Witness to World War 2.

Turn 36. Jul/Aug 1945. Axis #4.

IJN Naval Moves. The primary objective for the two Japanese naval moves (1 CP to Sea of Japan and 2 CP's to the China Sea) was to restore supply across the straights to the home island of Shikoku. The "extra" CP in the China Sea is for the off chance that the allies fail to find there for the rest of the turn, which then would allow the Japanese to ship to oil points from the South China Sea back to Japan. Also assumed is that the 2 CP's in the South China Sea survive too.

Turn 36. Jul/Aug 1945. Allied #5.

Western Allies. Railing East (1/3). Patton and his HQ-A are railed from Western Europe to Korea through Soviet controlled territory (and with the permission of the Soviets of course).

[rkr1958]

Turn 36. Jul/Aug 1945. Allied #5.

Western Allies. Railing East (2/3). Since the Brits only get 2 rail moves, which isn't enough to rail a unit from Western Europe to Korea in one impulse, Monty and his HQ-A are railed to Ulan-Ude to set up a rail head. This rail head will serve as an intermediate stop for allied troops being railed from Europe into the PTO. Eventually, Monty and his HQ-A will be railed into Korea for action in Japan.

Turn 36. Jul/Aug 1945. Allied #5.

Western Allies. Railing East (3/3). "Needing" to get French troops to Asia (specifically French Indo-China) and the Pacific, Georges and his HQ-I establish also establishes a railed head deep into Soviet Asia.

FYI. Monty and Georges are both need to "satisfy" foreign troop commitment requires for any non-HQ British and French units, respectively, that "stop" in the Soviet Union on their way to the Pacific.
