It's interesting that you invaded the Balkans. I guess if you have a powerful Navy, why not use it? Anyway, I hope you properly crush the Soviets and possibly make a Tzarist democracy.

Those are huge casualities - guess that's what happenes when boths sides have reserves. 
The soft underbelly of Europe
Originally aimed to support the American landing in Spain, then, as the war between the Axis und Russians started diverted to Italy and after testing their defense moved the the Balkans, the invasion of the "soft underbelly of Europe" goes very well. While at the Eastern front tenthousands of our men are giving their life, the Balken theater sees quick victories of our fresh troops. But not all is too well.
Heavily defended Belgrade is eventually surrounded and attacked from all 6 major roads leading towards it. The Yugoslavian force are a fierce opponent, and giving strong resistance, but ultimately our superior equipment wins the day. With half of their army lost, they're slowly pushed further westwards.
Bulgaria is much weaker than Yugoslavia, and quickly capitulates once their capital and other important cities are under our control.
The battle of Bucharest is heavy, but the poor Romanians apparently got the wrong weapons. You don't bring anti-tank guns to a infantry battle teaches them our artillery.
A quick push along the Danuba brings Budapest into our reach, and as they apparently didn't expected us to arrive so quickly, their defenses are very week. It seems that half the Balkan armies were in Russia helping the Germans, too bad for them. Hopefully this will slow down the Axis attack on the Soviet Union.
Good bye, Hungary! Hello jummy Gulasch
Good bye, Romania! Hello Ploesti oilfields
A long catch-up game finally reaches an end, as our newest planned carrier groups will be ahead of their time.
With the recent successes against Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary, our general staff believed that victory over the already heavily reduced Yugoslavian armies was just a matter of days. Oh, how wrong they were! Those Yugoslavians put up a hell of a fight, and eventually the Germans had their last reserves ready for deployment. As our frontline comes closer to Vienna every day, their Panzers were deployed in position with the Yugoslavian army still refusing to capitulate.
SovietAmerika: Yes, my navy isn't too shabby, however nothing against the American navy who got 19 carriers, around double of what I've at the moment, not to forget the British and French fleets. Against the Italian fleet (the only real threat from the Axis/Comintern), it was an easy game. I didn't even included that "battle" as they run away as soon as they experienced the migh of my marine.
quaazi: Yes, the Soviets are actually really giving a good fight, keeping me busy for a long time given they are fighting the German armies as well. I did expect them to stop me at the Ural for a long time, but that was considering them to concentrate on me. With two fronts, they'll eventually run out of capacity, but it takes some time.

From Stalingrad to Vienna
As the Russian lines in the North were holding steady, some redeployments to the South finally brought results, and our attack towards Stalingrad was running fine. The Russians apparently set up all their defenses towards the West. Well, the Germans were only couple hundred kilometres away, but we were first to attack the city named after their leader.
Vienna is in our hand! Great victory parade on the Prater, Vienna Melange in the Demel coffeehouse, a ride on the famous Giant Ferris wheel, and..
..full retreat as the German bring in their last available Panzer divisions. Vienna shall be spared.
The attack on Györ fails completely when the Germans send their strongest troops, the much feared Panzergrossdivision Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler, completely mechanized and with mobile artillery support, they're able to stop our men despite 4:1 against them when eventually more and more German troops reach the battlefront. Now, it seems the German are concentrating on our Balken invasion just when we were close to finish their last allies there.
At least some success in the East, with Stalingrad firmly in our hand. However, rumor has it that the German 6th Army is preparing for a bigger operation towards it soon.
On the Hungarian plains, two German Panzer divisions completely mess up our frontline, almost cutting off most of our brave soldiers. Their leader seems to be a certain "Michael Wittmann" and acting completely against the regular German strategy of only attacking when having their positions secured, he really brings great danger towards the whole front. Eventually, we're able to stop him and push him back, but have to take our front off the whole area that was former Hungary.
Even worse, at Graz, 5 of our best divisions, completely equipped with the most modern artillery guns, are overrun by German forces and have to capitulate. 60.000 of our men are gone into German hands, a heavily blow we'll take some time to recover, as troops on the Balkan front are already spread very thin.
The heavy battle of Osa is eventually run, but causalties on our side are very high, almost reaching Russian numbers.
An overview on the 30th October 1946. We really, really, hope that winter comes soon in the Balkan.
Just a few days later, you can spot the German progress easily, while our troops have mostly dugged into their winter quarters already.

