I think if the US want to win this war they'll have to start lease-lending all their ships to the Brits. You massacred them at the 4th Battle of Iwo Jima for precisely no losses.

To paraphrase Admiral Beatty, "there's something bloody wrong with their ships".

Funny fact -> I've noticed that the recent US ships I've sunk (in the future) were UK classes that I assume the US built by license.

Didn't make any difference, the US Naval doctrines must be really behind.

Sakhalin Operations - September 10th to 20th, 1942

While the naval battle off Okha was disappointing, on the south end of the island the Army was battling to retake Toyohara from the Soviets.

Being successful there the division moved north, while simultaneously the Russians moved south in force from Okha in an attempt to destroy this threat to their rear and retake Toyohara. Unknown to them, Japanese reinforcements were moving on the mainland to cross under the protection of MBF-1's guns behind them!

Your fuel situation is looking pretty dicey again.

Mind you, once that's sorted you'll be laughing as all the other stockpiles look pretty good and your IC is decent.

Only one thing to do - onward to Baku!

ASW & Bitter Peace

(I have no idea where the images are that I am certain I took from the action around lake Baikal and the Ulya port before bitter peace fired...apologies there, but it was all rather an anti-climax with the canned event handoffs.)

The Soviet Union surrendered their western half to the Germans, the Japanese were left with far less than they had taken in the east.

Operation "S" - The invasion of Australia

The Naval Landing Force had been standing by on Java while all five divisions were relieved and assembled from their various assignments from India to Oceania.

Their mission was to land at various ports in western and north-western Australia, code named Operation "S."

The first landing...

The first major resistance was encountered at the port of Broome where paratroops from the US Army had been flown in, this attack was halted and the division diverted to the second landing area.

Perth was captured without much fuss, and the Australian defending troops in the western part of the country fought delaying actions until they could meet up with additional troops at the logistical choke point near Point Culver.

Here the brave Aussies made their stand!

Yet after only four days of fighting they were assaulted and bombed into retreat...

Operation Setsuzoku - The invasion of Persia

In order to strategically link with the other Axis powers, and to a great deal prevent them from acquiring the riches of Persia first, the ever ready 2nd Army launches a multi-pronged invasion of Persia, including deploying the 8th Corps via landings in the upper Arabian Gulf.
