So few losses this far in the war is a bit strange. I think things will change a bit next turn. Just a hunch...

US Entry
US Entry continues to crawl upwards. A "1" is pulled for the JA pool (again!), then for options, the US picks East Coast escort and DOESNT make the tension roll, ugh. Then chooses Occupy Greenland which does move a FOUR!! nice.
For the JA pool, US chooses LL to China, but the Japanese have already closed the Burma road earlier politically and US doesn't have the entry level to reopen it. But at least the tension roll is hit and a "1" is moved to the tension pool.
So tension is way high comparatively in the GE/IT pool at 18! (even higher than entry), but way low in JA pool. To gear up we need an 11 in BOTH...ugh
We're getting there... sloooooowly..

May/Jun 1940
France
Ok, folks. Things start getting exciting now. May comes and with it clear weather everywhere. The Germans use an O-chit on Rundstedt and the Luftwaffe takes to the air. This was a few weeks ago and I don't have all the details of all the air results but I have reconstructed all the vital land moves via my saved games.
Air-wise, I do know that both the D510 and Potez FTRs are both shot down for no German losses (some may have been aborted but I didn't keep those records)
They concentrate attacks on two hexes, and use up all of the offensive chit benefits.
The first attack, at Reims, is done on the BLITZ table, and results in the 1-3 DIV and 4-3 INF destroyed, and the 5-2 Paris MIL shattered.
The second attack, 1 hex NW of Reims, also BLITZ, and results in the 2-3 AA and 5-4 INF destroyed, with the 5-4 MTN corps shattered.
The French line is blown wide open!
Mediterranean
Meanwhile, the invasion of Greece will commence as long as the weather holds up, but since Italy wants to do a bunch of invasions and wants surprise, they must hold up in DOW just yet. So Italy calls a Naval and moves the entire fleet, plus 7 DIVs, all loaded on Cruisers to the East Med. If the weather cooperates, next impulse Italy will call a land and them and the Germans will DOW on Greece.
During the impulse, Italian SUBs find and sink the French CP in West Med.

In reaction to the losses, the CW starts ground striking the Northern end of the German lines. This results in 1 German MOT and a INF DIV disrupted. This was acceptable for the Germans as they were not part of the attacking forces for the next impulse.
The French are pretty helpless as they can't mount an effective counter to the German units, other than throwing themselves in suicide 1:1 attacks. Paris is still safe with the new HQ and the returning shattered units from last turn, and there is still a chance they could hold on another turn, but things are starting to look bad, and bad attacks will likely hasten their doom.
On the next German impulse, Fine weather continues, and in addition to the DOW on Greece (to be discussed later) they decide to keep up the attacks with all haste.
2 more attacks are planned, as circled in red on the attached map image.
Both hexes are flanking the Georges HQ and the 7-6 ARM, which the Germans decide to leave alone, at least this impulse.
The first attack, east of the HQ, targets the 4-3 Lyons MIL and the 2-3 AT gun. Both are destroyed.
The second attack, NW of the HQ, targets the 4-2 Marseilles MIL and a 4-5 MOT. Again, both are destroyed.
So far, not a single German unit has been lost.

France
Before we show what's going on in the Med, we'll follow the war in France to the end of the turn.
After the Axis's 2nd Impulse, the French realized that they need to start falling back and cover the approaches to the capital. So far 10 corps had been removed from the map, and there were at least 3-4 more GARR units encircled in the Maginot area.
Drastic decisions were made, and a general retreat was called to get back behind the river line alongside Paris. As a result, the Georges HQ, disrupted due to giving defensive HQ support last impulse, was left behind while the other units in the hex, including the 7-6 ARM retreat west.
At the same time, Storms fire up throughout Europe in both N. Temperate and N. Monsoon, and the French hope that slows down the German juggernaut.
In effect it does, as only 1 attack was done this impulse, on the lone HQ. Even with the defensive odds help because of storm, it is destroyed en masse.

The weather clears, and at this, with 9 corps destroyed and 2 shattered, the quickness of the collapse of the French army has the Germans smelling blood.
3 more attacks are planned on this impulse (and what would turn out to be the last) for the Axis in May/Jun.
They are all against lone, low-strength units.
1. SW of Metz, encircled 4-1 GAR destroyed
2. NW of Paris, lone 4-3 INF, in a blitz attack
3. East of Vichy, 3-1 GAR destroyed, with on the breakthrough the capture of Vichy
(at the same time the Italians, who had crossed the border last impulse, were able to capture Lyons)
Here is the picture just prior to these attacks:

RE: Another Solo Global AAR
May/Jun 1940
Greece
As mentioned before, while France is dying in the West, the Hellenic Republic is also targeted by the Axis war machine.
On the first impulse, Italy chose a Naval, while the Germans on the border waited.
On the second impulse, with Fine Weather, Italy chose a Land, and Germany and Italy declared war on Greece. Amazingly no reaction to the DOW by the US. At this point the Axis is feeling everything is falling into plan.
With surprise in hand, a large CW fleet has to sit idle in reaction to the attack on Greece. About the only good news was the fact that the Luftwaffe Ju88 missed in its ground strike on the 4-4 MTN unit guarding the northern approaches to Athens. As a result, the German mechanized forces would not elect to attack the MTN unit, and the only combats were the invasions. Italy landed DIVs at two different hexes flanking Athens, plus one of the minor ports in southern Greece. The CW TRSs are out of position, and theoretically they could only land one TERR without HQ support, so conservatively, they decide not to put any effort into reinforcing Greece. All of the invasions are automatics.
In response, the CW moves the 4-4 MTN back towards the capital to try and cover an exposed hexside. At this point, we see the situation prior to the Axis's 3rd impulse where they will ignore the MTN unit and attack Athens from NW and SE with Naval bombardment support. The CW also throws in ground support from the carriers in the East Med.
The result of the battle is the capture of Athens by Italian troops!
On the ensuing Allied impulse, with the country about to fall, and no way to evac the MTN corps, it conducts a suicide attack at negative odds. This heroic action results in the first Axis loss in the European war, an Italian broken down DIV, as well as the loss of the MTN corps.

