Seems there is a little more gray every month...

Oops, missed the map

More and more white

*various profanities*

I tried to open my save with my usual password but it wouldn't accept it, or any of my other passwords. There are two possibilities:

1. Some computergenius has tampered with the file. Odds: 1 to 15 gazillion.

2. I changed my password and forgot about it. 2 to 1.

Conclusion: I'm an idiot.

I'm going to PM Henrik and ask him to remove the password.

Henrik · November 12, 2002, 17:10

Got a PM but it says that it's author had requested it to be removed and therefore I couldn't read it...

Did you find your password or do you still want help?

Pavlov · November 12, 2002, 17:12

It appeared that Pap had posted the wrong save. I PM'd you a bit too early. Thanks anyway.

Pap1723 · November 12, 2002, 17:22

I may have gotten the wrong save from Darius.

Pavlov, did you ever take Leningrad?

In the save I got from Darius, the Axis had Leningrad, and the one I sent you Pavlov, was the right one according to what I got from Darius.

So I am completely confused now...

Pap

Darius871 · November 12, 2002, 17:24

Yes, they captured Leningrad.

Pap1723 · November 12, 2002, 18:23

OK, then Pavlov, I am sure I sent you the right save because I just checked it with the one Darius sent me and everything checks out, and everything was right during my turn.

Pap

Pavlov · November 12, 2002, 19:17

I don't know what I did wrong but it's solved now. I'll have my turn up tomorrow.

In the meantime, consider the following:

The long awaited save is here. BTW, how do you like my new avatar?
--------------------------------------------------------------

AG Center breaks through
The expected capture of Moscow was followed by several armoured kampfgruppen rushing eastwards. Gorkiy fell, then Kirov and Kazan was burned to the ground.

*In the north, Murmansk was taken. AG North has only one objective left now. As a bonus to this success Narvik surrendered to German forces.

*Not surprisingly, Kursk was captured.

*Afrika Korps continue their advance by taking Baghdad.

*Sunk a British cruiser in the Atlantic.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Pap, how come the neutrals have British infantry? I got a shock for a while, thinking the Brits had invaded Turkey.

Darius871 · November 13, 2002, 13:15

Jeses, I guess that's the end of that.

Choke · November 13, 2002, 15:52

Sanctions Imposed on British India
Chinese troops have set up camp outside Dhaka in response to the injustices being committed by the British garrison against the people of Dhaka. If these cruelties continue it may become necessary for the British garrison to vacate Dhaka. In other military news Chinese forces continue their withdrawl from Mongolia.

First Engineer Brigade Soon to be Formed
President Chiang announced that next month China's first brigade of engineers will start work on national projects to make China more prosperous.

Stalin declares war on Japan!

Soviet tanks and infantry advance to Mukden from the south.

T-34's slog down North Korea's mountain roads to Seoul.

In the past few turns, the Red Air Force's recon planes have observed hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops mobilizing into Mancuria. Considering the controversy about the Chinese incursion into Mongolia last fall, we only had to put two and two together to conclude that Japan was obviously planning to launch a major unprovoked attack on Mother Russia.

Upon receiving this news, Stalin ordered preparations to be made for a preemptive strike into Manchuria. We would undoubtedly lose in the long run, but it would be better to kill off some Jap forces than to just have all of our far eastern forces destroyed in a sneak attack. Attacking was the only option.

Our preparations were complete earlier this month, and a full offensive was ordered. In a clever move, our sturmovik bombers and motorized infantry were ordered to bypass the enemy cities at the front and strike solely into their rear, to capture poorly defended cities, sell their improvements for a huge sum of gold, and to cause many of the units supported by those cities to be disbanded.

The strategy worked perfectly, as Mukden, Darien, Seoul, and Pusan, each garrisoned by mere infantry, fell quickly to the mighty Red Army. A minor artillery bombardment was conducted against Harbin, but there is no doubt that almost all of the Kwangtung Army is concentrated there so we certainly don't plan to take it.

And the new map, although it's sure to change:

Japanese forces have once again advanced on every front. Despite what the Soviets believed our intentions to be, we did not want to attack or be in a war with the Soviet Union. We were actually hoping for a continued peace.

We feel that the Soviets made a huge blunder by attacking, they should have concentrated their efforts on defending their borders.

Units transported from the Japanese home islands were able to take over Magadan in the north and Vladivostok near the border with Japan. These same units then converged on Khabarovsk and burned it to the ground.

The feared Soviet Navy in the Pacific was destroyed without a fight as they seemed to sink on their own after the capture of Magadan and Vladivostok.

There was also a large army destroyed in the fortress north of Harbin.

Mukden, Darien, Seoul, and Pusan were all liberated. There was very little damage done to the cities or to our economy. 40 divisions of Tanks, Imperial Army, and Field Artillery crossed the lines into Russia this month, and they will continue to advance until they meet up with the Axis.

Cities taken:
Vladivostok
Magadan
Khabarovsk (destroyed)
Mukden
Darien
Seoul
Pusan
