Jan/Feb 1940
Impulse: 7

One attack is announced - that against the Chinese 1st Cavalry.

The odds are 26.5:3 or 7:1. Does Chiang bring HQ support to bear?

[Orm]

No, thank you.

Jan/Feb 1940
Impulse: 7

I needed to use Terauchi to get decent odds but I gamble on a half decent throw and do not use HQ Support.

The Japanese bring in a bomber to add one point to the attacking odds.

What table do the Chinese use?

Edit: Sorry - has to be Assault or its an automatic victory.

[Orm]

Assault.

No need to ask every time. Especially not when the other table is a automatic attack. Anyway. Thank you for asking. [:)]

Maybe you could take a peek on game 4 and decide if the HQ will be taken as a loss or not.

Edit: To late as usual. [:D]

Jan/Feb 1940
Impulse: 7

The throw is a 6 and the cavalry is destroyed.

[Orm]

Well this weather is really something else. I make it that - impulse 1 of the first turn aside - there has been one decent weather impulse so far - and that was the end of the turn when all units were disorganised.

The Chinese grumble over that the weather turned the swamp into a forest. Couldn't the weather be better so that the swamp remained wet? [;)] [:D]

Jan/Feb 1940
Impulse: 7

The Japanese re-base a couple of FTR units.

The throw is a 9 and the turn continues.

[Orm]

Jan/Feb 1940
Impulse: 10

All Allied nations pass and have 60% chance to end the turn. The turn ends since the die roll was a 4.

No partisans.

Will you mail me your end of turn orders?

[warspite1]

Scrub that [:D] [8|]

[Orm]

I have a feeling that I missed something. [:)]

[warspite1]

You did - I asked if there were any Partisans.....[8|]

CW give one resource to China and three to France. US give one resource to China.

[Orm]

Allies won the initiative roll. Will Axis demand a re-roll?


Picture from Mar/Apr 40 - Initiative

[warspite1]

Yeah why not?

[Orm]

Axis wins the re-roll with a small margin.

Edit: Axis moves first since they wanted a re-roll.

[Orm]

The new weather roll was a 4 that was modified to a 6.

Impulse: 1

The Japanese close the Burma Road - and the US is not happy about it.

The Germans declare war on Holland. Where do the Dutch wish to set up?

[Orm]

Netherlands align with CW and set up as follows.

The INF in Amsterdam.
Five SCS and 1 CP in Rotterdam.
5 CP in Padang, Sumatra.
NEI territorial, TRS and SUB in Batavia, Java.
4 CP in Paramaribo, Dutch Guyana.

----

Any surviving Dutch ships that rebase after being overrun try to reach Liverpool.

Question:

I saw that you were giving resources to China so I have closed the Burma Road. Does closing this mean that the US cannot now give resources to China? Just want to check that the US neutral status does not allow them to do so (I do not think it does). Thanks.

Closing the Burma Road stops USA from delivering resources to China as well. This is via the Burma Road or French Indo-China. If China liberate another route, like Canton, then the Allies can transport resources that route even with the Burma Road closed.

After the Burma Road is politically closed it can not be used to transport resources until US is at war with Japan or the Burma Road is reopened (option 24).
