(10:56:11 PM) EQandCivfanatic: Russian casualties have been horrendous as the French begin moving towards Moscow

(11:28:13 PM) EQandCivfanatic: great video btw
(11:28:19 PM) EQandCivfanatic: anyways
(11:28:27 PM) EQandCivfanatic: on to May 1942
(11:29:18 PM) EQandCivfanatic: In the north, the Allies have launched a massive offensive against the French army
(11:29:48 PM) EQandCivfanatic: troops from four different nations have overwhelmed french lines through sheer force of will and numbers
(11:31:37 PM) EQandCivfanatic: the Russian armies have managed to push hard south, and have retaken Riga, threatening advances upon Smolensk and Minsk
(11:32:45 PM) EQandCivfanatic: In the center, French forces have managed to encircle a large part of the Russian forces in Moscow, as they push across the Volga and east, deeper into Russia
(11:33:26 PM) EQandCivfanatic: In the south, the French have launched their drive to the east, pushing hard against the Russian army
(11:33:50 PM) EQandCivfanatic: the Russian army has managed to avoid large scale encirclements like that of Moscow, keeping the army mostly intact
(11:34:27 PM) EQandCivfanatic: In the skies, the Axis has managed to reclaim control of the northern skies, throwing in more and better planes than the AS-Zero
(11:34:43 PM) EQandCivfanatic: in the central skies, the Russians continue to be dominated, being constantly bombed by Axis forces
(11:36:06 PM) EQandCivfanatic: i nthe south, the Russians have pulled back across the Don River, destroying bridges across it, and forcing the Axis to a halt (forgot to mention that above)
(11:36:39 PM) EQandCivfanatic: also, the Axis have won air superiority in the south as well as the other theaters, bombing Allied positions after a harsh struggle for control
(11:37:15 PM) EQandCivfanatic: at this point, mostly due to time constraints, I'm going to have to stop with the casualties part, I'll give approximations of casualties, mostly because of the large scale of things and the fact that I have work tomorrow
(11:37:22 PM) EQandCivfanatic: anyways
(11:37:28 PM) EQandCivfanatic: on to other events around the world
(11:37:52 PM) EQandCivfanatic: (might not be clear above, but I'll give the casualties in private)
(11:38:27 PM) EQandCivfanatic: A major naval battle has been reported between French and Allied forces off of the western coast of France, and no one is really sure which side emerged victorious
(11:39:01 PM) EQandCivfanatic: heavy fighting is reported in eastern Turkey, as Italian troops run into both Kurdish and Turkish forces, holding as a united front
(11:39:23 PM) EQandCivfanatic: in northern Africa, the French armies continue their ddrive west, as the English struggle to establish a new front
(11:40:20 PM) EQandCivfanatic: in Japan, a massive uprising has been launched by the locals, and many Korean soldiers were slaughtered in the first night, and things have only grown worse as the Japanese rally behind a particularly charismatic samurai, calling for Japan to renounce the sword in favor of the rifle to repel the evil Koreans
(11:40:28 PM) EQandCivfanatic: so ends may 1942
(11:40:59 PM)
cgmil@msn.com: 'Bout time the Japanese did something.
(11:42:01 PM) EQandCivfanatic: sorry that i can't do casualty specifics at the moment, but it is getting late
(11:43:18 PM) crezth: OK

(11:56:05 PM) EQandCivfanatic: In the north, the skies continue to be darkend by Axis air supremacy, and they have not been idle, reinforced from other theaters, the Axis have managed to shell, strafe, and bomb the Allied advance into a halt just outside of Smolensk.
(11:56:33 PM) EQandCivfanatic: in the center, Moscow has become center of a vicious urban battle
(11:57:01 PM) EQandCivfanatic: French troops closed in the ring around the trapped Russian army there, and put enormous pressure upon them throughout the month
(11:57:31 PM) EQandCivfanatic: however, late in the month, a massive attack was launched by the fresh German army, surprising the French forces with their ferocity, and breaking through to Moscow
(11:58:10 PM) EQandCivfanatic: despite this the Russian and German forces continue to battle the axis for control of the city, as the brutal battle continues
(11:58:51 PM) EQandCivfanatic: in the south, the Russians have successfully held french attempts to cross the Don at bay, even as their positions are persistently shelled and bombed by french forces
(11:59:29 PM) EQandCivfanatic: the Axis have launched numerous bombing raids against the greatest city in the world, Tsaritsyn, causing minor panic among the population
(11/9/2009 12:00:14 AM) EQandCivfanatic: to the surprise of the French, the Russian army launched an amphibious attack against the city of Odessa on the Black Sea, but reserve forces and aid from Romania, as well as the lack of any air cover, led to a brutal slaughter upon the beaches
(12:00:32 AM) EQandCivfanatic: several larger Russian ships on the sea were even sunk by French planes

(12:09:59 AM) Luckymoose56: good is a matter of who writes the books on all this

(12:19:17 AM) EQandCivfanatic: all right, an exciting month inded is July 1942
(12:19:51 AM) EQandCivfanatic: In the North, the Axis has been pushed hard by increasing Allied forces
(12:20:14 AM) EQandCivfanatic: Smolensk has fallen while Minsk is under seige, threatening Axis supply lines to other sections of the front
(12:21:16 AM) EQandCivfanatic: these successes were followed by a defeat however, when French forces managed to encircle and destroy the Swedish front line Expeditionary Force in Rige
(12:21:17 AM) EQandCivfanatic: Riga*
(12:22:18 AM) EQandCivfanatic: in the center, Moscow continues to be a struggle, and the armies guage daily progress by inches and feet; French attempts to reencircle the city have failed as determined German resistance has blocked flanking movements to the west
(12:23:06 AM) EQandCivfanatic: the French lost considerable ground in the city and its surrounds when the Russians launched a massive counterattack, driving the Axis forces out of their foothold over the Volga and shaking their grip on the eastern part of the city
(12:23:53 AM) EQandCivfanatic: in the south, the French attempted to push around the Don River, only to be halted by determined Russian resistance
(12:24:15 AM) EQandCivfanatic: this led to three successful French crossings over the river, while under heavy fire west of Tsaritsyn
(12:24:30 AM) EQandCivfanatic: however, the Axis have been unable to gain a war of mobility, slogging their way closer and closer to the city
(12:25:01 AM) EQandCivfanatic: and now for news from round the world
(12:25:05 AM) crezth: hm
(12:25:27 AM) EQandCivfanatic: the Allied offensive against the socialists seems to have bogged down, but Virginian press claims that the socialists have never been closer to defeat
(12:26:12 AM) EQandCivfanatic: in Paris, a shocking tragedy occurred when dastardly German Kommandos, having spent months to prepare for this, attacked the city, turning the streets of France's capitol into a battleground
(12:26:36 AM) crezth: ruh roh
(12:26:40 AM) crezth: DS save me!
(12:26:42 AM) EQandCivfanatic: several government centers were seized and the Consul himself was shot by the kommandos, but is reported to remain in a stable status
(12:27:03 AM) EQandCivfanatic: DS and regular army troopers were brought in, crushed the German Kommandos, ending the brief battle
(12:27:18 AM) crezth: Every German will die!
(12:27:37 AM) EQandCivfanatic: in Nijeria, a Danish offensive has liberated the rest of the colony from French control
(12:27:59 AM) EQandCivfanatic: in Morocco, the French advance has been halted, as the French do their best to recoup supply losses and refuel
(12:28:11 AM) EQandCivfanatic: and so ends July 1942