Looks like the Race to Moscow is on, because I doubt the Russians or you in the Balkans will be able to turn the germans around just yet. Yugoslavia in particular looks very empty of chinese troops.
The Russian decline
Just a few months ago, the Russian T-34s made our life (and those of the Germans) quite a risky job. Now, they have stopped their production, with Stalingrad in our hand, the oilfields captured and the frontlines of the German and Chinese armies only a few dozen kilometres away near the black sea, this early winter has been disastrious for the Red Army.
With their remaining armies mostly focusing on stopping the Germans by now, it's getting easier every day to advance. Apparently, they realised it's lost and that they'll be better off under Chinese control rather than having the Germans ruling over them. Good choice, I say.
And we just got those even more modern weapons available now. Panthers, meet the new All-Chinese Panzerfaust. First development will be in the Balkans, where the last deployment from Nanjing will just arrive shortly.
Finally, we reach a breakthrough in the technics of rocketry. Time to bring China back to where it was once, leading in rocket technology.
With the war going well, our internal production is making progress as well, with the last ressource enhancements being finished.
Late February, the Northern Front reaches the outskirts of Moscow. Freezing cold, the Russians throw in their last regiments. Too bad for them we've fresh reserves available. From Northern Manchuria.
Days later, under massive pressure, a breakthrough as close as 200m towards the Kreml is reached. Stalin flees the city!
With the new divisions pushing towards Italy, eventually even the German can't stop our push in the Balkans, and Yugoslavia is signing the capitulation. They were the bravest nation of all Balkan to fight us. Might they pick their allies better...
The Red Flag is replaced by the White Sun, Moscow has fallen. And there isn't anywhere East to retreat, this time. Napoleon, we've learned from you.
Newest reports from the American Headquarter in Spain (AHS) indicate that the Germans have less available forces in Spain than ever. Apparently, those fresh divisions that tried pushing us off in the Balkans weren't really fresh, but rather re-deployed from the Spanish theater. With Japanese and Australian support, the US troops are pushing forward towards Madrid, again. And this time, the Germans don't have their hands free to support Franco with anything he wants.
Venice is liberated in our attempt to cut off Italy from their German allies. Germanies lines are stretched thin, but with the Russians barely able to fight anymore, they might not be death yet. The frontlines of Germand and Chinese forces in Russia haven't meet yet, it seems that neither side wants it yet. Russian commanders describe the situation as "weirdest thing ever experienced". They don't have bullets left to fight us, but don't get crushed from any side. Yet.
quaazi: It seems the Russians somehow shifted their main priority back to fight the Germans. Poor AI, but it gave a good show for the money. They had no chance against two enemies. Germany seems to be running out of everything be now, the WW1-style war in Spain certainly haven't helped them.
I stretched myself too thin in Yugoslavia, especially after I lost 5 of my best divisions due to encirclement. But with another transport fleet arriving recently, I got enough fresh men for the push into Italy.
Zeldar155: Unfortunately no such state exists in AoD. I don't think an Austrian-Hungary can be created. Everything but Czechoslovakia is gone now.

Meet the panzers!
With the oil fields of Ploesti outside of the Axis, the German panzers quickly slowed down. Knowing that no oil means certain defeat, they gambled on a massive offensive against Romania. With our flanks weak as the attack on Italy used our best units, the Panzerwaffe crushed our lines.
Against such odds, even though we wanted to hold the line deerly, it was impossible. We will have to shorten our lines elsewhere to bring enough troops to stabilize the frontline in Romania.
With sunny weather, the battle for the Krim peninsula was decided when our troops managed to overrun the defenders of Yevpatoriya. The poor Spanish defenders of Sevastopol quickly gave up resistance.
Chinese scientists has made big effort to catch up in the nuclear race, as the first nuclear reactor building was finally granted. With both the Russians and the Germans in no shape to develop this weapon yet, we still might need it later on. Also, long range rockets are further improved.
As the snow melts slowly in March all over the front, it becomes clear that the once proud Red Army is completely lost, and that both the Axis and Chinese will put their guns against each other, not the Russians.
With the transportation now rather long for supplies from our heartland despite the improved raillink, we grant the people of Sibiria their freedom to help us with our streched lines.
And with more industry coming available, further capacity on the delivery of immediately needed good to the frontline becomes available.
Only two weeks later, the Russian lines are completely gone, with only Kharkov still in Russian hands. Our main assault against Sumy fails completely, the German divisions are much more of an enemy than the Red Army. The Wehrmacht is, however, running out of oil so their once undestroyable Panzers are only available on limited occassions.
Smolensk, the most north-eastern hold city by the Axis on the Russian front is assaulted by our brave soldiers. We're a bit shocked when noticing that General Franco is leading the nominally German armies who are consisting of Swedish troops. Must be quite some language issues over there.
SovietAmerik: Yes, I forced my troops through the winter towards Moscow, as for a while it looked like the Germans might win that one. Eventually the Axis slowed down due to winter, while my infantery armies went ahead no matter the causalties. I've tons of spare men (and the IC for them), so at this moment I'm really using Russian tactics.

