The Germans size up an attack on Poznan and the division holding the forest between Krakow. The Polish navy is overrun. The destroyer escapes to Plymouth (7 thrown) and the convoy is destroyed (3 thrown)

Over to AllenK for the Italians and Japanese

[AllenK]

The Italians simply swap the positions of the MECH in Libya with Balbo.

The Japanese bring the HQ, MOT and CAV from the Manchurian border into China. In the South, they advance on the Kunming MIL.

[AllenK]

The Germans make the two attacks mentioned. Japan attacks the Kunming MIL. A Ki-32 from Canton adds two factors of ground support and lands back from whence it came. Final odds.

[AllenK]

The Japanese attack has to be assault otherwise it's automatic.

Job done. The 8-3 and 6-3 INF's take the vacant hex.

[AllenK]

The two German attacks are automatic.

Poznan - the 6-4 MOT and the 8-5 ARM move into the city
Forest Hex - the 7-3 INF moves into the forest

Rebase

Ju-52 to Dusseldorf
He-112 to Rostock
Ju-87B to Poznan

Nothing from Japan or Italy.

No reorganisation.
