Nah. It just proved that they didn't really consider Danzig important. So you should ask yourself what was the real reason for the German aggression.

End of turn roll is a 6 and the turn continues.

Hi Gents

Any plan for action today?

Just settling into the saddle.

More to follow.

J/F 40 Axis 12

No DoW or alignments.

Germany Land. Japan and Italy Combined.

Japs load Marine Div at Truk onto a CA and it sails in the company of another CA to South China Sea 4-box. Trans and Amph sail from China into the China Sea 2-box and load the two Jap Marine Corps.

Italy sails 2 BB, 3 CA and Trans to West Med 2-box. The Trans picks up Gen Balbo and the rest of his HQ.

Japs send a 2-factor bomber with fighter escort to ground strike Gen Chiang. Does the Chinese fighter wish to intercept?

Does the Chinese fighter wish to intercept?

Yes.

A short and bloody air combat ensues.

Pitiful.

Japs rail Gen Umezu back to Tsingtao.

Germany rails MECH from St-Malo to Warsaw, artillery from Paris to Warsaw and MIL from Amsterdam to Lodz.

Italy rails Inf from Turin to Rouen.

Italy moves Mot to Venice.

Japan moves an Art back into the mountains near Yenan and a Mil from Chengchow to Nanyang.

Over to Mayhemizer.

Italy disembarks HQ to La Spezia. Japan disembarks Marine Div to Hanoi.

Only one land combat, Germany attacks CW MOT. I believe CW fires full def shore bombardment?

Germany can use attacking HQ support (4), two bombers and a fighter shown in picture.

I believe CW fires full def shore bombardment?

Yes.

But no air support.

CW go with assault.

Germany uses attacking HQ support.

Germany sends Stuka for ground support (3 points after weather). CW doesn't send any planes to intercept?

CW doesn't send any planes to intercept?

No.

Germany rolls 7 for attacking HQ support.

Attack is the opposite of success.

Attack is the opposite of success.

At least Finland is in the final. Against Canada.
