Power's Edge: World War II 1941 - International News for Turn 12

From the NewsWire:

From the Grapevine:

A secret message has leaked! One Leader reportedly sent this message to another:

Camrad Josef, I am aware that you have reasons to chase German armies in hope of annexing most of Europe under your strong communist lead. Thus your recent attacks came with no real surprise. I am also quite aware that soon the American will send troops to join the British, the war in the Pacifist Ocean being close to be over. If the time just runs, we will block each other letting American and British take Europe from the West. I will lose and you'll be ranked far below American and maybe even below British. Western regimes will prevail and there will be no place left for my regime, and little place left for yours. If that is your objective for your country, then let it be. Though I would expect you have higher objectives and wish to see a strong communist world: the only way for this objective to come true is now to join me and help me having American lose their lead from their victory over Japan. The choice is yours, though I await a clear and final answer at once. With my military respect, Adolf

Emissaries of W2-Neutrals carry this message to all:

I'd be happy to set the game back a few turns (before the mess started), or restart, or continue - email me privately with your preferences! - Bob
