Hold on - scrap that - I'm just checking something!

Question:

If the Belgian FTR is in the UK in the Conquest step when Brussels and Liege are occupied, I assume:

1. The aircraft is not removed from the game but fights on with the CW?
2. If involved in an attack with the CW the -1 modifier would apply?

1) Indeed.
2) No. The modifier does not apply.

Also note that the aircraft can be removed in their new home country and then the pilot can use another CW aircraft.

Ok. I will use it unless you change it before I get around to actually do my impulse.

Edit: Not that there is much one can do for Belgium with German units in Rotterdam, fine weather, and a German paratrooper on standby.

Here is the Belgian set-up (with the CP in Belgian Congo).

Germany declare war on Belgium. US Senate in uproar and demand that actions must be taken to assist Great Britain and France in their struggle for a democratic Europe.

Edit: Will you use this setup and align Belgium to CW?

Yessir

Both Japan and Germany take a land impulse.

No Port Strikes. No naval air. No naval movement. No strategic bombing.

Germany ground strike the Belgian air force.

No rail movement.

Germany make three attacks in Belgium.

Japan make two attacks in China. One against the Communists and one against the Nationalists.

Will Mao provide defensive HQ support?

Edit: I should add that the engineer negate the river effect.

The Japanese assault on Chihkiang fail to capture the city.

The French and CW are declaring war vs the Italians and the USSR will claim Bessarabia.

Can I ask you to:

1. Confirm Reserves starting position?
2. Will Romania allow the Claim?

1) Infantry in Genoa and garrison in Turin.
2) Romania allows the claim.

The US are a tad upset at the Allies growing a set and taking it to the Axis. "wot yo problem homie? we is tryin' to win dis war innit?" exclaims Winston.

The Chinese take a land, the French a naval, the CW a combined as do the neutrals.

You mind me asking if it was one or two US entry chits that were removed?
