Impulse: 1 (Axis)


Rail Movement: None
Land Movement:
Japan

Lol! Fell at the first hurdle. Looks like I need to get used to the HQ movement thingy [&:] Japanese first move on Chengchow hasn't gone as planned.... oh well.

Germany

The Polish destroyer and the convoy both head for the UK (5 and 6 thrown) and I place with the fleet in Portsmouth.

Land Combat:
Germany

Three attacks are announced. Two automatic either side of Lodz-Warsaw and an attack on Lodz which I assume to be on the assault table.

No HQ Support
No Ground Support

The fractionals fail (647 thrown) but the Germans take Lodz (a 9(10) is thrown).

I lost the pictures of the two automatics....but here is the Lodz attack.
