It's looking grim folks. Stalin hastens deployments around the several major cities. 8 smurf airfleets have been seen committed against USSR. Dividends do pay off with research both for the US, USSR, and UK. Stalin coaxes Papa Smurf "come on baby, enter the dragon, I rule baby, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" This is going to be very bloooooooody indeed! I tried to preserve as much USSR forces as possible to put up a defensible line. The day of reckoning calls us..... The Allies will not have much of a window to hit back as the smurf forces are expected to move in quickly into Russia. If the USSR falls, all is lost. Ireland was DOWed as smurf sympathizers Secretaries McMullen and O'Brady in their cabinet were seen cavorting with smurfette in Paris. Ireland is hit with naval and air power. it is expected to fall by next turn.

Gibraltar falls but USSR prepares for war. this is it folks. Wil the big gamble pay off? (Well I did not follow my recipe to a tee as I lost at least 1000 MPPS defending France). Curry already have advance fighters and infantry tech -ouch! Hope the USSR can hold tad bit longer. Darn smurfs!

Nothing new.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Itlian armies and navy hitting Gibraltar - the French Algerian Legionaire Corps holding.

He stopped bombarding Malta. Getting ready to leap out from the med into the Atlantic? All quiet before the storm.

no news.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Curry, Please resend your file.

Spain is attacked and the US enters the war! horay! Spain is likely to fall within the next turn no time to send reinforcements.

Hey Curry, Attack everyone at the same time. Yugo falls....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz........

We shall overcome. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...........

Cobra, Excellent graphics! It ranks among the top I say. Thank you so much!

Yes, I am aware. More time to build up is better for him as he gets more time to buy units, research, etc., etc. But my main point here is that he could not sustain a two front war even how much he prepares. England is at best to conserve resources (should have stuck with it earlier than trying to defend France - I gambled trying to hold on early as France but the rolls did not work) as when Germany stricks deep into Russia - the US and England would then be well prepared for D-day. England could not sustain alone during 1940-41. Does anyone remember one England tried to do a seaborne invasion a solo mio? It was cut to ribbons. The allies has to bide its time as it did historically. Patience..patience.. Nothing to report...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..... Curry should have invaded England early and he could have knocked me out easily and that would have been game over. He would have had sufficient air power to dominate and the linking with the Italian Navy would be overwhelming. He is going to get bogged down in Russia as he would constantly have to keep an eye out for the coming western front in France. We'll see how this turns out. It is not just a measure of gambling for tech supremacy (by the way folks tech did play a big role in ww2 lest we forget) but getting Germany to overstretch as it does not have the resources to cover two fronts and replace losses at both. OKW already had grave misgivings about Barbarossa for opening up another front. If Germany focused on its submarine warfare and developed its submarine tech and aviation bomber/fighter technology, we would have been ispraken ze deutsch right now in this forum.

Papa smurf's guest the rocket man Elton John was seen riding the head of a v-1 rocket over the English Channel. Nothing to report.

Except for the lost of Egypt and the bombardment of Malta, nothing else going on. Darn Smrufs!

Blah...blah...blah...blah...brrppp!

Egpyt is in trouble. Nothing else. Ho-hum...

Nothing eventful. We are waiting...waiting...waiting. Papa Smurf was demanding Churgargamelchill to surrender the UK. Brest is still under UK command. Malta still being pounded like hell and subs in the med.

All is quiet on the western front although we are catching whiff of what Papa Smurf has in store for Churgargamelchill. The peanut galley goes wild for Papa Smurf! Evil Smurf sympathizers and Neo-Smurfies! What happened to the ideals of freedom and democracy!?

All is quiet on the western front....

Nothing to report. Bad smurfs...bad smurfs.

Resent.

Stockholm's defenders were wiped out but the city was not taken. It was promptly occupied by another Swedish army. Brest is still being held. Malta continues to suffer constant bombardment.

Sweden tries to hold on as it redeploys its army and corps to defend the frontal assault lines into Stockholm. Brest was momentarily liberated giving the Canadian 1st Army a reprieve. Heck, wish I had more troops to wreck havoc. War entry for USSR 54% US 43% Looks like Russia might enter the war earlier than expected. The Italian navy continues to pound Malta to 60% strength. It was reinforced to 80%. Things are not smurfy in smurfland anymore. Papa Smurf is being worn down and is visibly tired.
