No strategic bombing. No Ground Strikes.

Rail Moves:

Japan:
MIL Haichow->Harbin

Italy:
GARR (62,34) -> Calais

Germany:
INF (Krakow) -> La Spezia

Land Moves:

Germany:
3rd Infantry Division is sent to Venice for some R&R.
Three Korps move towards the Rotterdam area to stop the British offensive.
Antwerp is liberated from the British invaders.
Field Marshal Karl Rudolf Gerd von Rundstedt orders all his panzers to concentrate on the French forces guarding the east approach to Paris.
Remaining German forces on the west front tries to advance west but are soon stopped by French units. Traffic chaos ensues when so many units cross path with each other.

Impulse #5 (Axis)

Germany makes two land attacks:
1) vs Rouen. Current odds are 33:4. Two bombers fly with 7 points in ground support. Since France can not intercept they will clear and make the odds 40:3. Or 10:1. France can use their LND3 to try and reduce the odds to 40:7. Or 5:1. Germany has one 4 strength FTR3 available to intercept the French bomber.
2) vs hex 55,30 - just east of Paris. No HQ support. No ground support. Current odds are 55:9 or 6:1 blitz. +3 die roll modifier is expected due to armour bonus. France has one ART that can provide 2 points in defensive ground support. The French bomber can also fly here with their 3 points in support. The same German FTR3 can also intercept here. Will France provide any defensive support?

No thanks

One of the German bombers flying ground support (He 111) land in Northern Italy after the support mission.

Final odds.

Both attacks go well.

Two task forces put to sea in the Eastern Mediterranean

The CW don't initiate in the Eastern Med (and the Italians can't)
The CW do attempt to initiate in the Italian Coast

No aircraft for the CW. The Germans (1) and Italians (2) have the aircraft (shown on map) that can fly. What do they want to do?

No additional air for the axis thank you

Land Combat:
Commonwealth

The CW attack the Italians in Bardia at 3:1 (inc shore bombardment). There seems to be a +1 but I don't know why. Maybe its the armour - but then the Italians have the choice????

What do the Italians want to do?

I don´t know about the +1. Italians choose tables since equal ARM and equal MECH due to italian A-A unit I think.
Italians go with assault thank you.

Throw is a 5. The ART is lost and all disorganised. I assume the Italians lose the Libyan?

Correct
