Not a tank expert but these two tanks look like old Soviet products! (T55 or T62?)

They look like Chieftain's to me.

You are probably right - one thing for certain is that they are not Panzer II, III or IV's. However I could not find a picture of camoflagued chickens standing in front of German tanks from WWII. There is one of two reasons for this a) its all nonsense (although I can't believe that for a moment) or b) the chickens were so well camoflagued they simply don't show up in surviving WWII pictures.

Germany takes Rotterdam and forces ships to rebase. Where do they want to go?

Edit: Do you want to rebase them as a stack or one by one? Submarine can rebase safely alone.

As a group to Belfast although it might be that the submarine must go by itself.

All the talk about the, err, unusual Allied anti-tank defenses brings to mind the game "Unexploded Cow", which uses two problems to solve each other: mad cows in England and unexploded ordinance in France.
I thought I knew how to play this game....

Germany intercepts and rolls 1. Rebasing ships are forced to stay in box 0.

Does CW want to fly more planes to North Sea?

Allied roll 3. CW fleet in box 3 finds and comes to rescue rebasing ships. German NAV takes transporters as their primary target...

AA Fire: 2 10 9 1 5

Germany uses 2 points to increase damage to D A.

Germany had 1% chance for this (search rolls 1 and 3). With any other result either transporters would not have been committed to combat or Germany would not have 2 points to increase damage.

Transporter is only aborted.

Who takes A? Where do aborted CW ships go? Axis stay, how about Allies?

The CP takes the abort.

UK ships go to Portsmouth. Netherlands ships to Belfast.

Allies stay.

No additional planes I guess. I did not even ask before if French LND want to fly box 1. I believe it has other mission coming...

Germany attack hex SW of Brussels and Metz. Japan attacks CAV near Hangchow.

Germany sends 4 point bombers to both combats. 5 point fighters are in intercept range to both combats.

Is the long waiting over and French planes joins combat?

Odds before ground support:
Metz: 17,333:4 = 4,333
SW of Brussels: 33:9 = 3,666 blitz (Germany has 2x ARM and MECH)

Are these 4:1 and 3:1 including the 4-point bombers?

No. Odds are before ground support phase.

I suggest that it is a good time to scramble the entire French air force.

Remember that the attacker will have a positive die modifier on both attacks. Might be +2 in the blitz attack.

I'll try to use the AA unit in SW Brussels - do I do this before aircraft are announced?
