All attacks are successful.

Minor point, but I would have included HQ support in Warsaw. Not sure if it makes much difference to the result as no access to tables.

I did not plan this. This is a pleasant surprise after good combat rolls.

Mech and MOT breaks trough overrunning Belgian INF and PzJagI follows.

No worries. German He111 disorganized Polish HQ during ground strike phase.

With Defending HQ support one more German INF would have been destroyed.

Fine. I couldn't tell on my phone that HQ was disorganised.

I forgot to say this earlier:

Japan moves 3 units in Central China and prepares for counter attack.

Italy moves TER in Tunisia and captures Tunis.


Air rebase:

German NAV is rebased to La Spezia and Bf109 is rebased to same hex with Mech/MOT in Belgium.

Italian FTR is rebased to Leghorn.

Japanese NAV is rebased to Fukuoka and 2 bombers to central China.


HQ Reorganization:
Rundstedt reorganizes Mech, MOT and 2x INF. All German HQ's are now disorganized.

Here is new weather. It is not yet winter, but at least the Sun is not shining in north temperate anymore.

Yes, it is not shown during combat.

Still looks like split in luck from Europe to Asia.

O chit usage is always a tough one. I like to use them early as I find the battles can drag out otherwise, and the quicker the territory is conquered the more BPs you are getting early on. After all the Us entry penalty has already been felt. Get France smashed early then concentrate on other fields of war.

France will have a nice PM...will all the French factories be in operation? I see no CW commitment to France, but lots of CW activity in the Med...

N/D 39 Allied 3

No DoW

USSR, France, China Land, CW Naval, US Combined.

CW sails CV Eagle and CL escort from Malta to St Vincent 1-box. 3 CV, 2 BB and 2 CA from Plymouth to West Med 2-box. Queens take Gort to Bone in Morocco. Various CVL's and CA/CL's sail out on convoy escort.

US Trans picks up Marshall into Sth China Sea. CL takes Inf div towards Pago Pago. Trans from Pearl picks up 40mm in West Coast.

No naval combat.

4.5's at Dover try some long-range gunnery towards Calais. Much to everyone's surprise, they manage to hit something useful.

Rain scuppers operations in China and Manchuria. The Nationalists pull back the Cav into Wuhan. Communists move Lanchow Mil a hex.

The French thin the lines to cover the breakthrough.

USSR Lnd rebases to Chita.

CW P-40 to bone and A-22 to Cagliari.

French Ftr to Paris.

Gort reorgs the Queens.

N/D 39 Axis 5

No DoW

Japan and Germany land, Italy naval.

German NAV goes to Italian Coast box 3 and Italian sub to box 4. Another Italian sub goes to Cape Verde Basin box 2.

Italy initiates combat in both sea areas, Cape Verde Basin first.

Axis 4, Allies 8 gives no combat. Italy is disappointed.

Next Italian coast.

Italian sub initiates combat. Do Allies want to fly bombers?

No thanks.

Italian sub is going to take part of action. It was needed only to initiate combat.

CW sub do the same and join Italian sub at the bottom of the sea listening the combat?

Yes, CW subs stay at the bottom.

Meanwhile Wehrmacht Generals are happy to see French army leaving their positions, only disorganized AT gun is left behind in Brussels.

Is is panic or is AT gun buying time???

Axis 7, Allies 2. Do Allies want to avoid combat or try their luck with AA guns? Which boxes are included?

Avoid combat, thanks.
