World in Flames - Empires in Flames

With Italy relocated to Albania, Germany has to deal with the southern defenses himself. HQs and infantry are transported to the northern Italian alps where the allies position some leg units to hold the line, with the exception for the Italian border on France where American armor are massing. The German lines quickly solidifies however, and the Americans decide to exit via the sea instead, temporary relocating to the UK.

Albania is still going strong. Allied bombings are fierce but the defenders are well dug in and protected by both forest and weather. In the end the British assault is postponed due to bad weather and the bombers which should have provided ground support are instead sent to Bratislava and Vienna where they wreck havoc among the unprotected factories.

On a side note, Kiel is once again port striked (It is not so fun to be a harbour worker in Kiel these days) but once again, with no effect. The German fleet with some convoys takes the opportunity to sail to the Baltic with some convoys instead and for the first time in ages, Swedish ore reach the German factories. The Russian fleet which hunts in the same waters fails to find anything.

Reinforced with heavy artillery, the Japanese army finally annihilate the Indian infantry which has camped on the resources in Malaya for over a year. Soon, Singapore suffers the same fate. CW subs get their revenge by sinking some Japanese CPs in the South China Sea.
