Here are the choices of the new Free French home country. I choose Gabon cause it has a port and its on the Atlantic.

S/O 40 starts with the Axis winning initiative and moving first. The weather could have been better.
Here is production for this turn.
Germany: fighter-2 x2, pilot x2, repair TRS, Armor, Sub 1st phase.
Italy: Repair BB, Fighter-2, sub 1st phase.
Japan: BB 2nd phase, Naval Repair, cvp x2, Terr x2, pilot.
China: artillery, cav div.
CW: BB repair x2, pilot x2, Terr x2, Fighter-2, Land-2
France: inf x2
USA: TRS 2nd phase, BB 2nd phase, cvp x3
USSR: artillery, inf x3, pilot.

Not much happening in this crappy weather. The CW is trying to move some troops to Egypt, might be too little too late.

Haven't posted in a while, new work schedule has been killer this week, lol.
So after some bad weather and a pass by the allies to slow down the Axis war machine, the turn ended, a partisan showed up in India and plopped itself down on a resource.

Here is the latest production:
Germany: mech, armor, pilot x2, naval repair, ftr-2, garrison.
Italy: BB repair, ftr-2.
Japan: pilot, amphib 2nd phase, CV 2nd phase, Transport 1st phase, Inf, Militia.
China: ftr-2, pilot.
CW: CA repair x2, pilot x2, Terr, ftr-2, land-3, inf.
USA: transport 2nd phase, BB 2nd phase, nav-3.
USSR: inf x3, mot, pilot.

The axis wins iniative and decides to go first. Weather is brutal. Will be a short turn.

Even if you are flying crappy old russian planes a roll of a 20 will get you the result you want every time.

Japan launches an attack in the south and its very successful.

As you can see here the lines are starting to form up on the Eastern Front.

Germany and Italy DoW Greece. No US entry chits.

Will Greece be getting help from Churchill?

The CW is trying to reinforce N. Africa, so sadly probably not.

Japan finally breaks across the river line in the south, with a weird no losses for anyone result.

that's a good use of Japanese tanks ... picking the blitz table to break a Chinese river line. it helps to attack with a motorised division available to take a loss. breaking down any Infantry unit into divisions can get you one.

The turn ends finally. 2 partisans show up, one in Occupied France and one in Occupied China.
The German fleet gets this upgrade.
Production:
Germany: Inf x2, pilot x2, sub 2nd phase, Artillery, Mech.
Italy: BB repair, ftr-2, pilot.
Japan: pilot x2, amphib 2nd phase, cvp, cvl 1st phase, mil x2.
China: garrison, inf div.
CW: CA repair x2, pilot x2, cvp x2, ftr-2, armor.
USA: sub 2nd phase, BB repair, transport 1st phase x2, nav-3.
USSR: pilot x2, mech, ski div, ftr-2, garrison.

J/F 41 starts with the allies winning initiative and going first. Typical bad weather.

The turn starts with the allies moving first, the CW decides to flex some naval muscle moving into key areas and daring the axis to come play. Egypt is reinforced with another HQ and a white print Inf. And CW CVP's get into the fight sinking convoys in the eastern med.

The Italian subs came out to play, which with hindsight wasn't the best idea. They were both aborted and one was damaged, while all they did was abort the Repulse.

Did you notice that the upgrade will take 1 year, and cost 5 BP's? [X(]

No actually, I didn't notice that, thanks for pointing it out.
