==== NPC/Random Events ====
* Sweden falls into Civil War as of the unpopular decision about supporting the Axis.
* After border conflicts with the Soviet Union and Turkey, Turkish citizens try to persuade the president to join the Axis Powers.
==== Player Events ====
Turkey: The presidents reluctance to join the axis powers sparks outrage among the Turkish people. A military coup occurs and a new pro-nazi government is instituted. The new leader, with support of the people, announces his decision to join the axis. Several thousand troops are placed on the border with Syria, and others on the border of Armenia, on February 2nd, Turkey declares war on the Soviet Union and Britain. Troops flood into Armenia, and meet little armed resistance on their advance to Yerevan. Though seizing the city proves difficult and the advance is halted to focus on the siege. Minor skirmishes occur on the border of Syria, though no major advance is made.
Greece : 
Greece Army Did a succesfull attack in USSR Georgia Many USSR forces are captured and neutralised the resistance was not a bad hit and the south west part of Georgia is Now Occupied by Greek Forces .Also Greek Forces will Help Turkish Army Advancing toghether in Caucasus . Also a bombing in Cyprus destroyed many Tanks and Planes of UK . Also a small Group of Planes Helps Turkey Advance in Syria . Greek Small Groups Now Joining the Italian Forces in Lybia . Defences in Aegean Sea (Heavy) .
Germany: The entrance of Turkey in the war makes our plans for the conquest of the Caucasus easier. Turkey is asked to let the Germans enter their territory to launch an offensive over the Caucasus mountains. In the North, the climate is favourable for an offensive, and it happens in the sector of Smolensk. Troops from the Leningrad front marctwo as well. The Soviet resistance is high, but the surprise of the attack, the German technological superiority, weather conditions and the direction of the attack make it unstoppable, trapping around 76,000 soviet soldiers in two pockets, which are exterminated by the aviation and the artillery. All soviet equipment in the area is captured and sent to study in Berlin. In the center, the armies remain in defensive positions. In the front of the Caucasus, the Case Blue advances favourably as we are supported by Turkish and Greek soldiers. Other minor axis forces are sent to the North-central front to contain any possible Soviet counterattack attempt. Not following Hitler's orders, Von Paulus does not enter in Stalingrad, and orders to burn the city, burning specially the factories which produce most of the Soviet tank force. After that, the Germans enter a devastated city, encountering much less resistance than in OTL, and set up defences in the Volga River. Hitler is about to fire Von Paulus from his place as an army commander, but in the last moment the Reichmarshchall Himmler convinces him not to do it. The sector B of the Caucasian army (the one which did not get trapped in Stalingrad in OTL), is given most of the and transports from the A (Stalingrad) group to increase its mobility and maneuvers, since the group A does not need them now as they are settled in Stalingrad. A more rapid army travesses quickly the Kuban steppes and reaches the Caspian Sea in Machackla, cutting the Soviet front in 2. Defences are made in the North of this spear movement to repulse Soviet offensives. Local Caucasian population are taught about the Russian atrosicities committed in the Caucasian War of the last century, and we urge them to join the Wehrmacht to avenge their ethnia. Similar propaganda movements are made in Ukraine and the Baltics. Novorissysk is captured and Sochi is bombed from the air, thou not attacked. We purpose Italy to launch an invasion of Malta using paratroopers, to cut of English supplies across the Mediterranean. We purpose Spain to join the Axis powers, since we helped Franco in the civil war. About the situation in Sweden, caught us unexpected, and decide to occuppy key areas in Sweden to ensure that the rich Swedish iron mines do not stop supplying the German war effort. Most of the German factories are covered by a grey pieces of fabric when they are not active, so bombers can't detect them. We keep up with the innovations, as we launch a new weapon, the Panzerschreck, a weapon that a soldier can carry and launches a projectile with enough force to destroy a tank, however, it's still in test. Bombers are massively used across the Russian positions in the front, and we keep producing vast numbers of them.
