August 43. Progress in Russia is still glacial. The allies take Algiers. They now have a firm foothold in the med, opening the back door to Italy. Japan continues to be strong. I messed up and did not send an HQ to australia until now, limiting my advance. Things should change now that the HQ has arrived. Japan is very strong (600mpps this turn) That's crazy! A huge american fleet is off the coast of Japan. My Japanese fleet does not dare approach. Interesting to see what they will do, are there troop ships behind them? If so, it could get interesting quickly.

This is a known bug that will be fixed. Sometimes a HQ will support a unit 2 times. To fix this, undetach all the units from the HQ, you should find that some of the units are still attached. Once you have found the offenders, you can attach new units.

May 43. The weather finally clears in Russia and my air quickly takes out Leningrad. Lesson learned Leningrad was impervious to land attacks; I won't make that mistake again. The Russians are still strong, with masses of troops just over the horizon. Finland finally joins as I get a diplo hit to pull it off. I only had one chit there (for a year or so). I was afraid the allies had some in there, they must not have. India falls to Japan, more troops land in Australia and I take another city there. I have found a chunk of the American navy between Japan and midway. On Carverrts turn, I lose a couple of subs, on my turn, I run. Is it me or are German subs the only ones that ever seem to dive???? My subs were attacked some 15 times and with level one and only got 2 dives. I see this consistently in all my games. I sink one of his subs with a DD (of course no dive). I think this needs to be adjusted. The allies continue to creap forward in the west, I lose another tank in southern france. Egypt still a stalemate, though the Japanese may have something to say about that very soon

April. Raining in Russia, Leningrad is spared the air I have ready (was reading your mind, seamonkey). The russians have proved to be stronger than I thought. They kill a tank and are even pushing the Japanese back. Moscow has been axis for several turns. Allies in Spain are continuing to build forces, that is going to be a big drain very soon. Egypt still a stalemate. Japan continues to expand, taking Deli and landing in Brisbane. I think India, with good weather should fall before Christmas. The Japanese are making almost 600 a turn! Quite unrealistic. Going crazy wondering what the American fleet is up to however..

Sorry, can't do that.

March still snowing in russia, Leningrad has withstood perhaps 50 attacks and still stands strong. Germans on the defensive everywhere. Russia did a great job of spawning a bunch of armies and cutting off a couple of tanks. Nice job there. Japan slowly moves west in India as the rain lets up. Australia appears to have a strong defense. Wondering where the american fleet will turn up next.

November. I knew the allies, having gotten portugal for free, would soon take spain. now they have. continued pressure in egypt, complete control of the atlantic, and a stiff russian defense are spelling doom for the germans. the japanese, with no chinese and lots of money (making over 550 a turn) continue to slowly expand. I have taken the russian alternate capital to the east, only sovermersk (or however you spell it) remains. months (literally) of straight rain in india continue to hamper my advance there. i think this tread strongly supports that the chinese problem still exists in SC Global.

I want hexes

Midway falls. Russians advancing in the Ukraine. Egypt stable, but still taking up considerable resources. Will the rain in India ever stop? My Japanese advance is now a crawl both in India and Russia. Russians refuse to give up ground around Mocow, reinforcements arriving, but dying as soon as they get there. I chance a paradrop, maybe Arkangel is open, no luck, now my para is trapped. If my Japanese can't drain more Russian troops, the Germans will be in trouble. Trying to send help, but it takes forever to get Japanese troops into Russia.

july 42. Battle around Moscow still rages, heavy losses on both sides. I hold moscow for the moment. Units move in on Stalingrad, the Japanese take another city. Progress is slow but determined. In Egypt, the battle continues, this is quite a drain, i send another army to help. Rain off Indian coast keeps me from chasing retreating units, Midway still getting pounded.

