Sep/Oct 1939
Impulse: 7

Four attacks:
4:1 +1 on Lodz Assault
4:1 +2 on Warsaw Assault
3:1 +1 in China ?
4:1 +1 on Vladivostok (thanks to IJN support) Assault

What do the Chinese want to do - assume Assault?

Sep/Oct 1939
Impulse: 7

Lodz is a 5(6) and the city falls

Impulse: 7

Warsaw is a close run thing 3(5) and the Germans lose an INF and are disorganised. But Warsaw at least falls.

What do the Chinese want to do - assume Assault?

Indeed.

Impulse: 7

I've realised over the last few impulses how dodgy declaring war on the Soviet Union is; reserves get called out, lifting restriction on Chinese Communist moves, probably increasing their production and allowing trade war too.

This £$%^ does not help [:(]

With Fractional Odds I get a 5:1 +1 on Vladivostok....

.... I throw a 2.

Sep/Oct 1939
Impulse: 7

And that completes a wonderful impulse. 3:1 +1 and I throw a.....

....1. Extra [:(] face with a healthy dollop of [&:] thrown in.

Impulse: 7

von Bock reorganises an ARM and an INF to try and get these westward asap.
Yammamoto reorganises two INF and a LND.

I think someone is now taking the £$%^. The turn ends.... on a 1.

Sep/Oct 1939
Impulse: End of Turn

Seemingly no partisans.

Germany chooses 2 offensive markers. What does the Soviet Union choose?

USSR select a offensive marker as well.

Which pool do you want to draw a chit from?

I am not sure. Maybe it would be easier if I did the end of turn orders in this game?

Edit: Soon the fun with CW return to base begins and designate what ships will stay at sea. Lots of fun stuff.

Not sure how you do it? I can send you game but I don't know what to do without running through it and I cant go beyond USE!! Here's a screenie if that helps?

Edit - happy for you to do EOT. How do you get round this issue?

I select a marker for the Japanese pool. If I can select Resources to China I will pick that option otherwise US will not select any option.

I usually go back to a autosave before the turn ended and mail that. But lets see if you can make a save at the end of the US entry step or at the beginning of next.

Too bad about the end of the turn.

I have to say that Polish campaign worked out brilliantly, warspite1. Not only did both cities get secured in a single stroke (and what luck on the follow-up ground strike in Lodz after the surprise impulse strikes failed!) but you also foiled Orm's "sneaky" move to try and get the HQ interned for later use by the CW.

Allies won the first initiative roll but Axis demanded, and won, a re-roll. The weather is fine. All in all a good beginning of the turn for Axis...

The Japanese choose a combined and put 5 cruisers into the Japanese Coast. Do the Soviets wish to intercept?

Edit: I assume not as there will be a throw anyway as I am stopping in the sea area.

The Soviet did not want to intercept.

And if a combat is rolled for in the sea area USSR will exclude their submarines.

The Germans place a NAV in the Baltic

The Italians place a Sub in the Western Med and a couple of NAV in the Italian Coast.

In addition to the cruiser squadron, the Japanese place a fleet in the Sea of Japan.

Nov/Dec 1939
Impulse: 1

As before the Japanese try a ground strike in the mountains - the Japanese can intercept with a 3-quality and the Japanese can launch 5.4 worth.

Do the Chinese fly?

Edit: On the basis that the Chinese flew last time and nothing has changed (odds/aircraft involved) I will take the same action with the Chinese and fly.

The aircraft line up as before
