This is the only post in the Global 1940 No. 5 Game Report.
Players:
Axis: The Captain
Allies: Dark Knight
From Early 1940, Germany launched a Massive U-Boat Offensive in The Battle Of The Atlantic.
This offensive continued during the entire War, with a continued high U-Boat production.
The fighting on the Eastern Front was clearly marked by the massive German U-Boat production, since the reinforcements on the Eastern Front were scarce.
Nonetheless the German Army Group North & Army Group South were doing progress - slowly but surely - deeper into Soviet territory.
The Soviet Union defended their frontlines with 1st & 2nd Tank Armies, 1st, 2nd & 3rd Army Corps - and an almost unlimited amount of Red Army Conscription Infantry units - slowing down the German offensive.
Japan wiped out the last Chinese forces in Early 1942 - and kept pressure on the US Navy in the Pacific, forcing a complete withdrawal of all US Naval units.
United States declared War on Japan in Late 1941 - fortified the Philippines - and started a build up in the Atlantic to counter the German U-Boats of the Kriegsmarine.
United Kingdom was surrounded by German Wolf Packs - and almost starved out.
No Large Scale Offensive was ever launched by United Kingdom anywhere during the War.
India was fighting with its back against the wall - and was threatened in Early 1943 from the West by a German breakthrough in the Middle East.
ANZAC fought bravely - but alone without support from either United States or United Kingdom.
The Allied Nations seemed to fall apart - with no chance of getting a foothold in either the Pacific or Europe.
Late 1943:
Germany takes over Italy.
On the Eastern Front Germany launches an all-out offensive from North to South.
The Middle East and Mediterranian are secured by superior German forces.
Gibraltar is captured by German Panzer units in an amphibious assault - to cut off the US Navy from using the Naval Base.
The German Luftwaffe is strengthened on a massive scale for a future attack on the US Navy in the Second Battle of The Atlantic.
Japan is launching attacks deep into the Pacific - reaching out as far as Johnston & Line Islands.
The Allied forces are retreating on all fronts.
In the Early 1943 Germany and Japan are close to an Economic Victory - with superior Military Forces.
With no hope for any improvement in the military situation, the Allies have no option but to surrender in Early 1943.
