The odds in Belgium are 40:18 or 2:1 (probably plus 3 but not sure of the armour). The Germans bring in no aircraft.

Italy

The odds in the Alps are 25:12 or 2:1+1. Again no aircraft are called up

Japan

The odds east of Sian are 53:6 or 7:1+1. Once again, no aircraft.


The aircraft available are as per the picture except there are 6, 5 and 4-strength fighters that can reach What do the French want to do?

2:1+4 and the French appear to have the choice?? What do the French wish to do?

Italy

2:1+1 and the French choose Assault

Japan

7:1+1 and I choose Assault on behalf of the Chinese as otherwise it would be an automatic attack

The fractionals fail (547 thrown) and a 6(8) is thrown. The Germans lose a unit and are all disorganised. The French lose 2 units. I assume the armour survives.

The Soviet Union demands security for Leningrad, and therefore demands the Finnish Borderlands. Will Germany pressure Finland to accept the claim? Or will a war break out between the two nations?

Land: France, China, CW
Combined: USA, USSR
Naval:

No port strikes. No naval air. No naval movement. No strategic bombing.

CW ground strike the German armour south-east of Brussels. Germany has lots of fighters that can intercept. See picture. CW has one fighter that can aid the bomber. Will Germany intercept the ground strike?

If Germany does not intercept, will the AA fire on the bomber?

For what?

For claiming the Finnish borderlands? No, no roll if the claim is allowed. However, if the claim is denied it is a roll for a Soviet DOW on Finland.

That didn't go so well for RAF.

I returned the German FTR2 from where it came. Can change it if you so desire.

I never remember, sometimes I think there is a throw for Eastern Poland or the Baltics? so why would it be different for Finland? Or Bessarabia? But then, I'm easily confused.
