1928
The Northern Front
On the Northern Front, the Swedes, confident of victory, marched through Finland, with the aid of their Icelandic Infantry. However, an incredible assault in Swedish supply lines by Colonel Lev Putin stopped the Swedes for the moment, allowing Lt. General Fedor Tolstoy to attack Swedish Major General Harold Olufson without hesitation. Olufson’s tanks had been suffering in the rough winter of Finland, and he could not use them decisively during the battle. The Russians pushed into Sweden, but fortunately for the Swedes, an assault by Brigadier General Herman Adolfus was able to push the Russians back for the most part.
(Russia: -7 Infantry, Sweden: -1 Icelandic Infantry, -6 Infantry, -5 Armored Divisions)
The Eastern Front
The German General Hess, commanding Army Group North, was looking to make a final push against Russia towards St. Petersburg, in an attempt to allow the Swedes to use a counter offensive in Finland, while General Terra was to push through Belarus. Meanwhile, Admiral Holf would lead in an amphibious assault into the Baltic Countries. Each hoped for two things; A long spring and a warm winter. None would come. Even in the early months of January through March, the German army, which had the sense not to march forward yet, were constantly harassed by the Russian army and partisans. However, winter thawed, and they moved forward. The first true battle, the Battle of Vinius (In Lithuania) took place in April. The Germans learned Russia would stand by their country. The Germans were crushed and forced back. However, a surprise landing by Admiral Holf encircled a Russian army, and allowed the Germans to mount a counter offensive. The Russians were in a retreat. General Hess knew he wouldn’t have an opportunity like this again, and attacked the Olga line. The result? The worst defeat in German civilization. This was the best parts of the Olga line. Anti Air Guns and Anti Tank guns, supplied by the French, wrecked havoc on the German Piston fighters, leaving the North and Central armies wide open to attack. On the plus side for Germany, supplied by Swedish and German ships. Holf’s landing still fights on in the Baltic.
(Germany: -13 Infantry, -6 Armored. -5 Piston Fighters, Russia: -8 Infantry, -4 Biplanes)
The Southern Front
The Russian army, while unbeaten nearly everywhere else, the Balkans were not kind. The locals, the terrain, and the Germans all contributed to the fact of the fall of the Russians in the area. The Russians were completely expelled from this area, as the German troops were able to destroy the Russian Infantry at will. Two new nations; Bulgaria and Romania have been formed and have helped the Germans in the war against Russia.
(Germany: -5 Infantry, Russia: -6 Infantry, +Bulgaria, +Romania)
The Western Front
After the Romanov-Dutch Peace, every Romanov soldier in Belgium seemed to flood Germany. The Northern army of Germany was unable to hold back the troops, and North West Germany has been flooded with the Frenchmen. On a more positive note, military genius Hans Kloutz has brilliantly engineered an invasion of Southern France, and has deeply penetrated into enemy territory. They then gave a large portion of their conquests to the rising Italian state.
(Italy: +1 IC, Germany: -8 Infantry, -7 Piston Fighters, -6 Armored Divisions)
The Asian Theatre
The Brazilian army in Vladvistok has been completely routed by the Korean and Russian armies, as well as aid from the locals. There was a chance of reinforcements, as up to 20 Infantry were to arrive, but most of them were sunk by the American fleet. Those who did land were defeated by joint Russian and Korean forces. This has caused Brazilian morale to drop considerably.
(Russia: -3 Armored, Korea; -2 Infantry, Brazil: -20 Infantry, -10 Heavy Cruisers, UCSA: -1 Battleship)
The South American Front
Due to the destruction of their navy, several Brazilian forces were forced to stay in their country; The Lowland and Siberian expedition forces were not able to deploy. But maybe it was for the best. American, Spanish, and Romanov forces deployed and landed in Brazil. First, the Spanish Armanda landed in Rio de Janeiro and crushed the cities resistance. Then, a two pronged attack into Argentina, assisted by the rebels there, and the Amazon, allowed America to crush a large portion of Brazil’s army. This made it so the Romanovs could invade Brazil through Peru. Worst of all, Brazil’s Queen was captured by Spain, and now currently resides in Madrid, waiting the Judgment of the Spanish Empress Anastasia.
(Brazil: -25 Infantry (some went to rebels), -5 Submarines, +25% Dissent, UCSA: -8 Marines, Spain: -6 Infantry, Romanov Union: -7 Infantry)

New powers
In Africa, built by territorial gains by the British, the Abyssinian and Boer Republics have become very large and powerful. This has caused mass celebrations throughout their nations. In Abyssinia, there is even some talk of a Constitutional Monarchy being formed.

Asian News Report
Communists in power
In a surprising news, the Republican government tried endorsing the Communists. Originally, this has led to satisfaction with the government, but Communist leaders, eager for power, have seized absolute power. Some Chinese have fled to Vietnam to escape the Union of Socialist Chinese Republics.
