France:
General Command orders an immediate counterattack against the German breakthrough. However, as chaos and panic reigns among the French units, and with communications breakdown, there is no attack. Even the orders to the air force to bomb the German spearhead was lost in the confusion. Some units hold, while most retreats. See picture, or save, for the result of the chaos.

I was apprehensive about a counterattack. Three things needed to go right for you though(ground strikes get through the German air cover, actually hit with the strike, and a good, but not great roll on the attack against the 9-4 and AA gun in the Belgian woods), so I took solace in that. Of course, any of those steps failing would simply hasten the fall of France.

I must say that the defense of France deployment, with the large presence of the BEF in the North, is very stout. It's probably the best I've ever seen. Had the breakthrough not succeeded in Reims, I was prepared to use a second offensive chit immediately. France still may hold, at least deep into 1940 or even beyond, but the German high command was in panic mode at the end of the May/June turn.

Land actions for Japan and Germany, combined for Italy.

No naval air. Italy moves a loaded transport into the two box of West Med and searches.
