After some diplomatics moves and many meetings between our Ministers the Portuguese Empire decides to enter in the Sofia's Pact.

The Duce promises to Salazar the defense of the Portuguese territory in the case of an invasion. Portugal will also gain valuable territories in Africa.


The Sofia's Pact will be stronger??

The Soviet Winter


April 16th, 1943

While the Soviet Winter starts to become Soviet Mud, the Duce decides to start minor operations in the African Jungle, in order to reach the Atlantic Ocean and to defeat the Allies there BEFORE the end of the Japan, that is now fighting against a large troops of Americans and Brits that will probably disembark in Africa after the defeat of the "Land of the Rising Sun".

Things aren't looking good for Japan.
I'm planning my strategy supposing that Japan will fall sometime in 1944, so I want to finish the Allies in Africa until there, to prevent the formation of a powerful beachhead in South Africa. Portugal union to the Sofia's Pact also has this objective.

plan on making nukes?
Not really, at least not in a couple of years.
 
ahh jungle warfare...how many allies divs are fighting japan? im sure you can handle them if they do come to africa lol

Are Portugal really usefull for anything else? :p
 
Portugal's territories are also good springboards for invading other lands. Atlantic islands for the Americas, Macao for China and parts East...Africa... :cool:
 
Man, the terrible infra in Africa sure makes it take along time to get stuff done. Nice to see Portugal back in the colonial empire business.
 
Hello to everyone!
I'm back!

Well, I'm in a hurry right now, but I will give you an update tomorrow, now the only thing that I can say is that the spring has come and with it surprisingly news and battles!

I don't know the exact number, as I don't like to use the "no fog" cheat. But I think that is something about 50 divisions (including the divisions in the islands).

Yes, it will be.

An important news has just arrived to the Duce's office: Leningrad has fallen

The siege of Leningrad last 2 years, since the first spring of the war between Germany and USSR.

With the capture of this important Soviet city and the end of the Winter (Still mug and snow in some parts of Russia), the Duces commands his bravest order so far: The launch of Operazione Mars.

Operazione Mars


After almost 1 year of wait (since July of 1942), the Sofia's Pact declared war upon USSR. All the troops of the pact that were in training in these months can now prove their value taking the Caucasus.

Nevertheless, it's important to say that some Mechanized divisions had just finished to arrive in the front line to reinforce our attack.

All the heavy equipment and supplies that the Bolsheviks were keeping in Moscow are now in Teutonic hands.

Will be Germany prepared to conquer all the European Russia, until the Siberian Soviet industrial base??


This question is important, as the Japan sunset is near.

Man, haven't busted out of Kars yet. But, your right, the terrain sucks. The capture of Leningrad and Moscow will help in the long run. Love your pics, they really add to the story.
 
So the operation has finally started then. Are you aiming for Baku? ;)
 
Yess Baku will once again be part of the Italian Empire!

How many Alpini divisions do u have?
How many divisions are italian and how many are "allied"?

Have fun getting to Stalingrad be4 the germans, and then watch all the lands you gained turn back red when BP fires. Oh wait , you're not alied with germany are you?

It is already helping, I will post an update within thirty minutes and you will see.
Thanks for the pics, I also like them.

Get to Stalingrad before the Germans!
That is improbable, my main target is Baku and Grozny (oil production), not Stalingrad or even the Volga.

Yes, Baku and Grozny, for the black gold!
