I believe I can answer that
Since its in one of the screenshots. The current Russian Capital is in Stalingrad, quite a suitable place after all, cause of the name and the fact that it more or less marks the end of Russian Europe.Looking good mnplastic, keep it up.
Are you planning to send any more units to the southern frontlines? As long as you can keep enough troops in the north to hold the line there, maybe it would be better to push for even faster advance where you face barely any resistance?
Also, great AAR!

I'm glad the Germans are willing to help out the Lithuanians in their conquest of the Soviet Union! At times it almost seems they might be really necessary!
Great work! Impressive gains.
I'm assuming those southern conquests are Lithuanian-yellow, not Romanian-yellow, but I thought I'd ask. If you mentioned this before I missed it.

It will be good to know what gains belongs to the Liths

Yes, Hallongren is right. Stalingrad is the current capital of Russia and only 180km left to reach it
I believe I can answer that

Thank you, Hallongren! Now Stalin resides in Stalingrad
An amazing AAR. Keep up the fantastic work!
I really happy you like it. Thank you for support
I want to send more. There is one more corps ready for a transfer. However, my supply lines are very lean. Convoys leave Klaipeda (Memel) then pass through English Channel, the west coast of Europe, the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea.
Bay of Biscay is infested by American submarines and the Black Sea by the Soviet Submarines which are sinking my convoys.
Awesome AAR just read this from start to end keep it comin'
Thank you. I hope the Soviets will surrender soon so Lithuanians would have time left for travelling around the World. I just don't have photos of Lithuanian soldiers in jungles

Without Germans this wouldn't be possible. Lithuanians are minority in their own army now :wacko: They became elite special forces for breakthroughs. I have no leaders left
All leaders including 0 Skill Old Guard are employed.Lithuanians are holding Crimea and everything below Rostov-na-Donu - Krasnodar Region. I left the left bank of Don for Romanians to conquer.
Yeah those two Yellow colours are very annoying

See above. I believe, nobody thought Lithuania and Romania will have the same border
To be honest I was confused at one moment who is holding Crimea because both Romanians and Lithuanians crossed Isthmus of Perekop at the same time. I do not really know why Lithuanians and not Romanians were awarded Dzhankoy province.

All Quiet in the Far East
The Nationalist Chinese second offensive failed as the first before. Japanese and Manchurians retook Mukden in the middle of September 1942.
By the end of October 1942, Japanese reached Dalian and commenced a siege which lasted for 3 weeks. On 14 October 1942, Chinese garrison in Dalian capitulated.
By the end of November 1942, Japanese pushed Chinese back to the pre-offensive positions.
Following the stabilisation, Japanese began an offensive against the Soviets and regained territory lost in previous two months.
By the end of 1942 both fronts stabilised.
The second Italian offensive in Ethiopia at last reached its target - Addis Ababa was liberated. Leading Italian troops even reached Somalia.

That's a fitting capital for the soviets. I approve. By the time you reach there, they will DEFINITELY surrender. Hopefully.
And that war with Japan is infuriating.

regarding surrender I remember I had to get a few cities to the east of Stalingrad, might be random time that played in there.
I think the soviets are already crippled by the loss of huge part of industry. They still have a big army but that army requires a lot of supplies. I really do not want start a new offensive to Arkhangelsk if the Soviets do not surrender after the loss of Stalingrad. I hope you are right about that
Antarctica would be better alas it is not on the map I think you are right but Japanese took Vladivostok which definitely made odds better. I do not want to check the Soviet surrender progression just for fun of not knowing. There should be no such progression table anyway
This is an awesome AAR! I succeded in getting bitter peace using Germany but never thought it was possible with Lithuainia.
War in the East – Knocking on Stalin’s Door
Even though the Vologda Operation was officially completed, fighting has not stopped. The Soviets continued threatening Belozersk. Pre-emptive attacks were made by Lithuanian 5th Pestininku Korpusas towards Kaduy and later towards Lipin Bor but all of them failed. Exhausted divisions of the 5th PK were caught off guard by a sudden Soviet counter-attack at Belozersk and had to retreat from the town. Only the timely arrival of fresh reinforcements saved the day.
In order to secure the flow of supplies to Vologda in the case of Belozersk loss, the 3rd PK took Cherepovets, north of Belozersk.
In the South, the main fighting shifted towards Stalingrad Region. During the first days of 1943, Lithuanians won at Kuznetsovsky and Naumovskiy, and on 9 January 1943 won at Proletarsk pushing more Soviet troops behind Don preventing them from organising successful counter-attacks.
The leading elements of the 2nd PK continued advance towards Stalingrad. On 3 January 1943, the Battle of Salskiyk was won opening the direct road to Stalingrad. Further battles were won on the left bank of Don at Popov and Verkhnechirskiy. On 15 January 1943, the 221st Infanterie motorised division reached suburbs of Stalingrad but an attack on the city was postponed until the arrival of reinforcements.
Situation at Stalingrad:
At the same time, the elements of the 2 Armija took Tbilisi on 6 January 1943 and continued moving towards Baki and Groznyj.
Due to the critical situation in Stalingrad region, the Soviets had to weaken their positions in German and Romanian sectors. Germans seized the opportunity and took Rjazan. Romanians also made some limited gains.
British submarines intercepted Lithuanian convoy to Batumi in the North Sea. Lithuanian divisions in Caucasus lost highly needed supplies which slowed their advance.
British also achieved another success in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia joined the Allies and exacerbated Italian position in the region.
In the Middle East, Persians re-captured Ahwaz, but Italian mariners captured Behbahan and Bushehr.
The situation in the Far East became critical. After months of stalemate, Americans received fresh reinforcements and supplies and broke out of Kyushu Island. They unexpectedly took Hiroshima and annihilated Japanese defenders in Southern Japan leaving no Japanese units capable to defend the road to Tokyo. The exhausting two front war in Manchuria crippled Japan’s capability to fight Americans.

Stalin is having an heart attack when he knows that their getting occupied by Lithuanians ^^
Thank you. At the beginning I thought I will be satisfied with a survival and conquest of few lands around
Soon you must enter Persia. Or Southern Lithuania?
Only once I have invaded Persia with Germans before. It was logistics nightmare. I probably had too many armour units there
This time I will send some elite infantry.I think he is not the only one. Hitler will demote all his generals if Lithuanians beat Germans in the race for Russian wilderness

Demote?! He will probably lose his mind and execute them all
