The Finnish, unlawful, occupation of Karelia has been accepted because we are a peace loving nation, but the Finnish oppression of the Karelian people has increased in its brutality. The Karelian people cry out for help to end their suffering and free them from the Fascist Finnish imperialism that has been forced upon them.

Furthermore, the vicious and reactionary Fascist clique in Finland continue to provoke and threaten the good people of Leningrad. We can not tolerate that Finland, at the whim of the Fascists, can bombard Leningrad. The peace loving Russian people of Leningrad demand safety and that the Finnish threat ends now.

The Soviet people demand action and cry out "Enough". But the Communist Party abhors violence and we are a peace loving nation, so therefore we ask that this can be settled peacefully. Let the Karelian people have their say and let them join the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

Freedom for Karelia now!

USSR claim the Finnish Borderlands! Let them join us! The people cry out for freedom! The slavery of the Karelian people ends now!

Free Karelia now!

[Orm]

For clarification: USSR claims the Finnish border lands.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Claim is allowed. Plans was not to allow, but your mighty forces made me to scare you...

[Orm]

Claim is allowed.

Damn. [:)]

We looked forward in knocking Finland out.

And it looked to be an interesting campaign as well.

Oh, well, we can't have it all. [:D]

[Orm]

I can not access the die roller. [:(]

[Orm]

No declarations of war.

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

No Port Strikes. No naval air.

France send a battleship to Cape St Vincent.

No strategic bombing. No ground strikes.

USSR railed a unit from Karelia to the West Front.

USSR claim the Baltic States. No reaction from USA (10 rolled).

In Northern China the Nationalists order a offensive and the forces slowly march northwards.

In Spain the Allied forces retreat towards Gibraltar.

No land combats. No reorganization.

(In Northern Spain, CW only moved the Spanish MECH, during the previous Allied impulse)

[AllenK]

J/A 40 Axis 5

No DoW or alignments.

Germany Land. Italy & Japan Combined.

The Italians initiate searching in West Med with the Atr. Do the CW wish to fly any of the gaggle available?

[Orm]

So no naval air and no naval movement by Italy?

[AllenK]

No, none.

[Orm]

No air support in the West Med.

[AllenK]

I take a punt and decline to commit the French sub on the Allies behalf.

Searches: Axis 6, Allies 9. NE

The Germans send Stukas and Do-17's to ground strike Wavell. Do any of the fighters from Gibraltar wish to intervene?

[Orm]

Do any of the fighters from Gibraltar wish to intervene?

Yes, the Hurricane.

If it survive, land it in Tangier.

[AllenK]

The Germans counter the Hurricanes with a Me-109.

The Me-109's arrive late on the scene and the Hurricanes get a free shot at the first wave of Do-17's with unfortunate results for the bombers.

I presume at this point the RAF will conclude they have done their bit and gracefully retire to the pavilion?

[Orm]

CW stay.

((Do remember that one killed German pilot is to be changed so it survives. For the synth fixing thingie))

[AllenK]

Okay, thanks, need to re-do the combat to save the pilot.

Short break before round 2.
