N/D 39 Axis 7

No DoW or alignments.

All opt for Land.

Germany rails units from Poland. Von Bock from to Arnhem. Von Leeb to near the Belgium border and an INF to Dusseldorf.

Italy rails an INF from Turin to Rome.

Italy continues moving units towards the French frontier. In Egypt, the units close on Alexandria.

Germany moves units west from Poland and starts concentrating around the Belgium border.

China post Japanese movement.

Two land combats are declared. One each from Japan and Italy.

The Japanese attack adds 1 point of ground support and Yamamoto takes a personal role in the the proceedings.

Assault?

Yes please, both assaults.

In China, casualties are worse than anticipated but the job is done and not bad for an attack in poor weather. As Yamamoto takes up residence in the Hilton Wuhan, the US don't care a jot (10 rolled).

The Italians first land action goes well.

Italy rebases the SM.79 to Balbo (adjacent to Alex).

Germany rebases 2 FTR and a LND to the Belgium border and a NAV to LA Spezia.

No reorgs.

Turn continues on a 4 but the weather continues to worsen.

Back to the Allies.

Initiative: Axis 5, Allied 6.

Axis win. They can choose who goes first.

(Before we start, AllenK needs to manually reorg CW ARM HQ to compensate lost oil point last turn).

Can anyone find any errors? I fixed all I found [:)]

Allies can go first.

Let's see if I can remember how to manually reorganise units in the game save file

Here is the weather.

Save file is coming.