Italy:
Italy now that it has Turkey as Axis, decides to make plans for Africa and Middle East. It will bring a way to stop Britain and also get the royal navy out of the Mediterranean Sea, It gives Franco a message to join the axis. And soon, its army grows up more. The Italian navy is stronger than ever, the leader Mussolini is proud of what the axis accomplished. And now, Italian soldiers plan to land in Egypt, which the British don't know about. The Italians also well have a plan for Africa by taking Afrika Korps across the continent and the navy, it goes to West Africa and fights Egypt in the east. So far, the Italians are trying their opportunity to beat the British out of Africa. The Middle East plans will be done later soon onward. It also sends bits of soldiers to help the Germans in the Caucasus. and Moscow. It also invades Malta and conquers it in a month. So far, the Italians hope the axis get a greater chance of winning the war, and so on. The Italians also get some soldiers from North Africa participating in some battles in the Atlantic. In El Alamein, flocks of soldiers come for strategic ways to capture Cairo. Enea Navarini is also mentioned about this.
Finland:
The Finnish Government secretly starts to talk with allied powers about liberation and to stop the hostilities with the Soviet Union, in the mean time, the militia and the partisans in Lapland are moving near the border with German-occupied Norway.
Soviet Union:
After the Soviet Union get Finland's telegrams, it accepts to stop hostilities. In St. Petersburg, a Nazi-surrounded city, one-fourth of the army was sent and after one week, the USSR liberated from Germany the areas surrounding St. Petersburg. As it realized Turkey is in the Axis, the USSR is starting to develop tanks, airplanes and boats to fight Germany and get a coast in the Black Sea, then attack Turkey from the north.
The USSR captured Tallinn from the Nazis using one-fourth of its army again, later, Stalingrad was defended by Russian forces, and it's being liberated, boats via St. Petersburg are sent to Riga, and it's sending boats to Greece to invade them.
Great Britain:
 The UK, Free France and USA start operation Torch two months early. Americans make landings in Vichy Africa, retaking it whole in about four days. The British help the Egyptians to try and capture Tripoli. A Majority of the Libya. With Saudi Arabian oil on our side, many soldiers manage to push into Turkey, capturing major cities, with Turkey unaware. The British have the idea of constructing the Nuclear Bomb, and start making it in Dumfries, Scotland in secret. Our military is dramatically increase to twice what is what before. Our Air force is increased to almost match the Germans. Bombings in Mainland Germany take place and the navy tries to bombard down the Atlantic Wall to get a quick advantage.
Sweden
The rebellion surprises the Swedish government, and they decide to try to make a deal with them. Sweden stops supporting the Axis, and the rebels stop. Some rebel groups agree, most in northern Sweden, but the rebels in the south don't trust the government and keep rebelling. A defensive line is put up around Stockholm, and troops on the border of occupied Norway advance. Sweden attempts to blockade the rebel areas in case a foreign nation tries to support them. The only part that is not blockaded is some of the northeastern part, but Sweden doesn't suspect Finland or the Soviets of wanting to support the rebels. The rebels are pushed back to a line around the city of Jönköping. This line is too well fortified to penetrate at the moment, but it is planned to be broken in a few months at most.

Turn closes on Thursday!

==== NPC/Random Events ====
* The Free Greek and Yugoslav Resistance erupt.
* Bulgaria faces rebels and is in Civil War
=== Player Events ===
*Germany: Sieg Heil! Heil das Führer un das vaterlands. This phrase to raise the leader repeats across the whole reich. Hitler decides to change it's mind and give more powers to the generals, thus making the German leadership more effective and allowing the soldiers to fight in better conditions. The Germans decide to keep the bombing of Britain, but they stop bombing the cities, why? Simple, in a moment, the German planes move away from the cities, the RAF, confident, decides to go back to their bases, later, the planes return after flying over the North Sea and strike the bases with the planes still in the ground, causing Britain to lose over 200 planes within the bombings, with only 19 German casualties (most of them by anti-air barrages). More bombers repeat that strategy, even if each time it results in fewer damages. The RAF is temporarly crippled, and the Luftwaffe is sent to the Eastern Front. Massive anti-air defenses are set in the German industrial areas to avoid any bomber to strike them. Germans begin to force part of the population of the occupied areas into factories in those, returning the industry to France, the Low Countries and Ukraine. Other part of the male population of those areas is incorporated in the German army as separate entities and sent to fight in Africa, Turkey and Norway.
