Secret intelligence on the Allied commander:

1939-9-1

Italy focuses on naval air tech, and modifies all its bomber units. No reinforcements for now, we want to build a paratrooper.

Germany will go for heavy armor. I usually just stick with Breakthrough, but let's see if heavy armor can be just as good.

Casualties in Poland are fairly heavy. I don't have a set plan for this, and perhaps make a few attacks too many.

In the west we bomb Lyon for 4 damage with no losses, impressive success for a type of warfare that sometimes hurts the attacker as much as the defender.

We also ready an attack on Denmark, and set reinforce to 50.

1939-9-15

The darn Poles cut off our supplies. But Polands fate is sealed, with very light casualties the country surrenders.

Germany builds the 3 Panzer, of the heavy variant. Denmark is attacked but not conquered (can we lure an Allied unit to Copenhagen?).

We continue our strategic bombing of France, and get to shoot down some French planes as a bonus.

1939-9-29

Germany builds the 4 Panzer, delivery in April. Italy builds a paratrooper and sets reinforce to 500.

No further strategic bombing is attempted. Our two panzer corps are tired, an attack on Belgium before winter looks highly unlikely.

Denmark surrenders. Germany builds the 5 Panzer. German AA guns are being redsitributed.
