The Germans declined to search but the CW searches...

Rolls were 9 and 7 No one found and the German Div is free to invade Rotterdam.

The NE 4-3 Inf if placed on the resource hex is likely to have been disorganized and overrun by German armor ready to do so.

The attack on Amsterdam was aided by shore support and the German Ftr3 flown as a bomber.

Rotterdam was invaded by a German Div and assisted by a small German Inf unit with some shore support added. The odds on Rotterdam will increase after Amsterdam has fallen since the Rotterdam notional will not have the added 1 from the adjacent NE unit then.
The German units used in the attacks are mainly the reserve units reorganized earlier by the Rundstedt HQ and the ATR plane.

At the end of the impulse the front is shown here.

The attacks went well but even at a +16 on Rotterdam the German Div was lost.

The NE ships all escaped and the intercept in the North Sea failed.

The Japanese advanced towards Si-An, knocked out the SI-An Mil

Allied 3rd impulse impulse 6.

CW naval, China land, rest combined.

CW uses some of the Netherlands convoys to increase the resource move and oil save capacity.
Russia enters E Poland, US does not care. Russian CAV move around the disorganized Persian unit in mountain next to Tehran and enters the city.

China CAV threatened with a break in river defense moves southwest to another defensive position.

Axis 4th impulse impulse 7 Weather roll a 1, great campaign conditions.
In Europe only an attack on a surrounded Warzaw. Germany did not have enough troops in the west to pursue Belgium, DoW yet.

two attacks in China shown even if a bit risky by Si-An.

The attacks in China went fine, with the present positions there is a 15% partisan risk there.

Warzaw fell but it cost the Germans a Div and 6 disorganized units.

Allies 4th impulse impulse 8

All passed for a 40% chance of turn end. Roll 2 turn ended.

US entry chit to Japan, Took options for resources to China and US occupy Greenland and Iceland. One chit to the Europe tension pool.

The production plan form fir the CW turn 1 is shown. It now works smoothly and unused oil is saved where desired with no difficulties

Here are the reinforcements for Nov/Dec 39. In addition there are a couple of reserve planes and pilots available

These units were destroyed during the Sep/Oct 39 turn

CW naval, Fr,Ch land, Rus,US combined.

CW sends out fleet with carriers to W Med. Searched and failed to find in N Sea. Shipping the Australian Mil towards Egypt.

Russian units in Persia moving westwards.

N/D 39 Axis impulse 2 ( impulse 5) Weather 4 rain in arctic and temperate

Germany rails and moves units from Poland west and southwards.

Japan attacks a Chinese mountain hex NW Canton at +12.33 using Engr and HQ support and Gsup. Chinese choose Blitz for 33% chance of survival versus 100 loss in regular attack even though that could cost the Japanese more losses. Roll was 17 way overkill.

N/D 39 Allies impulse 2 ( impulse 7 )

China land, rest combined action

CW sends more ships to the North Sea and searches for the Germans but again fail to find.

French stratbomb Munich with no effect.

Turn did not end.

N/D 39 Axis impulse 3 ( impulse 9 ) Winter with snow in most areas

Italy is awaiting the CW DoW, even at the risk of a port attack since the US entry seems high.

Ge and Jap land, It combined.

GE groundstrikes Belgrade and Japan takes on Si-An. Belgraade fails not effect, Si-An works and Mao is disorganized.

An attack on Belgrade is only at +7 so Germany holds off. In SI=An Mao chooses Blitz with a 39% chance of survival at the + 11 attack. the roll is 11 for 22 so Mao dies and the Japanese take Si-An.

The turn does not end.

Allies 3 rd impulse ( impulse 12 ) snow

CW searches again in North Sea and finds with air action but no damages were caused.
CW searched again and found but their air was all aborted to the sea with no dmages.

The Communists are being hit hard by Japan.
In the south the Chinese still have a strong mountain line defense
