Came to mind at this points: Do we have rail road moving included? Can German INF take Copenhagen?
Yes, and yes.

Denmark aligns (probably very briefly) with CW. CA's and the minimum amount of CP's to satisfy the rules to Fredrickshavn (or some such spelling). The rest of the CP's to Iceland.

For the port strike against Liverpool the die rolls are 6 and 8. SO CW end up with 4 surprise points. How does CW wish to allocate the surprise points?

Sep/Oct 1939
Impulse 9 (Allied)


The Luftwaffe orders an attack on the port of Liverpool where two aircraft carriers are believed to be undergoing refits. The Heinkel floatplanes take-off in clear weather but, when they reach Manchester they are greeted with usual Mancunian weather. The German pilots manage to navigate their way to Liverpool but drop their bombs wherever they can. They manage to kill 22 prisoners of Walton prison, but do no damage to the naval shipping in the dockyard.

[The German attack (at least) looks like much ado about nothing so please spend the 4 surprise point on avoiding combat].


The Germans drop rude looking bombs on Liverpool at the start of the war. Fortunately for all their size, they prove a tad ineffective - although this one took a heavy toll on the once pristine lawn of Mr Jones from No.43 Arcacia Avenue. The British UXB countermeasures were pretty effective too. The UXB Corps were elite, with very high barriers to entry. One needed to be over 7 foot tall to pass the entry criteria...

Italy allocate all available surprise points to increase the damage made on the French carrier.

The French TRS is damaged. How will France allocate the second damage result?

It would be appreciated if a target of the second 'A' result could be allocated in advance.

Seems to be lots going on in the four games. I am out from about 12:20 to circa 2:30 but otherwise am generally around today and tomorrow. How is everyone else fixed for today/tomorrow?

About the same times for me today. Tomorrow afternoon I expect to be out around two to four hours to watch some footie.

No naval air.

Germany send three convoy points to the Baltic Sea.

A Italian cruiser force sail to the East Med.

Italian submarines sail to the West Med, Cape St. Vincent, Gulf of Guinea.

And Italy send out a picket cruiser to the Italian Coast.

Four sea areas up for naval combat.

First up is the East Med. The Italian force has no clue where the Allied forces are located (die roll: 9). But the CW force search up the Italians for a friendly rendezvous (die roll: 2).
