1942, January 4th:
- Four more flotillas of close support planes, three marine divisions (the only ones we'll get for a while), and one troop transport group join our forces. The planes head to Britain, the other units assemble in Rio de Janeiro.
1943, January:
- We seek out the German armada now cruising the North Atlantic, hampered both by bad weather and the poor range of our CAS striking force. German fighter planes force us to redirect our searches away from the French coast. Note the significant effect of British radar.
- An American force with one carrier and about four battleships conducts a series of air raids on the Germans, doing significant damage to Frederick the Great.
- The only actual air strike we manage to get in is baffled by snow.
1943, early February:
- The German surface fleet moves out of range, probably back into the North Sea, and our CAS find submarines instead. Their raids do no damage, so Brazilian destroyers relocate north. We're taking a risk committing ships, but the sea lanes have to be kept clear.
- Epaminondas dos Santos' fighter air army joins American and British fighters in attriting the more than three thousand German bombers sporadically hitting targets in Britain. Going after thousands of planes simultaneously is a difficult task, but every so often we bounce some stragglers.
- We may not have what it takes to field armoured divisions, but Brazilians intend to conduct mechanized mobile warfare nevertheless.
1943, February 2nd - 7th:
- More reinforcements arrive; four CAS and one fighter flotillas bring our total force up to 12 CAS, 8 fighters. This will have to satisfy our airforce for quite some time, because production is needed now for dissent reduction, and later for mass mobilization. Each of our marine divisions gets heavy artillery support.
1943, February 7th:
- Winston Churchill expresses his personal thanks for our assistance in defending British seazons and airspace, and, more to the point, overcomes political objections to sharing technology with Brazil. We'll make good use of these!
1943, January-February-March:
1943, February 15th - 30th:
- Iceland has become a vital base for us, and the Americans keep it well stocked. As the main German surface fleet returns for another cruise, we're as ready as possible. Destroyers (there are 36 flotillas here) stashed safely away, recon planes on patrol, and Gomes' CAS at the ready.
- He attacks at dawn next day and very nearly sinks Frederick the Great. The German armada heads south and attacks a recently-formed British convoy (free AI ships built by event), doing terrible damage ... including to itself.
"Frederick the Great, sunk by Tirpitz gone rogue, with assist from Brazilian CAS, with assist from British carrier planes." We all work together, and that's why Hitler's not going to win this one.
