Looks like Romania and Hungary are fucked.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

the mongol horde is closing in on Hungary. :(

Only thing saving Hungary from an army dashing in is that mountain range. That and Romania is a more juicy target.

Does capturing Ploiești hurt Axis oil production?

I'd hope so.  I'll find out in about 10 turns.

Yes, significantly.

Ed, you can see why looking at the factory/production view.  Each city lists what it produces.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Bomb* that cold into the stone age!

I decided to play through the agony.

1st Guard Tank Army encircles German and gypsy forces.



In Romania, the Guards break through. 3rd SS panzer division in danger. 5 Romanian divisions + 1 gypsy division destroyed.



Haven't finished the turn yet. Still have to go through and do the north. Also need to move air units up.

Soviet forces seem poised to capture the vast "Y" south of Lublin.

Romania defects. Italy wants to switch sides again also. NO BLOOD FOR OIL.



The entire Southern front is now a mess. There isn't much of a Romanian army left to use. I was too harsh with my new allies. Also, the 3rd SS choo choo'ed out before the defection. I've still got 5 German divisions(or remnants of) bagged in Eastern Romania. The new Czech Corps adn 7th Separate Army have been released by me to be aimed at Hungary.

Also, in other pocket news, the HG Panzer division and 7 infantry divisions are pocketed solidly now. Another Panzer division bugged the FUCK OUT however. There Germans have abandoned most of Latvia and are attempting to form a line at Riga. Vilnius is about to fall.

Comrade Stalin has ordered a doubling of the black bread ration for tomorrow in celebration. Also, 1 Reese miniature to all children under age 10.

Turn 14:

The Lvov pocket is liquidated:



Ross..Rossi..Rossisk..aw fuck it. Green Front pulls its thumb out of its ass and breaks out. Wreck them rail lines. Let's see you choo choo those panzer divisions you fucking dogfucking AI.



Many airbase units receive reinforcements from the MASSIVE national reserve, to support the coming battle for Germany. Sadly, no A-20 squadrons in reserve. WHERE IS MY LEND LEASE, YOU FUCKING POLIO CRIPPLE?
