France tries to protect against the Italian onslaught!

Nov/Dec 1939 Allied impulse 1

Airbase:
CW moves the Vildebeest to Plymouth.
France moves their airforce to the south of France.

No reorg.

Sending the turn to the Axis.

Japan chooses a land move.
No action at all until the movement phase.
Try to get the supply back on track and do some damage to the pyjama's.

Nov/Dec 1939
Impulse: 2 (Axis)

Declarations of War and Alignments:
Germany

The Germans declare war on the Netherlands. To say Congress was disinterested is something of an understatement (a 10 was thrown)

I assume the Netherlands Align with the CW? Where does the CW want to place the Dutch units?

1 x INF
1 x TERR
10 x CP
3 x SCS: De Ruyter, Java, Sumatra
1 x SUB

Align with the CW.

Dutch Setup.
(1) Rotterdam. I Inf XXX, CA Sumatra, CA Java, CA De Ruyter, sub, 1 CP.
(2) Parmaribo, Duth Guyana. 6 CP's, 1 TRS.
(3) NEI 122, 133 (SW of Palembang). NEI Terr
(4) Batavia, NEI. 3 CP's

I think Churchill occasionally directed WWII whilst wearing his pajamas.

Can we play this using different versions?

No, you can't.

Well that's a problem as I've got games going with 7 different players.....I'll post something when I get back from Dad's Taxi Service.
