Soviet security forces forcefully put down rebellions (inspired by the Independents) in Karelia and Uzbekistan. Several light armoured units are lost in the sharp actions. Fed up with continuous border incursions in the mountainous Tien Shan region Soviet forces mass on the border to launch a putative strike against the warlord in Yining.

Operation Barbarossa launched!



Baku, Sevastopol, Rostov, Odessa, Kiev, Minsk, Smolensk, Kharkov, Kursk and Stalingrad captured!



Sorry Mcmonkey, nothing personal , but it would heve been stupid from my part to not do this, I planned this a long time ago when I saw your amount of units didn´t increase at all while my army was getting very powerful, I had to do it before the USSR would get too strong and a great menace for the Reich. I suppose I could have warn you one turn before but this is blitzkrieg, and sneak attacks are part from it, anyway after I saw how badly defended your cities were not much would have changed if I had warn you. I sent you a PM too.

Well, since the Turkish goverment didn´t want to let my troops cross the Bosphorus I had to capture Istanbul after my heavy artillery landed in the previous turn. From there army group south started to capture Russian cities very easily; most of them were only defended by one Garrison unit, however Stalingrad was tough to capture with its +150% defense bonus.

Army group north captutred also Minsk and Smolensk easily after air support. At the end I had still a lot of fire power left, didn´t expect the Russians would defend their cities so badly (however at the end I lost more units than I destroyed), even worst than when the game begins...where were your units Stalin?

Apart from Istanbul I didn´t capture any independent or barbarian cities, and believe me, I could have done it easily since I had many resources left, but I didn´t do it as a sign of good will towards the occidental powers, this is only a war against Russia, so please stay neutral.

Stalin is deposed by the Red Army generals who promptly agree terms with the Axis. This is a serious humiliation for the USSR which has paid the price for its neglect of the military!

[Radyserb]

The Commonwealth declares its neutrality in this war.

[Cobra]

The Tenno declares the neutrality of Japan in this conflict and postulates negotiations.

[Rebelious]

Ok, Russia agreed with my peace terms, this will be the new border between the Axis and Russia:



Apart from what I already captured Leningrad, Novgorod and Murmansk will be given to me while I will return Stalingrad, now the details:


1. The exchange of cities will be done in November of this year.
2. No city improvements will be sold, no pillage in the city radious and no hunger

Another thing; what about the Russian Baltic fleet? I think it should be given to the Kriegsmarine or at least be disbanded.

[McMonkey]

The Baltic Fleet will set sail for Arkangelsk!

[Radyserb]
