Sept. 15 1939

Poland conquers Breslau. Hah!

China rushes units and headquarters to the south. Cancels fighter research, starts infantry research.

France purchases an anti-air unit and declares that Italy is restricted to the Mediterranean.

UK cancels heavy bomber research and disbands its unit in favor of a massive industrial program.

Oct. 13 1939

Poland surrenders. Very little else going on.

8. December 1939

Changsha just holds. All is quiet in Europe. The British fleet raid Norwegian waters. Some u-boats are active but bad weather prevents any serious attempts at hunting them down.

5. January 1940

Changsha falls, but otherwise China is holding fairly well. Double research is going in both infantry techs, and anti-air is being researched too.

Meanwhile Germany invades Belgium (only). Allied defenses are far from ready.

2. February 1949

Fighting in China continues.

German assault on France starts, the army defending the mines in Loos is obliterated. For some reason the Germans are also making an assault on the Maginot line.

In a counter-offensive, British bombers inflict 2 step losses on II Corps (the extreme western German flank). And the French 9th and 3rd armies inflict massive casualties on a German army, forcing it to retreat (6 or 7 steps?).

1. March 1940

Japan breaks through at Changsha.

In France, Germany advances cautiously. We settle for bombing the lead corps.

29. March 1940

France is exhausted and headed for a fall.

26. April 1940

France somehow still holds out but there is nothing resembling a front-line left. Japan advances in the south, Nanning will fall shortly.

24. May 1940

Nanning falls, but China now has Infantry Weapons 1, can it help hold the Japanese at bay?

Somehow France is still in the war. Evacuation to Algeria begins.

The Allies lose the battle for Narvik. Montgommery takes over the defense of Egypt.

So far the Allies have failed to defend Poland, Finland, France, Benelux, Denmark and Norway.

21 June 1940

Vichy France is established. South African forces assault Mogadishu.

19. July 1940

China is desperately trying to hold on. Mogadishu falls.

16. August 1940

China struggles to hold on. Japanese forces are building up on the Soviet border.

13. September 1940

The army defending Kweichow is destroyed.

11. October 1940

Things are really quiet. The Japanese make a few attacks on a Chinese corps.

8. November 1940

Another quiet month. Chinese loses a corps and the Communists join the war.
