No US reaction when Japan occupied Nanyang (4 rolled).

Japan attacks the Second Chinese Red Army in the Tsingling mountains, and six Japanese air units provide 11 points in ground support.

Germany assaults Lodz, and one LND2 provide four points in support. Edit: Changed to correct picture.

The German attack is 7:1, and the Japanese is 5:1. Assault is assumed for both attacks.

Lodz is captured after a close to 9 months long siege.

Perhaps assault in China is not as given as I previously thought?

Will USSR select assault, or blitz, in China?

assault

The Chinese Red Army is destroyed, but all the attackers are disorganized. A result, I suspect, that both sides find acceptable but not as good as they had hoped for.

Both Germany, and Italy, declare war on Greece. No other DOWs.

Will you roll the US entry, place the Greek units, and mail us a new save?

Or tell us how to place the Greeks?

Yes, I will keep the file and conduct those activities and send you a new save after Greek setup.

Greek setup file sent.

Will be away for an hour. If you port attack the Greek ships, any results that are my choice will be taken on the two cruisers, worst cruiser first.
