Turkey - Murmansk or Bust - 18 Jul to 15 Sep 1922

18 Jul 1922: I use the Reconnaissance Corps to clean up this pocket.
19 Jul 1922: More 2nd Army divisions are arriving at the frontline. My strategy is to use 2nd Army to cover our rear while 6th Army plus our 2 mobile Corps advance north at full speed.
20 Jul 1922: There are still a couple of dozen enemy divisions on our left flank which need to be kept busy so that they don't interfere with our advance. The technology Advanced Torpedo Propulsion has been researched.
I select Signal Company II next.
21 Jul 1922: That looks more promising. Once we cross over the bend in the river the attack should be progress much easier.
22 Jul 1922: The Focus Pilot Formation II has completed.
I select Free Speech next for the Industry Research Bonus.
24 Jul 1922: I want my position at Kuibyshev to be secure so I start a second thrust over the river.
26 Jul 1922: Russia - we haven't even conquered half of it yet and Murmansk is in the far North.
31 Jul 1922: I've reorganized my frontline to meet the new strategy. I begin a thrust westwards to cut off all enemy forces south and west of 6th Army's front.
Three Heavy Tank Divisions support the attack.
01 Aug 1922: A dozen divisions from 6th Army are planned to attack on a broad front.
02 Aug 1922: The offensive begins.
03 Aug 1922: The War Summary. The Russian Empire is now at 73% towards capitulation.
06 Aug 1922: The large pocket is no longer a threat to our advance northwards. Time to mop up.
07 Aug 1922: I can now send more divisions north as a second echelon.
11 Aug 1922: Almost finished.
17 Aug 1922: The Reconnaissance Corps has exploited a breach which 6th Army's assault created.
27 Aug 1922: I send 9th Süvayi Tugayi to capture Archangelsk, their capital.
I order the 11th Piyade Tümeni to support it.
01 Sep 1922: The Carrier II has been developed.
The Submarine Class Birinci Inönü is to be researched next.
Our advance presses on. Archangelsk has been captured and Murmansk is now their capital.
06 Sep 1922: Now 91% towards defeat. We are slowly getting there.
Two Süvari Tugayi are ordered to capture Murmansk.
09 Sep 1922: We also need to take Petrozadovsk. One division is on its way there.
12 Sep 1922: Salla has been captured. Murmansk is the final objective.
14 Sep 1922: Almost there at 97%.
One more day and the war is over. An overview of my Naval Production.
