What about the Soviet rail move? Rail the cav division to the Finnish border?

Edit: Never mind. That rail route is not yet open.

Edit2: Timoshenko instead?

warspite1

Yes - that seems sensible.

[Orm]

Moved on to the land movement and mailed you a save.

So what is happening about the AAR - are you doing that for the naval stuff? What about the Chinese?

[Orm]

What do you think about this for France?

[warspite1]

I don't like that the 6-4 and 3-1 can be attacked from 3 sides.

I considered moving the AT there.

I take it there are no land attacks in China? After I have finished the land moves is there anything else ahead of trying to (hopefully) end the turn?

[Orm]

I don't like that the 6-4 and 3-1 can be attacked from 3 sides.

I do not like it either but at least one of the sides is protected by river.

The AT is stacked with a 5 so that is only 7 in defence if he attacks with infantry only. And 9 if he uses armour. I can not see how you can weaken that hex further.

[Orm]

The Soviet Union should perhaps move the Mongolian cavalry towards Ulan-Ude. It takes a long time for it to reach a railway station.

[Orm]

I think the Lanchow Warlord should move West one step so that it is in mountains.

warspite1

Can it leave Mongolia?

[Orm]

Yes.

You have 1 unit in the homeland and that is more than outside. So one unit can always leave. [:)]

[warspite1]

So is there anything else needed before the impulse end?

[Orm]

Rebase the USSR fighters to cities so they can be moved to the reserve pool? Some bombers as well. Best way for USSR to transfer their air force while neutral.

Edit: Then you just place what you need during the reinforcement step. Neat way to keep your opponent guessing.

All bombers are used.

[Orm]

All bombers are used.

Then you could remove fighters and ad more bombers. [:)]

[Orm]

Lets move on and see if the turn gets even longer.

Can it leave Mongolia?

Fun thing with the minor country units rule is that if a country has two land units and no other units they can both leave their home country.

[Orm]

With the fine weather continuing I am a bit concerned about the Chinese situation. [:(]

warspite1

I am very concerned. But I guess there is nothing we can do but hope that the turn ends at some point in our lifetime.....

I see that we got nothing again for US entry too [X(]

I see that there is actually a 3 in 10 chance of Fine weather next turn too!!! We really could do with a break there.

[warspite1]

Wow! Putting to sea with one Battleship - with a whole CW fleet there... and getting that result. That's a bit of a shocker [X(]

[Orm]

Rolling a ten in a sea combat, and you are toast if the other side finds.
