Turn 4. Mar/Apr 1940. Axis #7.

The Germans finish off the Belgium army, capture Brussels and breach the Maginot line at Strasbourg. Ironically, the French Battleship Strasbourg was sunk earlier in the turn in the North Sea.

Turn 4. Mar/Apr 1940. Axis #7. German Reorg.

Most of the German ground units disorganized in taking Strasbourg are reorganized in a massive effort by Rundstedt and the Luftwaffe ATR squadron.

Turn 4. Mar/Apr 1940. Axis #7. Northern China.

The IJA is trying to breakthrough in the mountains southeast of Sian held by a Natchi MIL army. The odds are decent and it's the Natchi call on CRT. They call blitz and make the right call. The Natchi army not only survives but retreats one hex west still blocking the mountains south(west) of Sian. If instead the assault CRT had been chosen the Natchi army would have been lost, and though all the Japanese attackers would have been disorganized, no IJA units still would have been lost and the mountains south of Sian would have been unblocked.

Turn 4. Mar/Apr 1940. Axis #9. Faeroes Gap.

Thinking that storms would protect German u-boats from the massive allied fleet operating in the Faeroes Gap, the entire German u-boat fleet is order to the Faeroes Gap to break supply to the Home Fleet and maybe sink a carrier.

Well, at least one sea battle went the allies way this turn. The German u-boats pay the price for their commanders folly.

Turn 4. Mar/Apr 1940. Axis #13. The Bold German Offensive.

Turn 4. Mar/Apr 1940. Axis #13. Germany's Land Combat.

The German army performs very well in both attacks. No units are lost, Rundstedt's panzers breakthrough, capture Lille, cutoff the most of the BEF and von Bock forces take Metz.

Turn 4. Mar/Apr 1940. End of Turn. Destroyed and Repair Pools.

The turn comes to an end right after the German attacks.

Turn 4. Mar/Apr 1940. End of Turn. US Entry Pool.

The USA chooses options:

(23) Freeze Japanese assets, 1 chit moved from entry to tension,

(19) Resources to USSR, no chit moved.

Turn 5. May/June 1940. Manchuria. Korea.

Substantial Soviet and Japanese forces still staring eye to eye in the situation of an uneasy, and distrustful, peace.

Turn 5. May/June 1940. Eastern Libya. Egypt.

In Palestine, I would move the TERR to Tel Aviv. As it is, on a surprise impulse Haifa has a defense of zero. With the TERR adjacent, at least it has a defense of one.

Also, I would strongly consider moving the TERR in Port Said one hex west, and detaching the INF XX in Dalmatia to other duties. This would give 1 point of defense to both Dalmatia and Port Said, and the CW never has enough INF XXs to spend them on passive defense. As the only units that can be moved by SCSs, they are far too useful, both as threats to make amphibious raids, and as fire brigades against unexpected threats. Also, they are always the lead troops in attacks. (They have to be the lead troops. Otherwise, why would they die so often? [:)])

Good point ... will do. The British high command thanks you. [8D]
