Two land combats. One in Poland, and one in China. The attack in Poland is automatic with Blitz so I am not rolling for that one. The attack in China uses HQ support and one NAV2, and one LND2, provide four points in ground support.

Assault, or blitz, in China?

Assault

The peace keeping operation in the Mufu mountains goes well, and they are the Chinese rebels are chased out.

See my previous post.

Naval for France, land for Britain.

No naval air.

France moves a task force into West Med 3 box and move many cruisers to the 0 box of CSV, West and East Med.

They also make a raid into the Baltic Sea with a sub and cruiser from Brest.

Miss.

Land moves:

In China, the Chinese advance in the North while retreating in the center.

Britain advances westward in Egypt. Poland retreats from the Northern corridor as the HQ moves into Warsaw and the Tarnow cavalry moves into Krakow.

Air rebase:

The French Leo moves to Southern France. The British Hambden flies to Malta.

Early Autumn rain arrives.

The ground strike was an unexpected success that makes the Polish situation easier, and the high command somewhat less worried.

Land Movement:

Germany:
Minor movement in the West.
AG von Leeb concentrate on the disorganized Poznan Army, and manages to cut its supply line.

Japan:
The Kyoto militia protects the coal in northern China.
Changsha, and the resource in central China, is liberated.

US strongly objects to the Japanese liberating Changsha (3).

One, automatic, attack in Poland. No point in adding any air since it is automatic even with defensive GS. Germany selects blitz. No roll made.
