D on 5 point sub?

Yes please.

3rd round is coming

Naval combat ends (Axis 9, Allies 3).

Strategic bombing in Marseilles and Chungking.

Italians hit right on money, Chinese miss their target (5 rolled).

Germany hits units in Rotterdam.

Germany rails Königsberg MIL to Cologne.

Axis are in hurry so they attack Rotterdam and Mao.

Germany uses HQ support and Japan uses 3 points ground support.

Rotterdam has to be assault so I start with it.

Mediocre roll is not enough.

Does Chinese choose assault or blitz?

Blitz, thanks.

Japan converts result to retreat. Mao is forced to retreat SW. After attacking units follow to target hex, Mao is OOS.

Germany rebases Stukas little closer to front line and Ju52 to Yugoslavia.

Italian HQ reorganizes TRS and CA in La Spezia.

On a 3 turn continues.

Looks like winter has arrived.

Back to Allies.

N/D 39 Allies 9

No DoW or alignments.

The Allies call a conference to review the situation in China. Whilst there are a couple of moves USSR could usefully do, the other Allies are happy to pass. Stalin too agrees to pass.

With a 50% chance for the turn to end, it does on a roll of 2.

THe Italians get a partisan unit in French Indo-China. Where would they like to place it, Saigon?

If it has strength 0, place it to jungle 2 hexes east from Bangkok. Otherwise place it to mountains 4 hexes north from Saigon.

German markers to offense, thanks.

It was 0 strength, so the jungle hex it is.

USSR puts a marker in defence. Germany puts 2 in offence. US adds a chit to the Jap pool.

The combined US houses approve a motion allowing the shipping of resources to China. The Japanese government responds with a strongly worded diplomatic letter (1 rolled, 1 chit to tension pool).

A second motion allows the US to escort convoys in the Easy Coast. Herr Hitler flies into one of his legendary tantrums, ranting about US militarism and sham neutrality (5 rolled, 1 chit to tension pool).

Destroyed during N/D 1939

Stay at sea and return to base:

German submarine returns to Kiel.

Italian fighter to Genoa, NAV to La Spezia, CP from Italian coast to La Spezia and all submarines to La Spezia.

French CA stays in Italian Coast. Subs return to Marseilles and East Med CA's to Syria.
CW returns ships to Gibraltar and Liverpool, leaving CA's in North Sea 0-box and escorts in Biscay 0-box. All aircraft return to UK.

CW reorgs all (3.95 oil).
France reorgs all except for 3 CA's and a CP (1.4 oil).
