Japan has engaged Persia, though I believe that was a Russian puppet.
Other than that, it'd be interesting to see what Japan is up to currently.

To the consternation of Napoleon, Hitler and friends.
You dont protect the beaches by garrisoning the coastline. If you had a div per coastal province there would be none over for Barbarossa. (You should have a strong infantry corps in every third port to prevent easy link ups, and a reserve army stationed either in central/strategic locations.) You protect the beaches by defeating the enemy navy, either destroying its ability to support offensive operations as the RN did to the KM (freeing up Brit assets from guarding the isles) or keeping it on the defensive protecting their own coastline instead of threatening yours (as the RN has forced the RM to do).
If the Axis fails to keep the Brits besieged, forced to garrison their own beaches and patrol their own skies and beaches for fear of a Sea Lion, stretching their resources and keeping them guessing, this is what will and should happen.
No one ever sang about the Germans ruling waves. Full defeat is hard, and risky, but keeping the Brits on the defensive, unable to pull stuff like this off for fear of a Sea Lion or their transports getting caught, is quite doable. The loss of the KM was not written in stone, and with it and a load of HQ's labled "Sea Lion Army" within radar range of the isles radar the Brits would perhaps not have been so bold.
Russia lost 12 Subs? Didn't know they even had that many... Where's the rest of their fleet hiding out? I would have expected them to assemble in the Black Sea and try to oppose the Italians, seems to be the best course of action.
This is nonsensial. Raids such as these are exploits from both a gameplay and a historic POV:
1) Launching large invasions and pulling out so fast was impossible IRL.
2) Ruin gameplay by giving small armies brought in by fleets unrealistic abilities to quickly cut-off any exposed units.
If I'm correct, they start with 14 of them...
Without extra update on German success in East, we can only guess of Axis chances.
Authors note: The failed attack on Hungary and the wait for the Romanian troops to return to Romania cost too much time. Had I just puppeted Romania, I could have attacked France ~2 months earlier.
Thinking of it - there is zero (0) ENG HQ to be seen in the last updates. Are you playing without chain of command through cascading HQ's (Theatre-> Army Group -> Army -> Corps)giving up the boni this chain provides for better movement speed? (And quicker evacuation/retreat?) Or are the ENG HQs just hidden in the stacks?
Or are you just lazy, Zid
