I was doing a sporadic play-by-play for some friends over Discord, and I figured I'd share the highlight entries from the last five days of the game.
My country was Ukraine (Axis Doctrine), and there were no major features being tested at the time, so it was a pretty bog-standard 1.5 game.
The story will span the first few posts in the thread thanks to the forum not liking large images.
Enjoy.

Clash of Nations, 1939 (22-Players)
Nation: Ukraine [Technology Doctrine: Axis]
Day 13
The Americans and Spain have conquered the west, while an alliance of Sweden, Tsarist Russia, Ukraine, and Egypt control the east. As of 0800 on Day 12, Spain and the Northern and Southern United States are at war with Egypt; as of 0800 on Day 13, Russia and Sweden have declared war and counterattacked. Ukraine remains undeclared, but is preparing to support our allies.
At first glance, Ukraine is woefully unprepared. We have tanks and infantry in spades, as well as a respectable Black Sea navy; however, we are distinctly lacking in advanced units, and AA guns to fend off the westerners' air forces.
However, nothing ventured is nothing gained; our forces shall be tested in the fires of battle in short order, and every Ukrainian lost will be replaced with three of his brothers thirsting for blood and vengeance.
The newly-formed Ukrainian North Africa Corps will likely be the first to engage against Western forces, followed shortly by the Black Sea Fleet engaging the American fleet in the Mediterranean. Further forces will join our Swedish and Russian comrades in driving on Iberia via France, though some troops will be held in reserve to defend Sweden and its German holdings.
Ukrainian U-boats shall also proceed through the Strait of Gibraltar prior to the declaration(s) of war and will commence raiding against Western shipping in the Atlantic.
In conclusion, the primary objectives of the current campaign are 1.) The total destruction of Spain as a military power and a nation, and 2.) The ejection of American military forces from the European and African continents.