Nice counter attacks, Carverrt. I decide to press everywhere, as time is not on my side. In Egypt, the Germans throw everything they have at the armor in Cairo. I'm just a bit suprized when I manage to take the city. Interesting to see if the allies pull back or try to salvage the situation. Around Moscow, I attack, get a couple of tanks and an air unit, occupy the city. Moscow still has considerable communist forces in the area, won't be suprized if it falls to the russians on their turn. Between the Russians and Germans, some 5 tank units have been destroyed in the last couple of turns. The RN that jumped my amphib off the coast of india pay a price, a cruiser and battleship go down. Rain keeps me from completly wiping out the allied surface units here. Not sure if the Brits have the units to continue the fight or not, time will tell. Americans continue to pound Midway, nothing I can do at the moment, but at least I know where much of the US fleet is hanging out.

Germans determine to give the russians what they want One fort in front of moscow eliminated, unit in moscow destroyed, moscow not occupied yet, looks too dangerous. Japan continues to advance in russia, taking Vlad. and 2 other cities. Hopefully, russians will be forced to defend the east, leaving less units to defend european russia. reinforcing and upgrading in egypt.

April: still snowing in russia. I begin the diffcult assault on Moscow. I reduce one forts entrenchement, get a corps, and move an armor next to the capital. german bombers can't wait for the weather to clear. German navy burning, another sub goes down. RN total control. In egypt, i manage to kill a tank, but no end is in sight. Japan can no longer put up with russian disrespect and declares war, taking a couple of cities i can't spell. the slow march towards india continues. Not sure if i want to commit the troops it would take to occupy india with the russian campaign just getting under way...

march: Still snowing in russia. Germans reduce rostov and inch towards a heavily defended moscow. 2 cruisers and 2 subs lost in atlantic and north sea with nothing to show for it. Germans also arrive outskirts of Cairo. Reinforcements beginning to arrive. Singapore and Ragoon fall to the Japanese. Japanese unit in Hawaii is lost.

I should have known I could not get away with a BB roaming the Atlantic, Bismarck is no more. In Russia, still no movement, trying to get supply so I can fix from winter. In Egypt, I get a corps, reinforcements arriving taking advantage of the RN chasing the Bismarck. Japan moves closer in Singapore, getting an army. Singapore city is reduced to 0 strength. A stealth amphib runs straight into a Cruiser in the indian ocean with predictable results.

Russian winter strikes. My weary Germans spend the turn fixing. I get one DD in the Atlantic that sunk a sub with a German BB and Cruiser, hopefully, he does not have the units nearby to make me pay. My raiders in the artic are jumped and run for their lives. The allied convoy lines are just about secure now. In Pacific, I take the Solomans, one city in Australia (which makes the home guard form). The last of the free chinese are finally gone. Japan still relocating all the units from taking China...

Advance stops in russia, snow has arrived. Brit fleet in the med has gond MIA, maybe they went after the subs I sent to the Atlantic when I saw them mass by Malta, not sure. I lose an Italian army in Egypt, but he was only covering so I could do some upgrading on the german units. At any rate, my advances there seem to be history. In pacific, I continue to expand. Singapore loses a corps, and I land troops in (I think) guadacanal. In China, still mopping up the "free Chinese" and moving my victorious troops to the jumping points for their next adventure.

Oct 41 (late) I lose another tank in suez. What a mess. British are strong, I don't think I will be getting any further. I take Smolesk in Russia, still low on units. Japanese take Timor and Portugal joins???? Have not seen that before! Japanese also land in Hawaii, take Honolulu, but I doubt I can keep it long. Even though the Chinese have surrendered, I have at least 2 Chinese corps and 2 air that seemed to have survived, something else I have never seen before...

