Bamboozled, is not a word I would use at this point. Although. Somehow. I feel a bit bamboozled. That is as I understand that word, bamboozled.

Been feeling impatient with the progress of the phony war. Not to my liking at all, even though things has been going fairly decent. So impatience won out, and I declare war on the Dutch. Big mistake. Humongous maybe. This as I now have no unit that can enter Amsterdam in blizzard. Usually have a speedy unit up on the north but now I did not and found out the hard way why it is good practice to have such a unit there.

Well played by the Allied player.

Edit: Spelling.

Assault in China

I think the word bamboozle(while I knew the word fairly well, I looked it up for better understanding) gives me a little too much credit. The only credit I deserve is actually paying attention to detail in this situation, which is not a strength of mine but I covered that weakness in this case.

Attack in China goes well.

Air rebase:

Japan:
FTR2 C China -> 89,137

No reorganization.

Turn ends on a two (1-8 to end).

To tired to roll for partisans. Here is a save from the reorg step-

Germany place both markers on defence.
4thJPBJ 028 JF 40 EoT

One partisan in FIC. I placed it in Hue for you.

USA played Embargo on Strategic Materials and Lend Lease to China. Neither moved any markers to the tension pool.

Axis SAS below.

Will you post instructions for the second part of the Allied EoT?

AlliedRTB Edit: Replaced the save to one where the Japanese carriers return to port.

Losses for the turn.

Yes, I will post the instructions for Allied EOT at a later time.

Wrong save posted. It is the Axis SAS again, when it is the Axis RTB that is up.

Changed the file in the above post, give that one a try.
