The End of 1942 is coming for the Allies, after nearly three years of war Against the Axis forces, the Soviet Union has crumbled, and the only European powers not under German or a Fascist Government, are the United Kingdom and the Emerald Isle. With British and Commonwealth Forces fighting hard in Africa slowly pushing the Mussolini’s forces out of Africa for good, but is taking time. As the Last of Mussolini’s forces are putting up stiff resistance, more than what they did on the Italian mainland.
At a recent allied Conference in Cairo which has been dubbed the Great Conference , Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Irish President Edward Phelan, are disgusted with the American Contribution to the war effort in Europe. Many Irish and British Lives have been lost in the three years of war. An American Force was demanded for use on the Continent, but President Roosevelt insist that America has a Japan First Policy as the Majority of the American Public believe that the European war is a side show. Ireland and the UK need to fight on much longer.
Irish Troops have been stationed in Northern Italy for the last few months the road ahead looks clear, but with the size of the Irish army it is very hard to conduct a general advance. With most of Germanys forces fighting the fading Soviet Union. With the Irish Armies Armoured Forces slowly being built up it is considered that any attack up along to the Vichy French border would be a Vital task for Allied Command.

In the Far East the situation for the Allies goes much better the Japanese have been pushed out of Burma after heavy jungle fighting by the Commonwealth Forces. The American have managed to land an Invasion force on the Japanese home islands at least they are doing something right. It is a certainty that Irish troops will not be sent to the Pacific Theatre as they will be then spread to thin.
