The end of Late 1945 has come.

The outcome of the War is unpredictable at this point.

• The Soviet Union’s economy is suffering from the loss of multiple territories. Both the Japanese and German Armed Forces are pushing forward towards Moscow.
  The Soviets must hold out - and maybe even launch small scale attacks against the weakest points in the Axis frontlines.
• Germany is an enormous War Machine.
  The build up of Germany’s Waffen-SS Armies is once again completed - and these Waffen-SS Armies are the backbone of the German Army.
  On the Eastern Front, German units are still fighting the Soviets - and no decisive blow has yet been accomplished. But slowly, the Soviets are being pushed back towards their Capital, Moscow.
  In the South and the West, German troops are exposed to continous attacks from strong Allied Forces.
• Japanese troops have captured China and invaded USSR. And the fight against the British troops from India is still ongoing.
  In the Pacific, the Allies are jumping from one island to another - and there is no way to stop them at this point.
  Japan must consider it’s Naval Strategy and try to outmaneuver & destroy parts of the Allied Fleets.
• United States units are on the offensive on all fronts. The Mass Production of ships, planes and tanks is beginning to influence the balance of the War.
• United Kingdom is attacking the Japanese units in Asia & the Pacific - securing the Middle East - and building up for a renewed offensive in Western Europe.

Since Early 1943, both the Axis and the Allies have launched Massive Offensive Operations with loss in men and materiel on an immense scale.

Now, at the doorstep to Early 1946, the War is entering its final stage.
The outcome hangs in the balance - and it all depends on the Overall Strategy on both sides.

Truely, this is a Highly Balanced War - a War of Attrition.
