Don't Mention The War - Part 24

So March/April 1943 starts off with rain in the Arctic and fine in the Temperate (which includes Ukraine).  The Europeans attempt to forestall anticipated attacks by the Communists by conducting some ground strikes (failed miserably) and shoring up defences on the Eastern Front.

Soviet ground strikes are only slightly more effective and a mighty attack is launched which achieves nothing at all, zilch, san fairy ann, nada.  They use up most of their HQs and airforce in this fiasco.

The weather then gets even better, but the Soviets had stripped the northern front of offensive units in the expectation of operations in the Ukraine.  Despite goading by the Imperialists they decided to wait. The Imperialists go off and strike at the Scandinavian convoys and shell the defenders of Frederikshavn in Denmark and then assault the place, capturing a vital port.

The good weather did not last and rain and storms reappeared.  European U-boats met with limited success, however the French submariners performed valiantly against the Yankee invades, but were unable to stop them landing in Morocco.

More exciting, the Europeans, including the Finns, ventured into the Baltic Sea and embarked German troops that had been sent to liberate Estonia.  These troops were successfully deposited in Copenhagen.

The expectations are that the Communists and Imperialists will venture out in force to the Baltic.  We shall see.
