Bob Flemin' and Orm. A World... AARse II

[Orm]

The Chinese grumble that to large area to defend and to few units to do it.

[Orm]

CW scrap plenty of units as well. Maybe to many TRS were scrapped but that is a concern for the future.

[Orm]

It is somewhat easier to place the CW convoy route when playing without the oil rule. But somehow I am never happy with the result when I am done. [:D]

[Orm]

Not much to say about the CW setup. Three carriers alongside three fast battleships was placed in Gibraltar as well as several cruisers. Aden, Liverpool and Portsmouth are the other major naval bases for CW.

CW was a bit unlucky in their fighter draws since no 5 strength fighter was available for placement. [:(]

And here is a picture of HMS Warspite for my opponent.

[Orm]

A picture of the units that France scrapped.

[Orm]

France respond to the Italian aggression by placing several units in the French Alps.

The French CVP was placed in the reserve pool in order to make the pilot available for reinforcement the next turn.

[warspite1]

The Japanese scrap few units - mostly the rubbish fighters and Carrier FTR and NAV.

[warspite1]

The Japanese abandon Central China and take adopt a southern strategy instead.

[warspite1]

The Soviets practically abandon Vladivostok.

[warspite1]

The Germans dispose of their rubbish fighters and three worst u-boats.

[warspite1]

The Germans line up ready to take on the Poles.....

While in the west - an early Weserubung-Sud beckons

[brian brian]

well the Allies will certainly have to take the Ruhr the historical way - by going around it.

Can we get a fly-out on the .... err, that request will wait till the Poles set-up.

Shock news has just come in from Munich, where a conference to try and avert war has been going on all week-end [X(]

That was obviously some sort of misunderstanding. Stalin had agreed to cede the Soviet claims on Western Poland to Germany.

[warspite1]

Hitler takes the misunderstanding well....

[warspite1]

Orm - if its easier just to tell me what Poles to place where (rather than mucking about with e-mails) we can do it that way - just let me know.

I'll mail the Polish set up shortly.

Germany declared war on Poland and US reacts with horror. (2 US chits drawn)

The Polish High Command lacks inspiration when preparing for the German onslaught.
