I have taken control of the USA, Great Britain, France and Poland, plus I am in control of the neutral USSR, Belgium, the Netherlands, Jugoslavia, Norway, and Greece. Gary has Germany, Italy, Slovakia, and neutral Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria.
19390901 : GB : The Germans have violated Polish borders, despite our guarantees of support. Hitler has chosen a great European war to have his way with the Poles. His Majesty's government, in conjunction with the government of the Third Republic, have decided to move against Germany and defeat this aggression. The Royal Navy and Royal Air Forces have moved into position, and we are getting ready to move an expeditionary force to France. The staff has determined that we must defend Great Britain from parachute operations, and possible naval activity, and so we will not allow the ground forces in Great Britain to fall below a garrison equal to, or greater than an infantry division for each major city, and those ground units raised from major ports will be level two at least. These ground forces may not actually garrison the cities as the southern coast is more vulnerable. The Royal navy will be in home waters at first, but we expect the French navy to move into the Atlantic soon, while the RN moves south. The RAF has moved to France, but we intend it to head south also. Italy is an Axis leaning neutral and His Majesty's government has determined that if she enters this conflict she will pay a price.
France : The North African colonies resound to marching feet as the colonial troops are brought to Metropolitan France. The port of Tunis has already shipped out the first troops with more to follow. The strong naval presence in the west has allowed the garrison troops of the west to march east toward the German border.
Poland : Rapid movement, units deep into Poland already, we are pulling back, taking up new positions, hoping for Western airpower. The loss of Danzig means no supplies or troops from the Western Powers, and the USSR is moving troops about.
