Welcome readers,

This is the companion game to UK vs Nordic 1.

Same optional rules and USSR-Jap pact.

Warspite1 is playing USSR/France and the Communists, while I mismanage CW/US and the Nationalists.

Not sure yet of whom is taking on which of the Axis powers, although there is a rumour of Orm taking the Italians.

US Lend-lease.

US puts 2 chits in GE/It and 1 in Jap.

US scraps

US sets up fleets in Norfolk and San Francisco. AA Gun and Nimitz on the West Coast. Motorised ART and Eng on East Coast.

The USSR scrap the worst fighter and 3 pretty rubbish TRS. I refuse to scrap any land units - I have a feeling I am going to need every single one....

The Soviets make clear their intentions with the 1st Persian Front setting up for a pincer movement against Tehran

Meanwhile Timoshenko prepares his forces for action in Romania

Gents

I take it the Soviet / Japanese pact is in place - it wasn't something we had to negotiate separately? And the garrison values required are as per the rule book?

Indeed.

I continue my trend of scrapping a lot of units.

And the main portion of the Italian forces.

The Nationalists scrap the 2 rubbish air units and set up like this.

The Chinese Communist set up is pretty standard I think

CW scraps

CW scatters their forces as usual/required. Significant deployments are:

Gort, Mech and INF Div at Plymouth with TRANS x2. Wavell, AT gun at Alexandria with TRANS. The Queens are at Bombay. 2 x MOT at Bristol. INF at Gib. ENG at Malta.

1 CV at Plymouth, 2 CV's at Gibraltar. Various BB and CA's accompany.

The French scrap some pretty standard stuff, although they don't scrap any land units.

Looks like those morons at Microsoft have removed Paint - thanks for telling me - as well as mucking up my ability to read document [:@][:@]

But I managed to get this to work (thanks to my elder warspite [;)] who seem to understand all this ****). Anyway the French set up as usual, cursing the fact that they have no units and especially cursing the rubbish TERR draws they got....

I've still got Paint in Windows 10. It's under the Window's Accessories folder.

The Japanese scraps fairly many units as well.

The Japanese defence force on a peace keeping mission in China.

I've still got Paint in Windows 10. It's under the Window's Accessories folder.

I just type "paint" in the "Type here to search" box on the left side of my taskbar. Paint (desktop app) is the first thing found.
