Japs hit one of their targets

Perfect result in French Indo-China

Japan rails ENG to Tayuan.

Germany rails ART and 2x INF from Poland to France.

Italy rails INF HQ to France.

Germany prepares to attack MOT in France.

Italy takes Bordeaux and moves INF div to same hex with TER in Algeria.

Japanese INF HQ debarks to Hanoi.

Japan declares 5:1 attack near Hanoi supported by 2 points of ground support by carrier planes.

Germany declares 69:6 (automatic) attack vs MOT in France. CW can support MOT by sending Harrow with no escorting planes. Germany can intercept with 5 point Bf109. I guess no planes are flying?

In the absence of Orm I will say no to flying the Harrow on a suicide mission.

So the Heinkel flying-boats carry level bombs just as good as they do the anti-shipping torpedoes. I never noticed that. I'm not sure if that reflects better on the Kriegsmarine, or the Luftwaffe, but it kinda makes sense since they hated each other.

I bet they just dropped mines.

German attack is automatic and Japanese attack goes well too.

Japan rebases NAV to Tungkwan.

Germany rebases Stuka and Ju52 to SW France, NAV near Brest.

Italy rebases SM.81 to Western France and FTR in Italy one hex east.

Here is France after M/A 1940 Axis impulse 1.

No declarations of war.

Land: China
Combined: USSR, USA
Naval: France, CW

No Port Strikes. No naval air.

US transport one garrison to Pago Pago.

The British ships in Algiers leave port. Will Italy intercept?

In the absence of Mayhemizer and AllenK I have been authorised to make their decisions.

Do not intercept. Instead proceed to scrap this and all Italian, German and Japanese units immediately. The three countries are seeking peace, and in a sign of their good intentions they are to unilaterally scrap all war-making material forthwith and disband their armed forces.

The three dictators have given an unreserved apology for being so naughty and have agreed to pay massive reparations.

They have also announced unequivocally that Orm and warspite1 have won this game. They thought they could get away with taking over the world, but in breaking news, Hitler has this to say:

"yeah and we would have gotten away with it too if it hadn't been for those pesky kids Orm and warspite1".

Almost correct. But...

Italy intercepts and sends bomber to box 2 with fighter.

You'll have to excuse my poor Finnish. I was certain I heard it right....[:D]

You need to pay more attencion. "Upota kaikki vihollisen laivat" is not that hard [;)]

The Italian fighter fail to find the Allied ships (10 rolled). The ships continue to Bay of Biscay where a MOT is loaded.

Mar/Apr '40
Allied #3

CW and France send out plenty of convoy escorts. Home Fleet sail for Bay of Biscay (A carrier with 2 cruisers in the 4 box and the battleships in the 3 box). The Queens sail for Bay of Biscay as well (3-box) where they load a militia from England. Another transport sail from England, loaded with a infantry, to Cape St Vincent.

CW bombs Taranto for no effect (3 rolled).

No ground strikes.

China rail a garrison to Kweilin. USSR rail a MECH from Persia to Novgorod.

China retreat out of Indo-China.

No land combats.

CW rebase a CVP from HMS Courageous to HMS Glorious. CW also rebase a fighter to Plymouth and a naval bomber to Barrow.

No reorganization.

And the rainy weather continues.

M/A 40 Axis 5

No DoW

German land, Italy and Japan combined.

Italian LND to West Med box 2 and Bay of Biscay box 1.

Japanese AMPH to Sea of Japan, loaded with MIL and TRS to China Sea loaded with AA gun. (I reserve the right to make changes for TRS and AA gun move if AllenK don't want to move it, he has not yet answered to me).

Italy initiates combat in Bay of Biscay, Germany intercepts with FTR and NAV.

Both sides declines combat in West Med (French sub and Italian planes in the sea area).

Any CW planes want to join the naval combat? CW has no planes in box 0.

CW send out two fighters from England and the naval bomber (all to 0-box).

Axis plan does not work: Axis 10, Allied 8.
