April 14, 1940: German sub destroyed, cruisers reduced to 5 and 2 strengt, another UK battleship lost. A german army entered french territory for the first time and got killed immediately.

March 17, 1940: Naval battle north of Denmark: One UK battleship sunk, all 3 german ships heavily damaged. Still heavy air and ground fights in LC. Last french corps retreated from German soil.

Turn 4 Allies: A battleship has a look at the airfleet that attacked the UK air directly: still at strength 7, so no chance to kill it... . Heavy fights in LC, german army survives the counter attack with str 2. Time to retreat from Germany. First sub sunk, the other surrounded and at str 1, will sink next turn.

Turn 3 Allied: 4 polish units surrendered. France starts a strike against Germany: UK and french forces march into the enemies country and attack a Hq in Cologne. Simultaneously an offensive begins in LC. Both subs found, but one sub is a good diver: 0 hits, 3 times diving.

Turn 2 Allies: French armies attack, kill a german corps and reduce a tank to strength 2. Poland will fall soon, but first polish forces capture a german port for one turn.

Turn 1 Allies: All polish units still alive and reinforced. Ireland remains neutral.

November 15, 1942: First russian army destroyed in Russia. German army survives the counter with 1 strength. Iraq liberated, all enemy forces east of Suez eliminated.

USA Lv2. In the west, US and canadian forces supported by US air and UK carrier liberate Algier, one italian corps transport destroyed in a battle at Malta. Africa will soon be allied.

October 18, 1942: The first fights in Russia since many month... First oilfield in Iraq conquered. Turkey surrenders. US/UK task force in the Med again. Algier under heavy attack, US landings around Algier.

September 20, 1942: Beirut liberated. New russian units can be built directly at the front now. Only one corps ring around Istanbul left between city and Axis forces.

August 30, 1942: Suez liberated. Beirut and Iraq under russian attack. No possibility to retreat or to bring in reinforcements to Iraq for Axis now. In western Turkey: Axis forces destroy some units and are only 2 hexes away from Istanbul. All romanian ressources still in russian hands. Sometimes London port is attacked by german air to force UK air to intercept.

But first Russia took both romanian oilfields . Reinforcements arrive at Istanbul and Bucharest. The eastern turkish city conquered. Some Axis units build a defence line in the south. Romania still fighting. Transport battles at Tobruk. Some US transports are still looking for empty cities in the Med. Germany reached Lv1 anti-tank.

June 21, 1942: London port still under attack. All quiet in the east. An allied task force appears in the Med. One italian corps transport on sentry duty destroyed, transports along different coasts in the Med. Algier bombarded.

May 3, 1942: Better to leave France now, too much german air and italian ground troops there. Allies will come back later . Main goal is achieved: Russia is strong now and can fight alone for a while. Minor fights near Kiev.

April 5, 1942: Germany placed 8 !! airfleets and a bomber around Brussel now to fight against the invasion troops. Only 1 airfleet in Russia left. Russia fortifies positions behind the rivers... 2 strong ground forces are facing each other.

March 8, 1942: Yes, Allies have to choose the best place to attack. They dont have superior numbers in this stage of war, they have to choose their targets and limit their losses. But now Russia grows stronger . Counterattack from 2 sides: from Smolensk, german army killed near Minsk. And from Riga russian tanks and armies move towards Koenigsberg to cut off german forces in middle Russia/Minsk. At Brest one italian corps destroyed, landings in France, Brest cut off.

January 11, 1942: Russian task force returns from Finland, prepared to strike back soon. 3 german air sighted in Russia. In the west: Brest under naval attack. Transports along the coast. Italian fleet spotted near LC. Some airfights around Brussel, italian sub under airattack.

November 30, 1941: Finland surrenders. Only 2 german air in Russia. Therefore Axis have to be careful. One russian corps killed, german armies under attack.

I vote with Rambo for extending the days idle to 24 = 3 weekends. Rambo: Would be good, but unfortunately it seems not to be possible (as far as I know) to implement a "vacation time out" in the system (technical issue). BTW: 4 weeks holidays in Germany are minumum, set by law. But standard in many companies are 6 weeks. Sometimes the length increases from 4-6 depending on how long you worked for the company (in years). The "age" system is used in the public sector: your holidays depend on how old you are. Working time depends on the branch/company: between 35-45 hours usually. Exceptions proof the rule . In Germany exists around 1300 - more or less different - collective agreements, that determine working time and holidays. And it can also depends on your individual treaty.