*About the situation in Africa, Rommel is given full control of the Axis forces, and decides to concentrate in expelling the Anglo-Americans from Algeria. The forces have a similar amount of soldiers, however, the Allies (specially the American soldiers, who haven't fought a battle since the First World War) are really ill trained and have a lack of an active command. Rommel decides to let them advance until the city of Constantine. The Allies liberate the city, but later on, Rommel orders to pass around the city and close the allies within it. The city is later bombed and burned to the ground. The allied armies that try to scape are quickly shot by the superior German troops. A third of the army sent to the Operation Torch was destroyed and the allies had only 2.500 survivors.
*The corps sent to Turkey receive the order to take defenses in the Pontus Mountains, using the height of the mountains in their favour. The Luftwaffe, from it's base in Sevastopol, destroys the Soviet cargo ships in Pontus and subsecuently assaults all the remaining Soviet sea ports, concentrating in the harbours, which are 90% destroyed. With suministers low and demoralized, the Soviets suffer a massive attack from the Pontus. The Germans (those units were far-right and anti-communist french, thou) launch an attack using the height of the mountains to raze the Soviets. They are trapped between the armies and the sea and get annihilated as well. The army remains in that area.
*In Norway, part of the army is ordered to hold a defensive line based in Narvik, using guerrilla tactics in the mountains and using bunkers to stop the incoming Soviet-Finnish soldiers. In Sweden, a fortified line is built based on the Scandinavian mountains, which guards the Norwegian frontier. The heavy water factories from Norway are evacuated into Germany proper with all the designs there. The money stolen from the constant assaults into Russia and the Russian population are sent to fund the Uranienprojekt. In Sweden, the defense line in Linköpping holds well, and is reinforced with Norwegian soldiers under Vidkun Quisling, the leader of the Reichkomissariat Norway. From there, his army marches from Oslo, capturing Gothenburg and Christianstad, linking with the rebellion in Scania and managing to get the southern third of Sweden. In the captured iron mines, local people are forced to work there and all the iron is moved quickly to Germany, thus, increasing the industry.
*Hitler acuses Finland of being a traitor and orders a secret operation. As it seemed to be, the Finns have somewhat forgotten about the German Wehrmacht soldiers within the Finnish territory (they have been there since 1940, after the Winter War). The Soldiers march into Helsnki (which was previously bombed by the Luftwaffe) and coup the Finnish government, thus starting a civil war within the country. A provisional government with the support of the Wehrmacht is formed in the South, formed mainly of revanchists against the Soviets. Germans promise Karelia and Kola to that government if they win. Revolts spread into Turku and Oulu. The Kriegsmarine is evacuated to the Baltic Sea, in which they assault the Aland islands, building a massive air field there, and begin bombings of Stockholm, Uppsala, Visby, Tallin, Riga and the Finnish cities. The island of Vyborg is taken shortly after.
*Russian front: The Russian launched a massive kamikaze offensive in the Leningrad sector that reached Tallin and managed to land in Riga. A battalion of revanchist and nationalist Latvians supported by some elements of the Wehrmacht repels the Soviet attack over Riga. The soldiers that managed a vitory on the battle of the Pocket reach Novgorod and begin to march North in 2 columns. They reach the sea in Gatchina and Narva, cutting the Soviets and trapping them in a heavy pro-german Estonia, in which they suffer attacks from the native population and constant bombings by the Luftwaffe. Then, the army turns to the demoralized Soviets and pushes them to Tallin, closing them in the city under a brutal siege. Soviet casualty ratio raises to 13:1 (13 Soviet casualties by each German, an unsustainable number for the Red Army). Hitler decides that it's now or never to begin Operation Typhoon. The A group of the Caucasus is mostly moved to the center, whilst there are enough soldiers and defenses to stop any possible Soviet attempt of crossing the Volga. The armies meet close to Vorozhny and begin the march to Moscow, slaughtering all the Russian armies in the way, with special uses of the Panzerskrekh, a recently developed German version of the Bazooka, which cripples Soviet tank forces. The advance is solid and unstoppable. Russian population is treated badly, except those who show opposition to the Soviet regime. Most of the Russian civilian properties are stolen and sent to Germany proper. The Germans reach Tula and Tver, and begin to prepare for a massive encirclement of Soviet Soldiers in Moscow proper, which is bombed to the ground. In the Caucasus, the Germans capture the remaining isthmus and stop in the border of the Georgian and Azerbaijani SSR's.
