LETTERS
Marko Dec 41:
Hi allies!
We have a hard task of stopping one of the most brilliant Civ tactician Xin Yu.
In this scenario both Axis states have low production but huge and well developed armies at the beginning. We have good economies with powerful production and on the long run Axis is doomed. Their only hope is to go for all-out offensive and win early.
Current Axis war plan as I understand is:
1. conquest of Soviet Union with combined assault from west and east;
2. conquest of British Isles, Egypt and Middle-East by Germany and China and India by Japan;
3. conquest of America with simultaneous descents by both Axis powers;
4. conquest of rest of the World.
European Theatre: I think that Germany's decision to start operation Sealion so early is very risky. It takes many good units from Eastern front and gives Soviet Union a chance to survive.
Pacific Theatre: Japan uses her main land forces against Soviet Union, not China. Also it is possible that she try to occupy quickly India and Australia before Great Britain can build up her forces there. As my flight reconnaissance shows, Japanese fleet which attacked Pearl Harbour moves toward American coast. They try apparently make some shore bombardment with battleships.
For Soviet Union: on square 137,39 there is a Japanese submarine. If you can, destroy it.
For Great Britain: on square 118,82 is Japanese bomber and 119,83 destroyer.
I committed cruiser and destroyer for defence of Australia but they ran to Japanese submarine on square 143,99. Nearby must be another submarine also. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you sink them with your fighters.
I mobilized all the might of United States for science and have now 1 technology per turn and shall get nuclear bombs after 7 turns. After that I put them into mass production and go on offensive. So if we manage to hold out next 10 turns then the victory is ours!
Hold me updated.

Hi allies!
Seems that war is lost. But we must fight until the end!
North American Theatre: I concentrate on defence of Washington, no forces available for counterattack yet.
Pacific Theatre: My relativly strong fleet (2 battleships plus smaller ships) just entered to Pacific and heads toward Pearl Harbor. I plan to engage Japanese fleet there and disturb Xin Yu from setting up chain transportation between Japan and America.
Nobody tells about North African/Middle East front. What is going on there? Dizepam?
Japan must been overextend herself in all fronts. Every counteroffensive can be successful against her now.
Marko,
spending most of awake hours for making of TSFE.
Marko, Feb 42:
Hi allies,
Here are the last news from fronts:
North American Theatre: Washington is still holding. In order to get money for rushbuild units I liberated lightly defended cities along all Atlantic coast but I have no forces to garrison them. As it is likely that Washington and maybe Alaska will fall in March-April I concentrate my efforts to Middle American region.
Pacific Theatre: my Pacific fleet ran into Japanese fleet which headed toward Panama. There is a naval battle going on and both sides have lost several ships.

Marko, Mar 42:
Hi allies,
Congratulations to heroic British for their recent victories!
News from fronts:
Middle American Theatre: Naval battle in front of Panama is still going on. I'm down to 2 battleships and 1 destroyer but managed to sink Japanese transport ship with Imperial Marines. It must slow them down as likely they don't have other ground troops nearby.
Alaska: Japanese tanks are approaching to the city. Defence forces are weak, so the battle here will not last long.
Greenland: I have relativly strong air force here but the base is very vulnerable to naval bombardment.
Neutrals and Germans are in war with each other!
Marko
Marko, Apr 42:
Hi,
News from fronts:
Middle American Theatre: I'm not able to hold Japanese ships away from Panama anymore. Their numerical superiority is overhelming. Also Japanese super battleship appeared near Florida. Total collapse is unavoidable and I retreated remaining ships from direct battle: damaged battleship to Southern Pacific for repairing and destroyer to guard San Juan city.
Greenland: Preparing my forces for battle against advancing germans from South Greenland.

Marko, May 42:
Hi,
The war is concluding fast. Panama will fall next turn as Japanese battleships reached to it.
Greenland still fighting: destroyed there Panzer IV tank and submarine. But it is size 1 city with no production.

All of mainland France except Caan has fallen, and the Baltic states now belong to the Reich. 
Germans have begun limited advance into Yugoslavia.
