Exciting! The amount of units in some territories and sea zones is both astonishing and astounding. How can you tell which units are in which territory/sea zone? I’m curious.
Chareles de Gaul Neutrals activated for looks. Not just a bunch of Infantry lol

Still can’t believe that map. How did you get it anyway?
The latest update on your game report is very interesting.
How many Tank units and Infantry does the Soviet Union have in total - including those in their Armies ?
How many Air units does Germany have in total - and how many of those Air units are supporting the ground troops on the Eastern Front?
@the-captain currently the soviets have 4 Tanks in Bryansk in 2 Corps with 1 Mech each as part of Army Group 1. There are 3 tanks in moscow which have Formed 3rd Corps.
Total russian Infantry is 49. There are also 4 Elite Inf and 3 Paras.
Germany has 4 Ftrs 2 Tacs and 2 Bmbrs. 2 Ftrs and 1 tac in W Ger and the 2 Bmbrs in S France are capable of supporting the E front.
I’m about halfway through report. I’ll post the rest directly. Actually I’ll post through USA now as my machine has been crashing a lot lately.
New Report for @VictoryFirst s and my game.

Global 1943, No. 5 Game Report: Round Late 1945:
This is the first post in the Global 1943 No. 5 Game Report.
Players:
Axis: The Captain
Allies: Butch Cassidy
Germany:
In Early 1943, Germany launched only a few small scale attacks in the Atlantic against the Royal Navy.
During Non-Combat Movement Germany started to re-organize the combat formations on the Eastern Front and in Europe.
The German Africa Corps in Tunesia was evacuated and transported to Greece and Eastern Europe in preparation for a German Take Over Of Italy in Late 1943.
From Late 1943 until Late 1944, German units on the Eastern Front were under attack from Soviet forces - and gradually withdrew their combat units along the entire Eastern Front.
Meanwhile, re-inforcements were moved from Germany to the Eastern Front in preparation for a massive counter attack against the Soviets.
During the same period, Germany lanched an offensive campaign against Egypt and the Middle East - by Paratrooper units, Panzer units and Infantry units.
This campaign was supported by the German 3rd Panzer Army which was flown in by German Air Transport units.
The campaign in the Middle East was succesfully carried out by the Germans - and resulted in a massive increase in IPC Bonus Income, since Germany collects both the Italian Bonus Income as well as the German Bonus Income for controlling Iraq, Persia and North West Persia.
Soviet Union:
From Early 1943 the Soviets mass produced Tank units. This Tank mass production was continued until Early 1945.
In Late 1944 the Soviet 1st Army Group together with 42 other combat units were eliminated on the Eastern Front in the Battle of Belarus.
Germany attacked from the north with Army Group North - and from the south with Army Group South.
The German attack was launched as a massive Pincer Maneuver - both German Army Groups were massively supported by Waffen-SS units, Panzer units and Infantry units.
After the elimination of the Soviet forces, the Soviets were forced to withdraw their remaning combat formations on the entire Eastern Front.
In Early 1946 the Soviet capital Moscow is in the frontline, and the Soviet economy was significantly reduced.
Japan:
The Imperial Japanese Army was fighting desperately against an overwhelming number of Allied units in China.
The battle of the islands in the Pacific waved back and forth - wearing down both the Japanese and Allied troops and Transports.
By Late 1945 the Japanese Army succeeded in eliminating a large UK Combat Formation in China - and by Early 1946 advanced into Burma with strong Tank Formations - preparing for the Battle of India.
United States:
The Americans launched multiple attacks in the Pacific - and prepared for an invasion of mainland Europe.
In Late 1944, the first US invasion of Normandy took place.
The Battle of Normandy waved back and forth, as German counter attacks continued to re-capture Normandy.
By Late 1946, US forces succeeded in capturing Western Germany.
At the same time, US forces were under extreme pressure from the Imperial Japanese Navy and Army in the Pacific Theatre.
United Kingdom:
Apart from a few succesfull attacks against Holland/Belgium and China, United Kingdom was fighting a desperate battle against both German forces in Africa and the Middle East as well as the Japanese Army in Asia.
By Early 1946 United Kingdom forces were beginning to collapse in Asia, Norway, Holland/Belgium and Egypt.
India is in the frontline by Late 1946 - and most islands in the Pacific are either under Japanese control - or will most likely fall into Japanese hands by Early 1947.
These pictures show the situation by Late 1946:
As the Expanded National Production Chart shows the Axis have the upper hand economically.
Note:
After the US invasion of Western Germany, the US Transport fleet in SZ 91 is left alone - threatened by German Wolf Packs in the M. Ocean.
There are no Allied units available to continue the attack after the coming German counter attack against the Allied forces in Western Germany.
We’ll release the next chapter in this Game Report when Germany have completed their turn in Early 1947.
Finally a game where the Axis are winning! As expected, you were the Axis. You really are unbeatable :) .
Global 1943, No. 5 Game Report: Round Early 1947:
This is the second and last post in the Global 1943 No. 5 Game Report.
Players:
Axis: The Captain
Allies: Butch Cassidy
Germany:
In Early 1947, Germany launches massive attacks on all fronts, including the Atlantic, where German U-Boat Wolf Packs destroy the vital US Transport Fleet and threatens the US Atlantic Naval Task Force.
In Europe, Germany re-captures Norway, Normandy and Western Germany.
On the Eastern Front German Wehrmacht units supported by Waffen-SS and Luftwaffe units capture multiple territories - and can by now almost close the circle around Moscow.
In the Middle East and Africa, German units take control of the last vital territories that bring the German IPC Bonus Income through the roof.
German purchase in Early 1947:
After Germany’s Combat Movement, Non-Combat Movement and Place New Units phases:
With the German 3rd Panzer Army in Egypt, strong German forces in the Middle East, Army Group South stationed in Caucasus, Leningrad secured from any Allied breakthrough, all of Europe soon under German control - and the Second Battle of the Atlantic turning out in German favor - Germany collects 142 IPC.
With no prospect of any Military breakthrough, the Allies surrender to the Axis in Early 1947.
Nice. Looks like Germany finally reached the A-A line after all.
Out of curiosity, when was the last time you lost this game (by “this”, I mean the game with your house rules).
Glad the Axis finally won.
The next Global 1943 game begins Sunday 14th May.
Players:
Allies: Butch Cassidy
Axis: The Captain
