Excellent job! With all the success you are having, are you beginning to look ahead? What are your future plans once the Balkans offensive concludes?

Well, if the Russians get trapped in the Balkans they still have to be "taken care of", and that's over 1,000,000 troops!
Beyond that, I'm hoping to extend the game till '49 if it can be done....

You've stabilized every front! But now you need to push the Soviets back to Moscow and Stalingrad. ;)

Did you get the oilfields in Plöesti back?

I have Bucharest, so one province away.Once Greece and Bulgaria has been fully regained, the focus will shift back to the rest of the Eastern Front.

any chance of developing a nuke yet? That should take care of the Soviet problem!

I must be close, but I'm not exactly sure.

To extend the game, do you just need to change the date in the LUA file or do you also have to do something to the save file? Can the date be changed on an existing game, or does it only work prior to starting a new game???
I am hoping to play on until 1950...

Russians Retreat Into Turkey

Once the Russians realized that they had been cut off in the Balkans many of the Red Army divisions pulled back from the frontlines and headed into Turkish controlled Bulgaria.

Congratulations!

Didn't realize, you were at war with Turkey, too. I thought you had them Soviets trapped.
So did they retreat back into Turkey and you will have to fight them until Instanbul?

Plus, you seem to suffer from some heavy strat bombing ... you lost 14 base IC from 20.08. to 31.08..

Good job driving to the Black Sea in Romania. Either you can destroy enemy forces in the southern Balkans, or you can contain them in Asian Turkey. And then you can release a far amount of those southern troops for a push into the Soviet Union proper... Assuming you can edit the end-date of the game, it seems. ;)

Didn't notice you were at war with Turkey as well. Are those Russian divisions all gone now or can they move on through Turkey?

I suspect that you'll keep on your side of the Dardanelles instead of trying to go through Turkey?

That soviet balkan "pocket" : did you force them to retreat, or did they withdraw of their own account? (nice increase in AI capabilities, if they did!) Did they get away?

They withdrew of their own account.I'm not sure where they all ended-up but it did seem that quite a large part of their forces did go running off towards mainland Turkey.

Much of the Russian forces have been destroyed but it's unclear how many of them slipped off into Turkey.
Hitler has no immediate plans to invade mainland Turkey...
