Sep/Oct 1940
Impulse: 13 (Axis)

Declarations of War and Alignments: None

Japan: Land
Germany: Land
Italy: Combined

Port Attack: None
Naval Air:
Italy

A flying boat moves to the Italian Coast 4-box
A Sparviero moves to the Italian Coast 2-box

Naval Movement:
Italy

A fleet put to sea and takes up position in the 2-box of the Italian Coast. I don't intercept as its obvious they are to remain in the sea area. Two TRS are among the fleet and they have picked up a GARR and an INF.

No combat is initiated. The CW has three subs in the area. What do they want to do?

[Orm]

No naval combat. Thank you.

Impulse: 13 (Axis)

Strategic Bombing: None
Ground Strike:
Japan

The Japanese try and make a dent in the defender of Ankang with 2 x 1 factor bombers

Germany

A couple of 5-factor stukas attempt to ground strike southwest of Reims.

The Chinese have a fighter and the Japanese can counter intercept any interception with the 3 fighters in the picture. Do the Chinese counter?

From what I can see the French have the 3 fighters shown and the Germans/Italians can counter with those seen plus another 5-factor fighter. What do the French want to do?

[GeneralAdvance]

The French send their VG-33 to shoot down the Stukas and then land in Paris.[:)]

[peskpesk]

The Chinese decline to intercept, thx.

Sep/Oct 1940
Impulse: 13 (Axis)

Ground Strike: Air to Air combat subphase. The Germans need the stukas through, the French need them shot down so no reason not roll together.

Round 1

Allies - 18 (DXPX) The front stuka is shot down and the Germans lost the pilot
Axis - (AC) Effectively no effect

Round 2

Allies - 18 (DXPX) The front stuka is shot down and the Germans lost the pilot
Axis - 15 (DX) The French fighter is shot down and the pilot survives.

Impulse: 13 (Axis)

Rail Movement: None
Land Movement:
Germany

The Germans gather for an attack south or Reims

Japan

The Japanese move on Ankyang

Debark:
Italy

The Italians land in Sardinia

Land Combat:
Germany

One attack announced 37:10 3:1 I don't know the modifiers. Do the French want to use HQ support?

Japan

One attack against Ankyang 25.2:12 2:1. No aircraft for the Japanese. The Chinese can use their fighter as a bomber - same counter-interception as above. Do the Chinese fly?

[GeneralAdvance]

Yes Bilotte supports please[:)]

[Orm]

No, the Chinese do not fly.

[warspite1]

The Germans bring in 5 bombers worth 14 points. Do the French fly? Same as above for aircraft less what flew last time (there is also a 3 factor fighter that can fly if the Potez is a bomber.

[GeneralAdvance]

No flying please

[warspite1]

The HQ Support fails (6 thrown) so that leaves a 2:1 no modifiers in China and a 5:1 +2 in France (Blitz)

What table do the Chinese want?