You should use your manpower advantage more, the germans can't have much after years of war. Just wave after wave after wave, your IC can take it.
Blitzkrieg in Spain
'mid April 1947, Franco was still in command of the Swedish forces in Smolensk. While the AHS had all forces ready for a major push in Spain. Or, better said, through Spain. When weather allowed for an all-out attack, the axis frontline broke on all positions, with American tanks and trucks driving fast through the peninsula.
And while Franco managed to stop our forces deep in Russia, bringing us high causalties, his own country was overrun by the Allies. Good bye, Generalissimo!
Using new Chinese designs, the Japanese are re-building their carrier fleet. The Ryujo on the way to the Atlantic.
Within days of the Allied operation, Madrid is almost encircled.
The great picture, May 5th 1947.
Axis recent victories in Italy, Hungary and Romania are limited while the Chinese main army still is in heavy fighting with army group South in the Ukraine. We try to encircle parts of their army east of Kiev. Spain is almost completely overrun, and different than a few years ago with the invasion coming from Portugal, the Allies have tons of troops there. Japanese have landed in Norway, as most German and Swedish troops are fighting the Russians in Finland.
After more then 2 weeks of heavy fighting, eventually the encirclement at Priluki is done. It was costly for us, but it will break the neck of the German Wehrmacht for good.
American Spain, 28th May, the Axis try to defend the bottleneck at Bordeaux.
But fail.. Spain is annexed. Many Spanish divisions are completely hissing the White flag on our frontline, making big holes on a already thin front for the Germans. And not much troops in France to stop the American fast divisions, either..
quaazi: Yes, indeed. Till a short time ago when the Red Army was still active, I wasn't sure if I can beat both them and the Wehrmacht, now that they're almost gone and the Germans under attack from all side, parts of their troops in Ukraine encircled and soon gone, the race for Berlin is indeed on.

Summer brings major offensives
As had the winter and spring fighting not been enough, with the weather turning better in early June, our tactics became more easy by the day: ADVANCE!
By early June, we've managed to link up the Balkan front with the Southern Russian front, but not yet had replacements reached all the places were they were needed.
This is the last major offensive by the Axis, using their very last oil reserves and their best troops. We've to trade room for space here, but as 60 divisions are now spreading into the Balkan theater from the Ukraine, it will soon be the Germans on the Run again.
Only days after taking Bordeaux, the GI's are on their way towards Le Mans. Probably bored of NASCAR
Overview of the Balkan-Southern Russian front, our strongest units under Chiang Kai-Sheek are on the way towards Warsaw, and German resistance is getting weaker every day, apparently they're moving some troops to France, to stop the Americans there, as they're already much closer to the Reich as we are.
Von Manstain, probably the best German General on duty, is trying to hold the lines against all odds, and eventually our units make a breakthrough. In quite bad shape already, we're pushing our brave men forward, forward, forward!
Beltsy is won, high causalties for us, but we have them replaced the minute after they dropped their gun while the Germans have run out of any men in service age long time ago.
Paris is declared an open city, American troops move in without resistance and held a liberty parade.
Reaching the border of the Reich, American troops are eventually encountering some real resistance by rapidely deployed German divisions, but nothing that could stop them. We're still stuck in Eastern Poland.
At least in Finland, we bring liberation to the people, next step will be to cross the Baltic into Sweden.

