22 / 32
Axis: 103 / 140
Allies: 158 / 224
