T035: Third Reich 42-45 - Mike (Allies) vs Ken (Axis)

T035. 1 January 1943.

Eastern Front - Bryansk-Orel-Kursk



It's not easy to disguise an offensive of this size. Ken is shifting troops into the Orel sectors, but I'm going to continue preparing for this to launch in a few turns. For the first time in this game, I've run out of rail transport in a turn. Seven armies have transferred into the staging areas, with several more waiting space on the trains.

North Africa - Algeria-Tunisia


It looks like the Axis have already abandoned this part of North Africa, save for some outposts to keep me busy. The British forces have continued advancing east down the road to Tunis, some jumping onto commandeered trains to save their legs and fuel. The US infantry forces are resting in Algiers, and will be ready to support the British if needed, while the US armored units are rolling through the mountain passes toward Kessarine.

North Africa - Egypt-Libya


After the initial breakout from El Alamein, now Commonwealth troops are racing toward Tobruk, pushing aside token Italian resistance and mopping up the two Nazi divisions that couldn't escape. I'd be surprised if Ken tries to defend any part of North Africa now. I expect him to evacuate what's left of the Nazi forces and only leave a small contingent of Italians to force me to sweep the entire region.
