No, thank you. No German intercept this impulse.

The Bearn stops in the 3-box. French TRANS at Beruit brings INF to Nice. 4 Bb's and Cl go from Marseilles to the West Med 3-box. 2 BB and 5 CA/CL go to the 4-box. 2 cruisers from Algiers meet 2 from Beruit in the East Med 4-box. French CP's at Casablanca go to St Vincent and Cape Verde.

The other CW naval move is for a CA to load the INF Div at Plymouth and take it to Oran.

One area for naval combat and the French CA initiates.

Searches: Allies 3, Axis 7. Allies find and have 11 surprise points. They use them to change the odds to -3/+2.

First round - Axis 14 for no effect. Allies 8 which aborts the He-112. Where does it land?

On the armour.

One ground strike announced by the French against Saarbrucken. The less said the better.

That's it for me tonight.

No rail moves.

Mongol CAV moves towards Ulan-Ude.

China after land moves.

The CW reorganise things in Egypt.

Finding themselves surprisingly untouched by the war so far and a lack of opposition to their northwest, the Pomorze Infantry decide to see how far they can get. They end up 40 miles short of Berlin.

No land combat.

Warspite1 has gone off-line so to move this on, the Polish air force scoots off to internment in Lithuania.

No other rebases and no reorganisation.

Weather gets a bit damp.

A couple of the German reserves seems to have been placed wrong. The 9-4 INF should have been in Dusseldorf, and the 6-3 INF in Breslau.

Oh FFS... I'll re-do the Allied turn tomorrow AllenK.

A couple of the German reserves seems to have been placed wrong. The 9-4 INF should have been in Dusseldorf, and the 6-3 INF in Breslau.

It in not just these two units that needs trading places. It is the entire stacks. The MOT and MECH needs switching as well.

Right I've re-done the turn and all should be as it was (including US Entry which took a couple of goes to get right). The only exception is that I took a guess as to whether I escorted the Queens to Suez. I guessed wrong and in this version the 3 cruisers have escorted the Queens. On the basis that there was no interception and nothing has happened on the Axis side in the Med yet, I'm b******** if I am re-doing the turn again for that!