There is some maneuvering of no consequence in the North, but in South China, the Nationalist army is in trouble.
As mentioned from last turn, the last Allied impulse left a 2-4 CAV corps on its own out on the west end of the Nationalist line.
The Japanese army declares one attack on their first impulse, as shown in the picture below. The result is the loss of the CAV corps.

On the 2nd Axis impulse, if I remember correctly, the Japanese air force actually flips one of the defending units, and the Japanese declare one attack. Its on the clear hex W of Changsha, and results in the destruction of a 1-2 DIV (broken down) and the 3-2 Shanghai MIL. (NOTE: due to Shanghai already being in Japanese hands, this MIL cannot be built again)

China
The 3rd Axis impulse has no attacks as the weather turns to Storm, and the Chinese falling back as much as possible. Chiang orders a retreat northward towards Wuhan, using Lake Tungting as a shield on their western flank.
This does buy them some time, but the weather improves on the 4th Axis impulse, and the Japanese thrown everything including Yamamoto HQ support into an attack on the Resource hex NE of Henyang.
Defending there is a 4-3 MIL and 4-2 INF. The Chinese, who have been calling the Blitz table the entire turn, get some solace in getting a destroy + shatter result. They elect to shatter the INF, and destroy the MIL, since they can rebuild it quicker.
Here is the scene before the final Japanese attack of the turn.

Is it time to evac the BEF? Probably.
(Note: I'm not sure but I think France was given the opportunity to surrender. France declined and will continue to decline as US Entry is too low in the Allies opinion and need all the help it can get. If Germany Vichys France, so be it. Most of the fleet is in likely to go Free French possessions).

With more Japanese forces arriving each turn, the Communists pull back their main line to Sian the mountain gap guarding it.
Notice the 5-3 capture the Nationalist city to the south of the Japanese. A new corps will be arriving next turn and will be placed there. This will give the Japanese pause on whether to keep pursuing west and risk exposing their flank to these units.

For the Japanese they finally have secured enough land to actually bring additional resources to production. 2 resources are now flowing unrestricted to Canton.
Of course, at the same time, if you notice in the prior post, a partisan shows up and takes away one of the resources up north! Gah!

Two things to notice here.
First the German controlled partisan. Without an HQ, it is out of reach unless Clear weather, which hasn't been too common in India.
This is the point at which I decided to stop rolling for partisans. Realistic? The idea of partisans sure is but the implementation seems a bit too much a distraction from gameplay, which is what this is supposed to be.
Also notice the myriad of forces that have been moved to India, including the Belgian territorial. Kinda neat.

Normally, heavy gains by the Axis equate to higher US Entry. As of this point, that is not the case.

Europe
During the reinforcement phase, France receives the 5-2 Paris MIL and 5-4 MTN corps that were shattered last turn.
Paris is full, but the 5-2 MIL is place just SW in the adjacent hex. The 5-4 MTN is placed in the factory hex in Western France and will stay there to somehow try to hold out a needed city for conquest.
Axis wins the initiative roll and decides to go first.
Weather is FINE everywhere except North Monsoon. Most of the action in China is right on the border of North Monsoon and North Temperate, so that could complicate things, but lets talk France first.
Germany decides that it wants to take Paris this impulse, and launches a full scale assault. Since the Allies all passed last turn, in effect the Axis is having a double move, and can take advantage of the results of the last turn.
During the ground strike phase, the French LeO tactical bomber is disorganized by Stukas since it is sitting in Paris, as well as all the defenders. I believe the Germans also used ART bombardment as well. A bit overkill but they want the option to Vichy this turn.
Germany also performs a paradrop as well as HQ support from Rundstedt.
The Land Combat results in the 6-4 INF and 3-2 AT gun being destroyed, with the Billotte HQ being shattered. The Germans lose their first land unit of the game, a 2-4 DIV (broken down).

France has no real land moves due to most of their forces being out of supply, so they call a combined and move their SUB out, which doesn't find the Italian convoys. CW performs a Naval and evacuates the BEF, as well as finishes moving all the Netherlands naval units (cruisers and SUB) to New Hebrides in the Pacific.
For the 2nd Axis impulse, Italy calls another land, and continues to maneuver on the French forces in the south. They are already out of supply and they are able to finally get a ratio they can live with, and they declare an attack on the 3-3 INF. They also decide to pull their 1-4 TERR back towards Tunis, as they don't have enough strength to force out the Algerian TERR that is now present in Algiers.
The Germans encircle the 5-2 Paris MIL and declare an attack there as well. They plan on bypassing the other stacks of French units where possible and begin moving troops to the south for possible attack on Spain. In addition, they assign the 5-4 MOT to screen the French MTN unit until they decide what to do with it.
Both combats are complete victories, with no Axis losses.
(In addition the D510 French fighter is overran when the hex is taken)
Here are the declared attacks:
