Nov/Dec 1939
Impulse: 1

The sub re-bases in Okhotsk - well away from the Japanese.

The Germans pile west as fast as they can - otherwise that is that.

[Orm]

France and CW take a naval while USSR take a land impulse.

No Port Strikes. No naval air.

CW transport a garrison to Gibraltar. Home Fleet patrol the North Sea. Two TRS loaded with INF move to the North Sea. Plenty of convoy escorts leave port.

France send a empty TRS to Cape St. Vincent. A couple of battleships patrol the North Sea. France also escort some convoys.

CW bombs Hamburg for no effect. Why I bother eludes me at the moment.

China rail a militia from Kunming to Nanning. USSR rail a militia from Europe to Siberia.

China liberate Wuhan. Communist China take back a resource in Northern China.

Nov/Dec 1939
Impulse: 3

The Japanese put a cruiser fleet into the Japanese Coast
Three fully loaded transports are employed in the South China Sea

An Italian sub sails for the Italian Coast.

The Japanese rail an HQ to Peking
The Germans rail units to the west.

The Japanese seek to crowd the Chinese west of Kweillin.
The Germans move units west as much as the rain will allow - thankfully the Autobahn's are more reliable than the British motorways....

The Japanese announce an attack west of Kweillin and bring in a bomber to get 3:1 odds. There are no modifiers. I think I can safely assume the Chinese will go for the Assault table [:D].

Its a 10. That was a weird experience. I have been using dice for this game (as I do not like the random generator in the game) and for the first time I threw a 0. My immediate reaction was 0=bad and it took a second or two to realise that 0-10....[X(] What do you know? The computer "threw" a 9 anyway.

That was a risky attack, but felt I needed some momentum after the previous Japanese failure.

The Japanese re-base a couple of carrier aircraft onto their fleet carriers Soryu and Akagi.

Nov/Dec 1939
Impulse: 7

The Germans decide to declare war on Belgium.

Ormster can you confirm where you wish to set up - save me having to e-mail? I assume you will be aligning with the CW?

[peskpesk]

Hmm, with the right setup the Dyle riverline will not be breached the first surprise impulse. No para and no access from Rotterdam hex...

Two land combats are announced - Liege and Nanning.

The Liege attack is automatic and for Nanning I send in a bomber to try and increase the fractional odds chances of getting a 4:1.

I assume the Assault table for the attack in China?

[Orm]

I assume the Assault table for the attack in China?

Yes, assault is fine.

[warspite1]

Nov/Dec 1939
Impulse: 7

The attack on the Chinese produces another 10. Furthermore there is no US penalty for taking the city.

The Japanese re-base carrier aircraft nearer their carriers [8|] and the Germans move Luftwaffe units west.
