[professorhex]

The British use the combined action to reinforce Frederikshaven with tough militia and fighters.

The Dutch fleet leaves Rotterdam for North Sea 0 box.

[professorhex]

Zhukov is slowed by difficult weather in Persia, and there is no improvement.

End of impulse.

[Centuur]

Zhukov has made a mistake. He should not have attacked the Persian CAV, but move his fast CAV division along the coast towards Teheran and use another unit to prevent the Persian CAV to move south. If he had done so, he would have a free ride to Teheran and get to the place in three impulses maximum, provided the first turn had fine weather in Persia...
