Mar/Apr '40
Impulse #9 (Axis) Cont'

Air rebase
Japan
NAV3 -> Swatow
Germany
FTR2 -> Belgium [53,31]

No reorg.

Another short turn for Axis, ends on a 2.

Over to Allies, all Axis markers to Off and push 1 over.

EOT instructions to follow.

One partisan appears in India. Placed it on a resource for you. Can be moved if so desire.

USSR placed their pact marker on defence, and moved one marker to defence.

US placed an entry marker in the German pool, and then interned the French CV. This moved one marker to tension.

Back to Axis for stay at sea.

Not sure how to solve the issue with the Italian idle resource in the Alps-

The German attack in Belgium shattered the French defenders, and Germany lost one MOT Div, if I got things right.

Oops, I do have a screenshot i failed to put up in all the excitement of the turn ending. You are correct, final roll was a 19.

I'll temporarily edit the French units there away from the border should solve the issue for the moment.

Allies were not all that fond over another short turn either. CW wanted to have a try at the Italian invasion fleet in the Mediterranean. And USSR definitely would have liked to have had another impulse in Finland.
