A Roman spy in Berlin decodes a Soviet message from Novosibirsk. The Soviets have decided to fight the Germans to the bitter end. Il Duce doesn't really know what to think about this: what is better,
an enormous German or a revived SU??

The new front line is Atlantic Africa is consolidated, but there is a change of plans. The planned attack to Ponte-Noire was canceled. While we can only attack it with 10 divisions (against 5 defenders, plus some more coming from Brazzaville), we can attack the Free France capital with 31 divisions, against less than 18, as some divisions are being moved to defend Ponte-Noire. So the new order is expect the French divisions move, reorganize and attack the French heartland.
Obs: This will also encircle 5 French divisions at Leopoldville.

* The USA push into Manchuria is finished, however, the invasion of Korea faces a misfortune as a Japanese counterattack have retaken Pyongyang and trapped Allied forces in the middle of the Korean peninsula
* The Japanese heartland (Taiwan, Iwo Jima, Okinawa and the Home Islands) reamain intact
