CW port strike the German fleet but I still wonder why I even bother. The surprise roll was a two so the port strike had no effect worth mentioning.

I had hoped I could take out the HQ but not now. Bad weather in the Northern Monsoon too . Oh well, let's see what is possible for the Axis this impulse.

No declarations of war. The Japanese take a combined and the Germans a land.

The Imperial Guard are sent to Hainan.
The rest of the Japanese TRS capacity is sent to the China Sea.

The Japanese use their 3 moves to shuffle units in the north and to take the port of Wenchow in the south.

The Germans surround Warsaw for a 5:1 + 1 attack.

Its a 3(4) and the Germans only gain Warsaw because the Poles cannot retreat. All units are turned face down.

The Japanese announce one attack - that north of Wenchow on a 3:1. What table do the Chinese choose?

Sadly I am in no position to take advantage of a change in the weather as most of my units are face down. I need to do something though, and the Chinese front is the only place where I have any options - unless I want to invade Denmark....

I have set up troops on the Danish border so might as well use them. The roll is an 8 so Congress are distinctly bored by European matters

Does the CW want to align Denmark and where do they set up?

I try and do some damage to the Danish vessels in the north of the country. I get surprise on my side but cannot really use it - I can only decrease AA fire - but expected losses are nil anyway.

I aim for the CP and disorganise it. The CW has the choice next and as ORM is not around - and on the basis that the ships are pretty rubbish, and finally due to the fact the best result is an abort anyway, I choose Peder Skram and its rubbish movement. She too was disorganised.

I try a ground strike against the Communist unit south of Yenan, but this fails on a throw of 4.

I rail a GARR and an HQ between Tungkwan and Kaifeng
I rail an HQ, an INF and an AT to the Dutch/Belgian area.

I sent a Division to Fredrikshaven with mixed results:
- Niels Juel (which I didn't hit) makes it to Plymouth
- Peder Skram (which I did) becomes German!!
- The CP is destroyed.

I have only a few units that the Germans and Japanese have left to move and that, aside from a reshuffling of German fighters in the west, brings and end to my impulse.

The turn continues on a 7.

Increase damage is in the next spend surprise points form. I am not sure if Warspite1 just missed, or forgot, that or if it was a bug. We have previously received, and used, that form to increase damage.

No bug - I just missed it No idea why they would be separated like that but my error regardless.

Not much that the Allies want to do but since I feel no emergency at the moment I rather move a couple of units than pass.

Nothing much to say about the impulse except that China rebase their fighter from the south to the north.

End of turn roll was a 7 so the turn continues and the weather roll was a two so the nice weather continues.

Now that the turn continues with fine weather I feel the panic and like the huge idiot that I am. Why didn't I just pass instead!!!

I've been poring over the maps and I am obviously missing a trick here - but cannot see what it is. You feel panic because you didn't end the turn, so there must be something I can do. Trouble is I can't figure it. I have only a couple of Germans left to move, I have no Japanese troops that can mount any attack other than a suicidal 1:1. May be it's the fleets or the Italians??

All I can see is that I can achieve nothing that hurts the Allies but with the downside of having more chance of ending a turn I started. I just don't know what I am supposed to be looking for here - but hopefully I'll work it out if I have a clear head and a fresh look in the morning.

Status: offline 		It is not that I see anything special. I have a general dislike of giving Axis any extra fine weather impulses this early in the game.

And the panic is more because I didn't see anything really dangerous before my last impulse. And the impulse will end anyway. Or it will be lousy weather. So no risk in doing an Allied impulse. HA! The turn didn't end. The lousy weather is absent. Maybe there is something sneaky that I missed...

Just letting the Japanese troops move annoys me. Stupid of me to move last impulse.

I see myself making the same argument this impulse as well. It is 80% chance that the turn will end after this impulse if I move so why not move a couple of units since the impulse will end anyway... Right!

I learned my lesson and the Allies all pass and automatically end the turn.

No partisans.
