Both sides stay but the Italian submarines decide to avoid further combat and are not included.

No strategic bombing.
Japan launch two ground strikes. One against the Nationalist South of Sian and the other against Chihkiang.
Germany launch two ground strikes against the main French line and Italy launch one against the French reserves.
The Italian artillery bombard the isolated French garrison in the Alps.
France has one fighter on standby. Will it be used to intercept any of the incoming bombers?

The first ground strike goes well although the main target was missed.

The Italians continue to waste oil and ammunition.

The German Stuka pilots show how it is done.

Although the Italians decide to prove that their artillery is as useful as their bombers.

The Japanese are stunned by the success of their air forces.

More reorganisation of forces takes place.

The order of battle is as follows:

Impulse: 5 (Axis)
Air Transport: None
Paradrop: The II Fliegerkorps take to the skies in their antiquated Tante-Ju's and head for a drop zone northwest of Vichy.
Do the French wish to respond? They have a 4-quality MS406. The Germans/Italians can intercept with a 5-quality Bf-109, a 4-quality CR.42 and a 3-quality Bf-110.

The Luftwaffe call JG2 in to escort the Ju-52's.
Round 1
Allied (12) - AC - The German pilots do their primary job and stop the French air force from getting to the transports.
Axis (11) - AC - The Germans are so keen to stick close to the transports that they are unable to make their superior performance count.
The French aircraft land northwest of Paris, while the German fighters land back from whence they came. The paratrooper is dropped.

What about HQ Support? You have Georges or Billotte - or both?

France goes all in. History will remember this day as the day when Germany was stopped. Or the day when France really tried.
Both HQs use support (if it matters in both attacks). And bomber will fly, I just need to know odds to tell target.
