Impulse #5 (Allied)

The port strike is a success, and the CP is sunk (Axis 6, Allied 4).

Impulse #5 (Allied)

No Naval Air.

Naval Movement:

France:
TRS + INF (CSV) -> Brest
CA (Brest) -> Baltic Sea 4-box

CW:
Liner + TERR (Australia) -> Red Sea
Convoy escorts leave port.

France search in the Baltic Sea. Germany has one NAV3 that can reach up to the 2-box. Does it fly?

No combat in the Baltic Sea (10-8). The exact same search results as in my previous try. :lol:

Sep/Oct '39
Impulse #5 (Allied)

No strategic bombing. No ground strikes. No rail movement.

Land Movement:

USSR occupies Eastern Poland, to the annoyance of USA (7).

China:
2-4 -> NW
2-2 -> W
3-4 -> Ichang
4-3 + 5-3 -> E Ichang
2-3 AA -> W
4-2 -> NW

No air rebases. No reorganization.

Germany declares war on Denmark. Standard setup with five CP in Torshavn and the rest in Frederikshavn?

Yes, although put the 5 CPs on Iceland (Reykjavik?).

Edit: Align CW. Any Danish ships escaping sail for Liverpool if possible, and Plymouth if not.

No US Entry added for declaration of war on Denmark.

Land actions for Japan and Germany. Combined for Italy.

Italy moves a CP into West Med.

Japan continues to press the Communist and Nationalist Chinese positions in the North. Germany closes on Warsaw for the final attack on the city. They overrun most of Denmark but there are still a few hexes under British control there. Italy moves their infantry division to La Spezia.

Whew, quite a scare there for the Germans.

Germany rebases a fighter, fighter bomber, and bomber to Denmark. Italy rebases the Falco to Sardinia. Japan rebases a fighter bomber to within three hexes of Wuhan.

I will provide detailed instructions for EOT. You can keep the file. Only Axis CP remain at sea. Return the He 112 from the Baltic to hex 49,35.

Place a German pilot in the Emil. Place it in Nurenberg.

Place the Infantry Corps, TD, and Armored Division in Cologne, Dusseldorf, and Essen, respectively.

Place the Italian pilot in the LND3/Air transport. Place it and the Motorized Corps in Genoa.

If the Axis win the initiative, the Allies will move first.

For some weird reason the Soviet player (me) grumbles about the short turn, and the new lousy weather. Bah!
