Initiative Axis 9, Allied 10. Axis win.

Do you want to go first?

Yes thanks.

Fine almost everywhere. Long winter is over. GAME ON!

France at the start of M/J 1940.

And China

M/J 40 Axis 1

No DoW or alignments.

Germany and Japan Land. Italy Combined. Germany puts an O-chit on von Rundstedt.

Italy sends SM.79 to East Med 3-box.

Italy sends a task force of 2 BB's, 4 CA's and a TRANS to East Med. I decline the intercept. THey settle in the 1-box and the TRANS loads Balbo from Egypt.

The Italians decline combat but the RN can make an attempt if they wish?

No thanks.

The Germans launch ground strikes. The first is against Wavell. The ART is boosted by the O-chit.

The second is against the French. ART boosted as before.

The Japanese send 2 LND against Chiang.

Do the Allies wish to intercept any of the attacks in France? Spitfire and Hurricane available for CW. MS 406 and Potez available for France. Germany has fighters available to counter-intercept.

Spitfire in target hex intercepts and lands back to same hex.

French FTR2 intercepts and lands back to same hex it starts.

Both will fight to the end and targets bombers.

The Germans add a Bf-109 to intercept the French.

First up, the action over the British lines where the Bf-109 tries to protect two Stuka groups from the attentions of the RAF Spitfires.

One of the Stuka groups is forced to turn back as the Spitfires concentrate on the bombers. In doing so, they are bounced by the escorts with fatal results.

The French effort is less effective but they live to fight again.

Against the British, the aborted Stuka may have made a difference as the MECH escapes unscathed.

The effort over the French goes better.

The Japanese effort fails to trouble the scorers.

Japan rails MIL and ART from Korea to Nanking.

Germany rails MIL from Lodz to Frederikshavn and MIL from Stettin to Lodz.

The Italians move a couple of units on the French border.

The Germans complete their attack deployments.

The Japanese continue their drive on Chiang and make various adjustments to the lines.

The Germans declare 2 attacks. The Italians chip in with one of their own in the Alps.

Do CW want to use Gort for HQ support?
