Thank you, warspite1, that we didn't pick blitz on the Chinese attack.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I continue by destroying MIL and WLD and not entering the hex.

My thinking was that if we got lucky and retreated (not lost) and Japan was not disorganised then the Chinese is disorganised and out of supply - and dead meat anyway (if there is another impulse).

Indeed.

My thinking was that the last time we picked blitz in China it didn't work. [:D]

German rebases 2 fighters to front line.

I need to send file to AllenK if he wants to rebase Italian FTR or reorganize something.

Good night, I will have horrible nightmares of rolling only 1's in land combats [>:]

Edit: If turn ends, Germany places both markers to defense.

[Orm]

Good night. I hope you dream of your future plans instead.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

OK, this in my last message today.

No rebase/reorg for Italy or Japan.

On a 5 turn does not end.

[warspite1]

I don't think the Allies are needed anymore tonight so I too will say

Goodnight Jimbob, goodnight Grandpa, goodnight Mary-Ellen......

[Mayhemizer_slith]

When I woke up this morning I came to see if anything happened during the night. Accidentally I entered Allied AAR. Luckily I realized very soon that something is wrong. I turned off my phone and hard reseted it, so no need to worry[:)]

No probs. With hindsight we should have called them something else. Its to easy if the Allied or Axis AAR suddenly goes to the top to absent-mindedly click on.

Sep/Oct 1939
Impulse: 10


Land: China
Combined: USSR, USA, CW, France

CW port strikes the Italian Fleet at La Spezia. Unfortunately, the dies are not with CW. Italy rolls a one while CW rolls a four.

How will Italy use their 5 surprise points?

[AllenK]

The Italians deploy a smokescreen across the harbour to obscure the aim of the torpedo bombers (4 points to avoid combat, thanks).

Sep/Oct 1939
Impulse: 10

US transfers one CV from the West Coast to the East Coast. And sends out a couple of convoys between India and Phillipines.

CW sail a TRS loaded with Wavell, and escorted by HMS Ramillies, to the Bay of Biscay. CW also send two Belgian CPs to Cape St. Vincent.

Edit: I forgot to mention that the French fleet (4 ships) in Oran sail to the 4 box in West Med.

French fleet search for the German convoy in the Baltic Sea and finds it. The convoy take a severe beating and the remnants flee for a safe port. France rolled a 5 while Germany rolled a 7.

What port will Germany abort to?

[AllenK]

Stettin, thanks.

Sep/Oct 1939
Impulse: 10

France retreat, slowly, from the Maginot line. France also moves the Corps next to Oran towards Algiers.
China continues to move their nationalist forces North.
Poland forces attempt to encircle a disorganized German Corps but fail.
Wavell (HQA) land in Western France.

Polish forces counter attack a German Corps.
The Soviet Union liberate Teheran from the rebel forces.
France try to repel the Italian invasion force from Algiers.

The French navy bombard the Italian division in Algiers. (5 points)

Soviet bombers provide massive support to the attack on Teheran. (6 points)

[Orm]

The attack on Teheran was a success albeit the attacking forces were disorganized.

[Orm]

Next up is the French attack on Algiers. What combat table does Italy want to use?

[Orm]

And last the Polish counter attack. Assault or blitz?

[Orm]

And the result of the last two attacks will have to wait until tomorrow.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany chooses Blitz in Poland.
