New Weather

So much for Summer in Europe!

Both September, and October, is Autumn months here. And I wouldn't be surprised if October is both the windiest, and rainiest, month. November is often the darkest month, although December has challenged that lately.

Edit: Although Sweden is a bit to the North of most of Europe. [:D]

Germany at Beginning of Impulse#5

SO39 Axis#5

Germany, Japan and Italy all take combined actions

1 Naval air mission by Germany
Adding He115C to 2 box in North Sea

Italy moved another CA out to East Med to protect its shipping

Japan moved Amp and Trn loaded with HQ-I and Militia straight into Canton

How about the Hungarian, and Bulgarian, claims on Rumania?

Japan's other naval move was to sail remaining Trn and a CA into China Sea and load up units from Sasebo

German Task Force from Memel sailed to 0 box in Baltic

CA Admiral Hipper loaded 3rd Inf Div from Copenhagen.

ORIGINAL: Orm

How about the Hungarian, and Bulgarian, claims on Rumania?

The claims were allowed, also no other Axis DOW's or Alignments

Naval moves over

2 Potential search zones for Germany who decline to search in either

CW can choose to initiate a search in the North Sea

I will send a save

No need to send a save for naval searches. In my humble opinion that is.

And CW decline to search in the North Sea.

Ok will send a save upon request.

No Axis Strategic Bombing
No Axis ground strikes

Only rail is 8-5 Arm in Lodz relocates to Aachen

Italy moved Balbo to Genoa and 2-2 AT into Leghorn

All 6 GER Land moves are in Poland in preparation for an assault on Warsaw
