The German attack is 7:1, and the Japanese is 5:1. Assault is assumed for both attacks.

Perhaps assault in China is not as given as I previously thought?

Will USSR select assault, or blitz, in China?

The Chinese Red Army is destroyed, but all the attackers are disorganized. A result, I suspect, that both sides find acceptable but not as good as they had hoped for.

Both Germany, and Italy, declare war on Greece. No other DOWs.

Will you roll the US entry, place the Greek units, and mail us a new save?

Or tell us how to place the Greeks?
