15th September 1939
Poland
Before the actual invasion of Poland began the Polish Navy put Operation Peking into action.
Three destroyers and, ultimately, two submarines were able to reach the UK to continue the fight.
Three Polish destroyers: Burza (Storm), Blyskawica (Lightning), and Grom (Thunder) sailed through the Baltic, right under the noses of German surface units that were unable to open fire as the two countries were not then at war....

22nd September 1939
France
Maxime Weygand and his Syrian Army are on their way to France. The Garrison has landed in Tunis - will Mussolini have second thoughts? - and the Algerian and Tunisian troops have landed on the Cote D'Azur..

Having Italy in the war early can actually be turned into an advantage as it might give the French fleet something to do while it's still operational ...
They will also get more income each turn and catch you unprepaired in Africa. Tbh I wouldn't recommend it. Just disband the units as time progresses and you need money.

I have to say given my game plan I am with you nOknOk (sorry Hartmann) but I am now concerned that even though I put a garrison back in Tunis, the AI is not programmed to take this into account and will attack anyway....[:@]
That's the trouble with trying to second guess a moron like Il Duce.....[:D]

Afaik the script checks each turn and increases the war readiness with a certain percentage. So you should be fine.

The MPP position this turn. The U-boats have yet to make their presence known.
UK - Build an Engineer
France - Save their pennies
Poland - The Poles spend their few MPP on the Modlin Army, while the Prusy Army is ordered to the capital

1st October 1939
Poland
This turn saw only the destruction of the Wyskow Corps southeast of Warsaw. The 14th and 25th Infantry Divisions of the Poznan Army in the west have done a sterling job in remaining intact and stalling German progress from that direction.
The one blot on the copybook is the KOP Garrison which I neglected to move on the first turn [:@] This unit could have been useful - but is now too far away to influence events.

Nooooooooo! Apparently that moron Mussolini is now encouraged because there are no troops in Syria [:@]
United Kingdom
The Polish destroyers turn up in Scotland and the BEF is here Huzzah! They will be ordered to take up position behind the Somme as part of the Amiens-Nancy line.

Decision time. Do the French Government want to ban the Commies and detain militants? A bit of a no brainer this one as I get an increase in morale for so doing.
Better dead than red eh Monsieur Daladier?

Decision time too for the Soviets. Under the terms of the Nazi-Soviet pact the Soviets have free reign in Finland and, having grabbed Eastern Poland, now start the process of collecting in other areas.

The British still await the appearance of Donitz's U-Boats, but in the meantime the British get a decent haul of MPP.
UK - The British begin research of Anti-Tank and Advanced Aircraft weaponry.
France - The French build 4 Garrison for use as road-blocks.
USA - Begin the research of Industrial Technology
Poland - The Poles spend their precious MPP on building up the Modlin and Karpaty defences.

The French (and their BEF allies) start to form up. A unit is still required south of Luxembourg. In the south, the Syrian Corps has done a
volte-face and headed straight back for Damascus.