Britain: 
The British Soldiers recover the troops of Operation Torch, and keep on sending them to the front. After half finishing the Dumbfries Project (The Atomic Bomb), The Brits don't worry as much as before. German U-boat are blown out of the Water by Torpedoes sent into the Ocean. France is fully blockaded and manage to bring down parts of the Atlantic Wall, making Holland and Parts of France fully vulnarable for invasion. British Planes manage to keep bombing Berlin. British paratroopers land in Norway and manage to advance and capture the Norwegian cities of Bergan and Trondheim, liberated what is now left of Norway. British soldiers march up to neck of Norway, meeting the Finns and Russians. German troops are pushed down and they retreat to Oslo. British and Egyptian troops march up to Tripoli with little resistance. Britain aids the Soviets through. Libya is fully occupied by Egyptian and British troops and we steamroll up Tunisia's capital, Tunis. Constantine is still being revived. British Soldiers arrive in Cyprus to defend the Island. The attack on Turkey is going successful and we manage to push Turkish troops up to Lake Van. British soldiers help the  Egyptianx secure Crete and capture the Peloponnese Peninsula with the Free Greek Resistance. Athens is being bombed. Oil from Iran and Saudi Arabia is sent to recover Turkish Occupied Armenia, which is successful.
Turkey
With Armenia being occupied by a joint German-Turkish invasion, Turkey sends an invasion force to liberate Trebizond. Nationalist propaganda makes more civilians sign up to join the army ranks. The Turks send a large force to push the allies fully out of Turkey, and advancements are made in Syria. With it being fully occupied, the Turkish government prematurely annexes Armenia. In an attempt to shatter the Soviet front in the Caucasus, the largest invasion by Turkey so far is made of Georgia. They are victorious in crushing any resistance and Tbilisi is captured.
Finland
After the German capture of Helsinki, the government escapes to Åland and sends the order to all remained troops to invade the nationalist forces in the south of the country. 
With the help of the Soviet Union, after a carpet bombing from both nations, Helsinki is soon liberated. After the liberation of the city, most of Soviet forces used in the liberation are immediately moved in the baltics, to help in the war against Germany. Some of those forces, by the way, remained in Finland, to defend the country. 
In the meantime, in the north of the country the partisans declared themselves independent as "The Socialist Republic of Lapland", and with the help of British troops they invaded the Norwegian region of Troms.
After the end of the Finnish civil war, the partisans signed a pact with the old Finnish government; they would join Finland until the end of WW2.
Some days later, 50 Finnish bombers started bombing the Estonian island of Hiiumaa and soon they conquer it.
Sweden
Sweden launches a major offensive against the rebellion after a week of planning. A mock offensive is put into play on the coast, and when they see the shift in the enemy lines, a massive attack at the center starts. 20,000 people die in the assault. The rebel lines are split in half and they start to panic. The defensive line is completely broken in 4 days, and paratroopers begin to land behind the broken lines. The rebels surrender on September 20th. Most rebel leaders are tried and found guilty for treason. Sweden celebrates. Sweden also begins sending a small amount of aid and supplies to Finland, but not to any other country. Sweden does not want to get involved in war at the moment, and will only support Finland unless provoked.
Soviet Union
The Soviet Union launches a major offensive in the Caucasus and attacks Turkey and Nazi controlled areas, the north of Turkey that is occupied by the USSR is connected to Soviet Caucasus. Via the Black Sea, ships are sent to Romania to fight them. USSR sends soldiers to Finnish land to protect Finland from the Nazis. In Latvia, troops are sent to fight and capture Riga, ships are sent to Tallinn via St. Petersburg which was captured, the Soviet troops are heading to Lithuania. A portion of the army fights the Nazis near Ukraine, capturing some land.
