Next its Poznan and another automatic attack - even with the Assault table.

The third attack is in the forest north of Warsaw, and the the presence of von Rundstedt makes this automatic too.

Sorry I forgot to say - the Polish Destroyer Flotilla was captured by the 35th Infantry Corps, but the CP escaped to the UK (Liverpool).

And that leaves the attack on Lodz at 5:1+1 (Assault)....

a 6(7) is thrown and Lodz falls.

And so to the one attack in China. Its 3:1 and I am assuming Assault.

[Orm]

I'll take blitz unless it is to late. [:)]

Not it's not - blitz it is. I throw a 3 and assume the worst [:@] but instead the Chinese is destroyed at the cost of disorganisation.

So that was a bad call on my part. [:D]

Edit: Why couldn't you have rolled a 4 instead. [;)]

Sep/Oct 1939
Impulse: 1

I decide not to reorganise my Stuka with von Bock but do reorganise 3 units with Umezu.

Bloody Hell! The Western Allies have finally grown a set and declared war on Germany. Hitler is not amused and calls out the reserves. Roosevelt does not take kindly to this action either.

...or a 10 [;)]

[Orm]

CW and France take naval actions.

CW port strike the German fleet but I still wonder why I even bother. The surprise roll was a two so the port strike had no effect worth mentioning.


Picture from Sep/Oct 39 Impulse #2 (Allied) - Port Strike

[Orm]

No naval air.

Home Fleet sail to the North Sea. 16th Indian Corps is transported to Alexandria. Brittish troop transports sail to the North Sea and load embark BEF.

France bomb Dusseldorf for no effect.

No ground strikes. No rail movement.

China liberate Nanching. China advance cautiously towards Hainan.

Nimitz relocate to Honolulu.

The Polish airforce disband and the pilots flee for England.

No reorganization.

To the joy of Germany the Autumn rains begin. [;)]

[warspite1]

Sep/Oct 1939
Impulse: 3

I had hoped I could take out the HQ but not now. Bad weather in the Northern Monsoon too [:(]. Oh well, let's see what is possible for the Axis this impulse.

No declarations of war. The Japanese take a combined and the Germans a land.

The Imperial Guard are sent to Hainan.
The rest of the Japanese TRS capacity is sent to the China Sea.

Sep/Oct 1939
Impulse: 3

The Japanese use their 3 moves to shuffle units in the north and to take the port of Wenchow in the south.

The Germans surround Warsaw for a 5:1 + 1 attack.

[warspite1]

Sep/Oct 1939
Impulse: 3

I think I am going to use dice from now on...

Its a 3(4) and the Germans only gain Warsaw because the Poles cannot retreat. All units are turned face down.

Sep/Oct 1939
Impulse: 3

von Rundstedt and von Bock reorganise as many land units as they are able; von Leeb is a waste of space....

[Orm]

No declarations of war.

CW and France go with combined.

No Port Strikes. No naval air.

CW send out a couple of convoy points and France abort their troop transport to France.

USSR occupy Eastern Poland.

China liberate Wuhan.

Gort and 4th Corps land in France.

No land combats. No reorganization.

Sep/Oct 1939
Impulse: 7

The Germans and Japanese choose Land actions and while the Germans shuffle the remaining organised units west as quickly as they can, the Japanese can only tool around in the mud....

The Japanese announce one attack - that north of Wenchow on a 3:1. What table do the Chinese choose?

I'll take assault, thank you.

No need to ask when I am not online.
