Happy New Year everyone!

Just out of curiosity, how many of you have a blanket of white on the ground?

Sunny, dry day, well above freezing, here in the northern panhandle of West Virginia, where I'm holed up with a friend, helping moving a few appliances, etc., before I start a new jobsite about 75 miles SE of Harper's Ferry. I think there will be some Civil War skirmish site visits in my future...

Carry on.

Happy New Year.

The white blanket has melted away already. 5-10 degrees Celsius the last few days. Warmest Christmas and New years that I can recall. Although colder weather is on the way.

Are we waiting for Allied rebase and reorganization?

Very very little snow here. It snowed today.

I just send instructions for few land moves. Now I'm online on computer.

USSR land moves:
Mongolian CAV to north.
Comminist Chinese moves HQ and MIL to mountains 75,139.

French land moves:
MTN to block hole in Italian border.
In north 5-4 INF (XVII) to Metz.

Gort and a MOT disembark to Calais.

Nimitz disembarks at Pearl.

Polish pilots decide their survival prospects might be slightly improved with better aircraft to fly and debunk to Roumania with a view to joining the RAF.

CW rebase NAV from Ireland to south coast.

US NAV and FTR unload at Pearl.

Bilotte reorganises the LND.

The weather stays fine.

The Germans move some Panzer units and an HQ toward the west. The remaining armies encircle Warsaw.

Axis will continue with their impulse tomorrow.

Japanese forces peacefully occupy and restore order to Changsha. US misunderstands this and reacts negatively (one entry chit added).


Picture from Sep/Oct '39 Impulse #3 (Axis) - Land Combat

The German forces are re-organised in line with Fuhrer Directive No.3

The Supreme Commander Of The Armed Forces.

Berlin
9th September, 1939

Directive No. 3 For The Conduct Of The War

1. Operations against the Polish Army and Air Force will continue with the necessary forces until it is safe to assume that the Poles are no longer capable of establishing a continuous front which can tie down German forces.

2. Should it be clear that some part of the Eastern Army and of the Air Force are no longer necessary for the completion of this task and for the pacification of occupied territories, arrangements are to be made to transfer these forces to the west.

As the Polish Air Force becomes progressively weaker, further air defence units may be made available for use against our western enemies.

Even after the half hearted opening of hostilities by England, at sea and in the air, and by France, on the land and in the air, my personal approval must be obtained:

(a) For any crossing of the German land frontier in the west.

(b) For all flights beyond the western frontier of Germany, unless they are necessary to meet heavy enemy air attacks.

(c) For air attacks against England.

The Air Force is, however, free to operate in the German Bight and in the western mined areas, and in immediate support of naval action at sea.

(d) For the Navy the instructions given in Directive No. 2 paragraphs 3a and b remain in force. No offensive action at sea is to be undertaken against France.

Signed: Adolf Hitler

In line with the Fuhrer's orders, a revised disposition has been made.

I assume its an assault

Sorry just sent through a mail saying Warsaw - but there is a fractional odds throw (which I tried to avoid by getting near to 5:1 as I could) [:@]

So the fractional odds throw was on the wrong dice - it was on combat 1-10. So I guess I have to do this again. FFS if I had a brain I would be dangerous.

What do you insert for dice for fractional odds on the Dice Roller please????

The odds will be 5:1 regardless of the fractional odds throw. I say the original roll stands.

Okay ignore that last e-mail then - I took a guess at 10v10. I'll try 1d100.....

And if I had a brain I would actually be able to think. It should be 1d1000

Fractional odds roll is 1d1000.
