Down south the Soviets have lost Kiev and Odessa, but have formed a defensive line behind the Dnieper. In the north Minsk has been lost and units including a HQ trapped in the swamp, but the Commonwealth have secured the Murmansk area which frees Soviet forces to try and create a defense of the remaining cities. It looks a bit sparse... It is hard to tell from the picture, but a number of Axis units and HQs are flipped.
China is doing okay after a failed Japanese attack. However I feel I handled the USSR Far East badly and have now lost Mongolia, at least the Japanese are now looking over their shoulder at the waking giant...
A lot of 'G's and 'J's on the board. Not looking good for the Sino-Soviet bloc...
ReplyDeleteIt's early days, but the loss of Mongolia might prove interesting.
Delete... but remember what Georgiy Zhukov had to say of the Japanese: 'They aren't much good against tanks.'
ReplyDeleteThe Japanese player has built quite a large armour force. Good for garrison value, but how it will work out in the pacific theatre will be interesting to see. Maybe a threat to India.
