Is there no US Entry roll for this?

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.

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.


There is a throw for both Eastern Poland and for the Baltics.

No idea why they made that difference. Maybe because the Baltic countries were considered taken by armed forces? And Eastern Poland was taken by act of war. But the ceding of Bessarabia and the Borderlands might be consider a new treaty of some sort?

Naval:

No port strikes. No naval air.

France:

No strategic bombing. No Ground Strikes.

Land Movement:

China Nat:

CAV 77,136->77,135

CW:
The Indian force in Libya continue to advance towards Benghazi.
The South African territorials pursue the retreating Italians.
The Delhi militia in Bombay move one hex to the NE.

France:
MIL (62,30) -> 63,30

Debark:

France:
MIL -> St-Nazaire

USA:
And here I expected USA to debark a unit. But the TRS was empty. This happens to often for comfort. You embark a unit on a TRS and move it to a sea area just to notice that the TRS is empty. Grrr. As this is USA I am not going back to fix it. Time will take care of this error. Fortunately for me I usually check this before moving on...

Land Combat:
The TERR attack the Italian INF a second time. The odds is still 4:1. Will it be blitz or assault this time?

Ground Strike (Air to Air Combat Subphase)

As before the orders are clear and so no reason not to roll the dice at the same time.

Round 1

Allies: 6 (AA) - the French send the German bomber back to base
Axis: 16 (DX) - the French fighter is destroyed. The pilot is saved.

The Germans try HQ support with von Rundstedt. The odds are 37:17 or 2:1 (I think +2 or +4 depending on the table chosen) The Germans fly no aircraft. German fighters are as per the above less the 5-strength that flew. What about the French?

Defensive HQ Support - Fails - a 7 is thrown

Germany

Attacking HQ Support - Fails - an 8 is thrown

So the two attacks are 4:1 no modifiers (Blitz) and 3:2 +4 (Blitz)

The Japanese Fractional succeeds (57 throw) and the land throw is a 6. The Japanese destroy the Warlord (let me know if that is okay) and the MIL is shattered (I do not convert)

The German Fractional fails (861 thrown) and the land throw is a 10(13). Two French units are lost and the third is shattered. The Armour survives and is shattered (I do not convert)
