Italy counts on good luck to continue and chooses both boxes.

Both French CP will abort as Italian NAV got through.

Axis stay for more, how about Allies?

Germany rails 2 Hungarian units from Yugoslavia to Poland and Hanover MIL to Memel.

Japan rails Harbin MIL to Wuhan and MAR div to Shanghai.

Japan occupies empty Ichang (rolled 3, no reaction from US).

Japan attacks Sian (+12 before HQ support) and partisan (automatic).

Does China want to use HQ support?

Status: offline 		Interesting strategy and I will be very interested in seeing it how it will play out. I've repeatedly heard WiF veterans saying it can't work, but I'm not sure I agree. I've read about a few failures, but I felt the Axis made mistakes in these games.

Beyond the obvious thing about the USSR, I think the main benefit is the lower US entry: No need to attack Belgium, no french conquest, that's -2.6 chits right away, more if an invasion of Spain is attempted. I feel attacking Netherlands is a mistake in that respect. Japan should also prioritize a joint invasion of the USSR as well as the resources there will be arguably easier to grab and will have a greater impact on the game. The western allies will be able to gangup on Italy though, so that's something to watch out for. But I believe that with the right assets, Germany can prop up Italy for a long time and minimal cost. Start bombing could be the western allies's best weapon.

Japan rebases bomber and fighter to Sian.

Germany rebases Stuka to Rumania, two bombers and fighter-bomber to Western Germany.

Italy rebases bomber from Albania to Leghorn.

Back to Allies in rainy weather.

West Med

The French fighter initiates the search. It catches the Italians completely by surprise (Allies 1, Axis 10).

The 0-box only is selected and a one-sided combat ensues, with no losses to the Allies but a lost CP and damaged CA for the Italians.

The French stay, how about the Italians?

North Sea.

Danish CA initiates. CW react Swordfish to 1-box and Blenheim to 3-box.

Germany could send a Do-17 to the 0-box. Will that be a no?

The Polish destroyer flotilla, on distant scouting, finds the venerable German BB Schlesien. They launch a spread of torpedoes and get a hit.
