Me and the Ormster are about to start a 4th game; me as the Allies and Orm as the Axis. Same optionals as before less forts. 3 House rules in play as follows:

1) 50% of all minor country land units must be placed in the home country (minimum 1) with the exceptions of Netherlands and Portugal if the attacking nation is Japan.
2) No raids in the Baltic Sea during '39 after that there are no restrictions on raiding the Baltic Sea.
3) CW may only fly one air mission against Germany on the surprise.

There are no Lend Lease options taken up. Following Orm's lead the long range US fighter is tempting but I decide to stick as is.

The US scrapping involves all aircraft, and the worst of the TRS, SUB and GARR.

I scrap nothing with the Soviets on the basis that I clicked the wrong button.

I find it really irritating in computer games when you do something and then you have to click a second time when the computer asks are you sure?

I find it really irritating in computer games when you do something and do it wrong but the computer does not ask you are you sure?

At least you can scrap again before the first production and USSR do not scrap that much anyway.

Yes, its not big deal - just annoying considering how long I've been playing to make that school boy error [8|]

The Soviet set-up follows Orm's in AWAII and sees a mass build up in Asia along the Soviet-Persian border.

Italy scrap plenty of units and set up heavily on the French border.

The Chinese scrap nothing.

The CW scrap most of the FAA, a rubbish LND and two subs.

The Italians look menacing in East Africa....

The French scrap quite a lot as usual..

Edit: Sorry - that picture is wrong I scrapped one too many subs so re-did it. All the same except now only one sub.

I forgot to take a picture of the French - but its all routinely predictable anyway. Move along now, nothing to see....

Japan set up heavily in central China. Japan also scrapped heavily.

Germany scrapped a few units.

Germany is ready of war if you do not surrender the Polish corridor.

The German forces massing on the Dutch/Danish borders look ominous. In the meantime the Poles set up.

Germany and Japan take a land impulse.

No Port Strikes. No naval air.

Italy send out a submarine squadron on patrol.

No strategic bombing.

Germany ground strike Warsaw and Lodz.

Japan ground strike the Chinese units in the Mufu mountains. Will China intercept?

No interception thank-you.

The first ground strike go better than expected.
