Plenty of Naval moves should be obvious.

Axis may search CVB, doubt you will need save?

Commies move to attack and a couple moves for the Nationalists.

Pretty obvious air support is to be used here, however the table might not be as obvious.

Axis Choice?

LND2 gives defensive support. Land whence.

Japan will make it a blitz combat.

Japan will close the Burma Road.

Germany will DOW Belgium.

Will Belgium align to France, or CW?

How are the Belgian units to be placed?

Alternatively - roll for US entry, place the units, and send us a new save.

Closing the Burma road annoyed the US (3).

The US was so focused on what is happening in China that they ignore events in Europe (10).
