Spring well on its way, soon summer, so good weather? No, Storms and rain for the first two impulses, but then comes the clear weather. Wehrmacht crushes two more Russian corpse in the Moscow area, and Rundstedt leads an assault on Belgrade, leaving the Yugoslavian government no other option than to surrender.

In Asia, Japanese troops makes another attempt on Manila, and this time the attack is succesful. MacArthur is forced to leave, and claims to never want to come back!

With Yugoslavia out of business, the Allied decides to open another front and invades Greece. There is a quick assembling of troops around the Greek northern border as Allies ships in troops from the south while Germany builds a defense line in southern Bulgaria and Jugoslavia.

By the end of the turn, the weather clears and the defense pocket around Moscow takes another hit. It is however still alive and do have some quality troops to defende the Russian capital.
