But found several enemy submarines.
Germany
Our air reconnaissance aircraft was encircled in the skies over Denmark.

Torch
The Axis decided to leave the position without a fight and move away.
Our deep recon unit is heading towards Tunis(!)
If we are lucky and are able to capture it, the Allied landing on Sicily will probably begin.

But the Axis repulsed one of them and part of the aviation had to be returned to England.
The first aircraft are already refueling on an carrier.

Extended Loss analysis

Loss Ratio:
For comparison:
Previous Loss analysis data (t=45)
Previous Extended Loss analysis data (t=40)

Loss statistics are compared with this pair game.
---

We launched an offensive on some fronts and the enemy began to suffer heavy losses.
Also, almost all the losses in tanks and self-propelled guns he suffered near Moscow.
We lose a large number of bombers over Germany. This is also reflected in the loss statistics.

Compare the losses per Axis in this game and this one.

I still lose 1.5 times more tanks than McGuba.
But this ratio has decreased.
In connection with the start of the fighting in Africa, the ratio of losses in fighters also did not in my favor reach two.
But the ratio of losses in the bombers managed to save it is also two times more in favor of Intenso.
The remaining losses are comparable.

Compare the losses per Allies in this game and this one.

In general, the ratio of losses for the Allies is comparable (within 20%). Except for the fleet where I lost substantially more ships, almost doubled.

Strategic map
No prestige!
Norway
Air reconnaissance detects a torpedo boat near Trondheim. But the damaged destroyer was gone.
Obviously he went to the Baltic.
France
Axis reacts to our little operation.
Italian boat blocked our destroyer in port The number of our strategic bombers has fallen and we will have to reduce the intensity of the raids on Germany.
Also, the command is trying to transfer to Africa another group of aircraft.

Torch
There are air and ground battles.
The Germans are retreating to Tunis.
Our troops occupied Annaba.
The reconnaissance unit made a deep raid and occupied Tunis.
If the appearance of reserves is triggered at the beginning of the Axis turn, then we will be able to start the landing operation in Sicily on the next turn already.
If the reserves will appear only with the start of the Allies turn then Axis will have time to destroy our unit with the next turn without consequences.
Worth the risk!
Iraq
In Iraq, the situation is bad.
The Axis finishes our units from Basra and moves to the central part of Baghdad.
Kirkuk also already captured by the enemy.
Russia

North
Yes, the withdrawal of the enemy is confirmed.
The aircraft did not find enemy troops south of Arkhangelsk.
Probably the enemy began to withdraw to Petrazavodsk or even Leningrad.

It is strange, the Axis had superiority on this front 3 to 1 and could quickly take Arkhangelsk.

Centre
Germans began to retreat along the whole front.
Moscow is under our control.
We hope forever!

In this version, our armored boat could not get into the Rybinsk reservoir, because it is a deep sea.
Hopefully in the next version it will be possible.

We are not in a hurry to pursue the enemy.
Because only 30% of our troops are combat units, and the others are support units. The enemy began to withdraw artillery.
And we are trying to inflict damage on her march.
Also now we have enough of our artillery on the right bank of the river.
Centre - Air
Our aircraft strikes at the retreating enemy and conducts air battles.
Today we shot down two bomber.
I wonder for what reason did the Axis decide to leave Moscow?
So affected by the loss of the Tiger? Or were our troops able to cause unacceptable damage to them? Or is it time for this 50 turn to begin a strategic retreat if you didn’t capture Moscow and play against the AI?
