Chapter IV: The Fascistic Empire of...
Look! The Austrians with Italian support have taken the initiative and are pushing towards Munich!
The front is more or less stable, only with some breakthroughs here and there...
If I would be Austrians and Italians, I would push towards the Danube River, but I guess it´s too distant for them...
It looks like Germans have finally produced some units and they´re advancing deeper to the Austrian territory... After roughly eight months, it looks like the Germany might be turning the tide?
I´ve brought up here a screenshot, which shows how my Leadership Points are distributed and on which techs do I focus on.
The situation looks grim for the Austrian-Italian alliance. There might be a danger of their troops be cut out near Wien...
After some considerations, Emperor Hirohito found out that the best plan to Japan is to invade the Soviet Union instead of divided China... We´ll see how it goes later on!
The Japanese are advancing; looks like the Russian defense is feeble in this area...
While Italy is keeping around 30 (?) divisions in Ethiopia to guard this wasteland (at least in HoI3 terms), they´re getting their asses kicked back in their homeland...
I guess there is no doubt now that Germans will win this war; I wonder what would happen if Italy would retreat its divisions from Ethiopia and sent them back to defend Rome? I guess their current force against the Germans would almost doubled, yet they´re too paranoid to leave the Ethiopia unguarded against the British...
More screenshots of my Technology progress:
I´m saying this to any Italians readers of this AAR: No, there won´t be any interfering from my side to save your country, go and complain against Mussolini´s leadership of the army. Germany has just steamrolled Italy, period.
Wow! Japanese are cutting through the Soviet Union and big-time...
With the Italian defeat, I shall end this chapter... See you next time!
