I started to place German units, but now it's midnight here. Good night to everyone!

Good night.

German set up, 15 corps in east.

Germany declares war on Poland. US is not that much annoyed (10 rolled).

Back to the Allies for Polish set up.

***Spoiler Warning***

***Top Secret Plan Follows***

***Eyes Only***

Here is the Polish set up. Poland use the ultra top secret plan 'English Snake' to defend against the sneaky, and treacherous, Soviet Union that are suspected to invade Eastern Poland any second now.



[;)]

The plan, or a variant of it, which would allow a substantial part of the Polish army to be interned by USSR and become available to the CW in the event Germany declared war on USSR was given some consideration.

In the end however, some hasty orders amended the Polish dispositions as below.

Land: Germany, Japan
Combined: Italy

No Port Strikes. No naval air.

Italy send a TRS to the Red Sea and embark a supply marker.

No strategic bombing. No Ground Strikes.

Japan bombard Chengchow with the ART and ground strikes it with the NAV2.

Germany ground strike both Lodz and Warsaw.

The bombing result against Lodz. [:(]

Why, oh why.

In Japan, however, they wonder if they used up all the luck.

Sep/Oct '39
Impulse #1 (Axis)

No rail movement.

Japanese forces concentrate on Chengchow.

German ENG receives a special mission, they head East Poland and overrun both planes. Planes and pilots are destroyed.

Polish ships are overrun, CA is destroyed and CP is rebased. No one is online, I hope Belfast is fine.

Two land combats, in Chengchow and Warsaw.

Warsaw attack is at this moment 5:1 (42:8) and Germany can add 20 points ground support. Germany chooses to use HQ support in case Polish use that too succeeds (odds would drop down to 5:1).

Edit: there is also an automatic attack in SW Poland.

Edit 2: As I found out few posts later, Poland can't use HQ support so I did not use it for Germany either (8:1 -> 7:1). Actually I forgot to add it when I had to redo the attack. If you guys want, I can roll for HQ support and make it disorganized if I roll 3 or less. I should know these rules...

Does Poland want to use HQ support?

Game does not allow Polish use HQ support, is that correct? I'm rusty with rules...

Yes, that is correct.


15.1 Surprise effects
....
Surprised HQs cannot provide emergency HQ supply (see 2.4.3) or HQ support (see 11.16.3).

Thank you Sir! I promise you roll well in Japanese attack.

Here are final odds.

Warsaw falls!

Next up Chengchow (5:1). I don't think there is any reason to choose Blitz, so I can move without waiting for an answer?

I checked combat tables (5:1 +2) and there no reason to choose Blitz, so here we go.

Japanese attack goes well too
