Well I just got burned on America’s 30 min turn report, so take a bit to get back into it :)
Uncle Sam would go with a heavy Army buy, as well as a AB for Espana.
Strat Bmbrs would do 17 Damage to the N Italy Fctry. No Interceptors would rise to challenge the 5 Ftr Escorts and the AA Guns would all miss their targets.
Small battles would take place across W EUR and the Pacific. US Naval Forces would be concentrated in 110. Large numbers of Army Air Corps would be based in Spain.
The Java TF would move to 39 off India, with major Air assets landing in India.
The Hawaiian JPN DD would be sunk but the Islands remain under JPN control. TF 7 splits, with the majority going to 3 SZ off Kamchatka, the others to the Canadian West Coast.
There are 9 Trprts in 101 off the East Coast.
China continues to struggle for Freedom. Their resolve remains strong.
Well the above isn’t as good as what I wrote earlier but whatever lol
UK buys 2 Trprts and some Army. They save 20 bucks.

Then 20 is deleted. I’m not sure why.

I will have to check the game thread as this makes no sense to me.
OK. It was for the India Fctry. I didn’t realize Victory was still with us at this point :)

Major combat takes place in Greece

The Reich would prevail in a close fought battle. HOL and Iraq battles would see the British victorious. The Indian Army would once again move into Burma in Force.
UK would reinforce the Russians in Turkey and produce Tanks out of their Egypt Fctry.
Italians are looking forward to their arrival in US prison camps.
ANZC would produce Ships for their Navy and give battle to the JPN Escort and Trprt off Celebes with a SS and Air attack. The attack would succeed but with heavy losses. A lone Ftr would be left after the intense combat.
Their Aircraft Carriers would join the Americans in 39, with another supporting US Ships off Johnston Island.

Late 1945
The Reich purchases another Panzer Army, as well as moving the W GER Fctry underground and upgrading it. Infantry, Paras and a Hvy Bmbr also deploy.
The Type XXI would begin a new phase of the U-boat war by getting a hit on a Hvy BB in 110. W EUR would see massive counterattacks supported heavily by the Luftwaffe.
Novgorod would be taken in force with 1st Panzer and 1st SS. A UK Trprt is sunk off Greece.
1st SS Pnzr would move to W GER and 2nd Pnzr and 2nd and 3rd SS to Romania.
The Scandanavian Army moves to Norway.
The Soviets would invest in Total War Tanks and small combats would take place on their European Front. Central Asia and Western China would also see combat, with Sikang seeing a moderate clash of Forces.
The Moscow Army moves to Bryansk.
Japanese Demolition charges are placed at the Bases in Hawaii. Support Ships are launched for the Navy, with the rest of their resources going to the Army.
Major battle takes place in Sikang.

Nippon would win a costly fight.
Screenshot from 2025-10-22 19-59-14.png
Closely matched Forces would faceoff in Timguska and Siberia. Java, Celebes and DNG would also see combat. Japan would prevail in all battles.
IJN would be dispersed off the above SW Pacific Islands, while the PHI’s would see the greatest concentration of Naval assets.
The IJA would be concentrated in Kweichow preparing for potential battle against the British Indian Army in Burma.
Uncle Sam would go with a heavy Naval buy that would include 2 CVs and 2 CAs, along with 4 Total War Ftrs. I don’t normally see Cruisers built in our small play group, but they do have value at 9 bucks in The Capatain’s mod. Especially if you plan on large Amphibous attacks that can’t be blocked by bombard. They still hit at a 3 regardless :)
W EUR TTys would change hands again. US Naval Ftrs would canopen for the British in Shan State, albeit at the loss off a Ftr. They’re only 6 bucks though and Crockett learned early the risk reward of using them in battle.
Siberia would see the largest battle and USA would win easily. Portugal would fall to an Amphibous landing with heavy Armor support.
There are a large number of USN Ships scattered throughout the North Pacific. The TF off India moves to Singapore and is directly challenging IJN units in the PHIs.
New Ships continue to flood into the Pacific. The Atlantic Fleet remains in 110.
China hopes their new best friends the British can liberate some territory, as the Soviets are having trouble defending their own :)
UK buys Tanks and Mech Inf. There would be a correction on the Mechs, as Crockett didn’t realize he couldn’t do Total War builds in India.
Still, the 5 Mech would be a good purchase.
A small battle would succeed in Greece and the Indian Army would move into Yunnan in strength.
I may have missed something with a edit in Iraq as the 2 Tanks didn’t move, no reason or well not a good one that I can see :) they didn’t move. It may have been changed in the future or just been missed.
It happens in a complex game like this :) or it’s part of crockett’s master plan :)
At any rate, British Tanks have taken control of SE Asia. AA Guns are sent to Yunnan to support the 36 Infantry Divisions there.
Hmm … not a whole lot going on in Europe. 6 Tanks in Caucasus and Cairo produces 3 more are the biggest moves.
ANZC produces 3 Tanks. Combat takes place in 46 with a SS sinking a lone Trprt.
The French are confined to base as English resentment continues to grow.
End Late 1945

Edit
The USN moved to 38 from 37. I can’t remember why but it should be documented in the Game Thread. I’ll look before next post :)
Edit
oh yea just a simple mistake :)

Early 1946
The Reich would go with two Total War Mech buys, along with large Infantry and Para builds.
Tigers would be repaired and another Type XXI U-boat would launch.
A Hvy Bmbr, immune to AA Fire, would stike Moscow and cause 10 damage.
N Italy, Greece and S FRA would be taken via counterattack. Normandy and Bessarabia would also go down in defeat.
A rule misunderstanding on my part would see S Italy taken by Paratroopers.
Paratroopers are forbidden from attacking Capitals. Even if it’s not under control by it’s original owner.
This would be corrected at end of Soviet turn.
The Moscow Fctry would be repaired and moved underground. 3 British Tanks would be activated via LL and 3 Partisans would prepare to become active in original Russian and now vacated Axis controlled TTys.
Combat would succeed in W China and Central Asia. Partisans would cut Ground Lines Of Communication, GLOC, in Baltic STs and E POL, preventing German Rail movement to Belarus.
The “Karelian Knot” anchored by 1st Army Group, would remain intact, as well as the Moscow Forces.

Japan would go with a mixed build fortifying their Navy as well as the Army in China and the Home Island.
They would conduct numerous small strikes in the SW Pacific, most notable being Singapore. Isolated USN units would also be struck in 16.
The main event would take place in Yunnan.
Screenshot from 2025-10-25 02-37-31.png
JPN would have good odds
Screenshot from 2025-10-25 02-39-28.png
All UK AA fire would miss. JPN would hit slightly above avg by 2-3 hits first rd of battle. Unfortunately for the British, they would hit 3 hits below avg.
JPN would hit slightly below avg rd 2 and the Brits would once again underperform.
This would result in a Major Japanese Victory.
Screenshot from 2025-10-25 02-49-46.png
The IJN would be concentrated off the PHIs and in 6 SZ. The Army in Kweichow, with strong mobile Forces, as well as Air Units, to go along with the surviving mobile units in Yunnan.