Great work so far! Once the Soviet Union is down it looks like it'll mostly be a race to Berlin.
Blitzkrieg through Europe
27th June 1947, Europe. Italy has regained Venice, but no further axis progress. All other fronts, the Allies are on the attack.
In Poland, using a full forward attack, the German lines have completely collapsed. Warsaw is now a front city, the US have pushed almost to the Rhine river and the Japanese invasion of Scandinavia is already close to Stockholm. The Soviets only hold a perimeter around Leningrad.
Our very first nuclear reactor comes online in Nanjing. Now our progress will go faster thanks to practical experience.
10 days later, 6th July, our troops have reached the German border. The Americans have reached Germany proper already.
Berlin is reached by our Cavalry spearheads, only lightly defended. The Führer has fleed.
Berlin in Chinese hands! Only light resistance was quickly brought down quickly once our regular infantry has catched up.
Czechoslovakia is a thing of the past. Now all the axis lines are gone but Italy.
17th July, only 20 days after the Blitzkrieg in Poland started, the American and Chinese frontlines meet at Nuremberg. Axis troops are in full retreat towards their last holdout, "the soft underbelly of Europe".
30th July, the Chinese-American border in Germany. With a massive push from the East, our brave men managed to march across the country much quicker then the GIs, who were mostly tired from fighting apparently. Last German holdouts are in Hungary and the Baltic, while Italy and Sweden are still alive too.
Rockingluke: Thanks, indeed, once the Soviets were gone it was just pushing back the Germans.

A new order
Holding the lines for weeks, the defenders of Venice finally capitulate, now the way to Italy is free.
While still holding the Baltics and some tiny bits of Germany, Hitler is found death on a field near Munich, after the plane he took was shot down by the American airforce. Whatever left of German leadership has fleed to the Baltics, and apparently found it the best way to capitulate would be to go over to Leningrad and sign the capitulation in the besieged city. Oh, well..
Some crazy guys in liberated Poland and Finland decide to create their own little Stalinist countries... and apparently we can't do much against it.
With victory over Nazi Germany for whatever reason, the Soviet Union decided to peace out with Sweden (consisting of not much more than Stockholm)
Belgian and Dutch gouvernments return to their countries, Luxembourg re-appears on the map. Crazy Americans almost immediately create a new "German" state in their occupation zone.
French gouvernment returns to Paris. Vichy France is still around..
Apparently that US-puppet german country is called "Federal Republic of Germany". We think of creating a trully democratic German Democratic Republic (GDR).
Sweden is history, too.
The last battle of the war is in it's final days, with blackshirts still holding out in Rome against all odds. Our troops are exhausted, and soon will have some long holidays ahead of them.

2nd September 1947, the Soviet Union capitulates. Stalin tries to flee with a submarine but is stopped by his own men and shot.
Rome fells, unfortunately they completely unnecessary resistance has damaged many historical buildings.
And 5 days after the last men of the Comintern has capitulated, so does the last Axis defender.
World peace has been restored. Total Allied victory.
For 11 years, China had to fight for survival, for peace and for democracy. We brought liberty to Asia and helped free Europe, we showed the Japanese where their place is, we helped the Allies to win the war.
And now they've set up some crazy puppet state in places that should have been freed by us. Well. We call that treason in your land, but for now, we've to go ahead the way things are.
The Chinese industry is strong, we've now plenty of ressources, our navy while not big is modern, our army is modern but lacking mobility and our airforce is small but strong.
We're not too far away from being able to produce nuclear weapons, but with all enemies gone, maybe this kind of weapon should never be produced. Our rockets should bring men to the Moon, Mars and beyond, not kill civilians.
Victory of the Republic, Victory of China, Victory of Democracy
46 years ago on the day, they forced us to sign the Boxer Protocol, humilating China. Now, in 2 generations time, we've token revenge. Berlin, Vienna, Rome, Tokyo and Petrograd are in our hands, 5 of the 8 nations that attacked us now have to learn how democracy works from us.
The other 3 nations had their victory only because our men fought for their case. They'll hopefully appreciate it.
Well, this ends this AAR I guess, complete Allied victory, not sure if I should continue this in any form, as the only other powerfull nations left are the US and the UK, both clearly democracies as well. Thanks everyone for reading.

A very good run, my friend.
May I recommend doing a National Socialist Soviet Union run next? *winks*

Nice AAR, I enjoyed reading it.
Although there is a way for continuing it.
What if a new Chinese President took an Authoritarian Point of few, or even a imperialistic one.