Oct 41. China finally surrenders! Not sure pre patch, but I think China lasted 6 months or so longer. I still think this needs tweaking. The Chinese played pretty good, but the Japanese can just throw army after army into the battle. I think the Japanese military is just too big. I took China without building any air or tanks for the effort. The battle continues in Egypt. Stupid me, I did not block the suez and an army and HQ got away The British Navy finally shows up off Malta. I'm guessing the plan is to trap my axis in africa now. I may have to get home via Turkey Japan declares war on USA. I could have used a turn or 2 more to prepare, but events made it best in my opinion to go now. All ships in pearl destroyed, Philippines, dutch indies, Brunei, hong kong, wake, guam, midway all fall. Sinagapore is strong, will take a major effort to take it out. As you can see, the big effort in China still left plenty of units for my first turn assault in the pacific, which is one of the points defenders of the current system tend to bring up. So you DON'T have to choose between China or other areas, you can get both. In Russia, I crawl forward, no units to exploit the empty terrain.

Aug 41 China still holds on. Japan begins plans for a secret attack on Pearl Finally bust open the fort and link up with my tank in Egypt. I had to amphib with an Italian army to flank the fort, but it worked. I may now be able to salvage the med. theatre, though it has been costly and time consuming. In Russia, I take the 2 mines west of Rostov, so now at least I feel a little better about the urals having cranked up. I only now have 5 cities in Russia. For the second turn in a row, my U-boat by south Africa blunders into a DD. His time is just about up. Screen shot of situation in Egypt.

This turn I take the Chinese Capital. No surrender, but if I hold it, surrender should come soon. China looked pretty good a couple of turns ago, I imagine they are as suprzed as I am. In Egypt, things are a mess, my second panzer is cut off, my second HQ is attacked and loses 5 strength. I still can't get through the fort to the west, and I will most likely lose another tank. In russia, slow advance, minsk and kiev fall. @Sabot6 Not sure if it is worth it, but I do give the russians something to think about, enemies behind the lines, stuff like that. The oil will cost him a few MPP's, but now that I see it triggered the ural build up, that was a bad idea. If he diverts units to kill the paratroopers, he will suffer elsewhere. If he allows them to stay the one in Vorseth will be a ready made city with full supply when the rest of the army (hopefully) arrives. Plus, Goering promises to airlift supplies Note: it was a gamble as well, if he had units there, it would have been a mess.

I think the prize should be hexes in SC3

Fixed by Mr. Cater. Thanx! dave

What a difference a turn makes. The USSR joins the allies, that is a big jump from 79% in one turn. I have no choice but to invade before I'm ready. Not a very strong first turn. I do drop a paratrooper all the way to Vorenesh (or however you spell it). Also drop one to take the oil refinery by Rostov. I guess that was a mistake, the Russians rebuild in the Urals, I had thought the mines were the only trigger for that. Live and learn. Fighting continues in Egypt. I have been forced to commit another HQ and air. If I can't finish this soon, it will really hurt me in Europe. I'm starting to wonder what the RN is up to, I expected them to join the fray by now... In China, Urumchi counter attacked on allied turn and is now damaged. I hit it with everything I have and manage to take the city. I had figured 2-3 more turns to do that. I knock out one fort in front of Chunking and move in a big 14 strength army. Suddenly, the possibility that China could well be mine before the USA enters (64%) brightens an otherwise dim game.

Carverrt forgot to mention he killed my panzer by suez! Axis Jun 41. Starting my buildup on russian border, the invasion is put off because of the mess in the Med. I do manage to kill the Brit tank in egypt with air, but it's starting to look like Egypt could well survive. Units from Lybia attack the fort with little success, it's either that or sit and rot. The Atlantic is a kill zone, I lost another sub for nothing. In China, I get a corps and take the first mine outside Urumchi, but he has several units still defending with HQ support. Not sure if it is a trap or mistake, but the Chinese leave a fort unoccupied, I take it, but the SF I use could well die as a result. I begin the unenviable task of trying to butt my way through the defensive line guarding the capital. This will not be easy, Carverrt has a real nice row of forts protecting Chunking. Russian rediness at 79, the USA not far behind!
