Chapter #13: The War Grinds On
Chapter #13: Jan 40 to Feb 40
Our forces in Russia continue to have victory after victory. There has been a lot of pressure from my allies to finish the bear off. Although unopposed, we are moving slower than expected in Russia. However, we are not the only ones getting bad news.
Jan 25 40
To hasten things, and perhaps later help the Fins, I conducted an amphibious invasion of Leningrad. Across the front my troops are mostly unopposed, but are in disarray, and have low amounts of organization. I decided to take a week or two to reorganize them.
You can see on the map that Moscow is now in sight. I have instructed my allies to race for it. They continue to complain to me that I should be the one racing forward, but also claim that they will get there first?!?

The Japanese-Italian-Russian Front

By early February, you can see British troops arriving in Finland. This will surely doom Finland. I hope to have some German troops there soon.
Feb 6 40
By later February, you can see we have executed yet another encirclement near Leningrad. However, our progress is slow. We have advanced maybe two territories across the line. The slow pace has allowed me to reorganize my armies.
Feb 18 40
The lines in France have once again stabilized. The British control the coast, but can not move inland.
Jan 31 40
A week later, the same. The logistical bombardments continue however. Supplies are always an issue.
Feb 6 40
At this point the British line around Rotterdam and Amsterdam appeared weaker than usual. I knew that the British had troops in Finland, so I decided to attack!
Feb 8 40
This turned out to be yet another disaster. Our troops were routed and the British were able to move inward once again.
Feb 9 40
Leveraging this gain, Sach decided he would try to take advantage of this. He struck NE from Rotterdam. There are many "little" battles going on here. The casualties of even one of the small battles are in the thousands. Having rarely played Germany, and never in MP, I was very concerned about manpower. I was not used to losses like this.
Feb 13 40
As always, the British were unable to move inland. Without the support of their ships, they appear just about useless. :laugh:
Feb 18 40
However, the pressure is constantly on me from my allies to finish the war in France. As if there wasn't enough pressure just trying to play Germany in a two front war by myself!!! However, as always I am confident. Victory is our Destiny.
Feb 26 40
I do not know why, but our Italian allies have taken back their very valuable transport. A lesson for everyone about anyone claiming to be an ally.
