Reinforced AG von Bock concentrate on Patis
AGs Rundstedt, and von Leeb, advance towards SW France with strong panzer forces.

Japan:
AG Umezu probe the Chinese defences and try to advance through the gaps in their defences.
AGs Yamamoto, and Terauchi, concentrate on the Nationalist Chinese 20th Army Group.
Other minor adjustments.

Germany assaults Paris. (Japanese attack in next post)

HQ support added. Two LND2, and one LND3, fly ground support. Two FTR2 available for counter-interception. One AA is included in the attack. Current odds are 69:12, or +16.

Will France add any defensive support?

Japan attacks the Nat Chines 4-1 GARR in hex 86,141.

HQ support added. 2 NAV2 + LND2 add GS. Current odds is 38:8, or +11,5. Will China use their AA? Will it be assault, or blitz, or does that depend on the final odds?
