01 May 1943: I transfer Panzerarmee Rommel from the German Theatre to the Southern Theatre ....then assign Armee Türkei to the Hungarian-Yugoslavian border. Finally I create Armeegruppe Balkan from the four Armies on the Yugoslavian border. In the Far East I order the 2nd half of Armee Russland to march westwards. Time to review a few of the nations in central Asia. Welcome to Communist China, a neighbour of the Russian Empire, it is at war with Comintern nations. It is the only surviving member of the Mutual Assistance Bloc. Tannu Tuva is a Comintern member. They are not only at war with Japan and friends but also the Allies. Another Comintern member is Mongolia. Other members of a nation's faction are always coloured blue. Red is a nation's enemies, i.e. they are at war. The Manchurian Federated Provinces belongs to the Allies and therefore a nation we don't want to attack. The same applies to Kyrgyzstan. They are not on our menu. I use Mongolia again to show more details...

22 Mar 1943: The 'missing' Fort in my Maginot Line will soon be completed. Also the Fuel Silo in Granada will hopefully help alleviate the supply problem in Southern Iberia. 27 Mar 1943: I have three fleets the Mediterranean. The 3.

Their target is the People's Republic of Ma. Now where is that? As you can see Japan is Democratic following the civil war a few years ago. They are in faction with Korea and the Dutch East Indies who appears to be a puppet. They probably coerced it from the Du...

09 Mar 1943: Armee AEF is ordered to the borders of several Allied nations. We appear to be low on supplies at our bases in Southern Iberia. One reason could be the extensive Pilot Exercises being carried out by 4 Air Wings in the region. A quick look at Armeeschule 1 reveals that we have no divisions to assign to major commands. The Abwehr's operation to infiltrate the British Army is underway. 11 Apr 1943: I increase the amount of Military Factories assigned to Ju-87 G production. The naval training allows me to assign a new U-Boot to 3. U-Boots Flottille. The new battleship Friedrich der Große is undergoing repairs.
