Turn 64. February 12, 1943.

Normal winter in USSR this turn. Red Army heavily attacked a German corps and an Hungarian corps, former ended at very low strength and the latter was destroyed.

Portugal. This will take a while seemingly.

Western Europe. RAF very active through strategic bombing, direct attacks to Luftwaffe air bases and even strikes over German naval surface units in French ports.

Turn 72. July 22, 1943.

Eastern front. Axis started an offensive in Belarus as expected, destroying a Soviet corps and battering a mech. Wide air support for the operation. Air combats showed the higher tech of the Geman fighters. Shots below are at the end of Allies turn:

Spain. Successful British landing in Barcelona taking the city. In central Spain, a fast advance of mobile units reached Madrid that can be already attacked on the next turn. In the south, British attack launched from Gibraltar took Seville.

Western Europe. Strategic bombers saw no German fighter opposition this time surely because of the many fronts in which Luftwaffe is now engaged
