Lol! Fell at the first hurdle. Looks like I need to get used to the HQ movement thingy [&:] Japanese first move on Chengchow hasn't gone as planned.... oh well.

Germany

The Polish destroyer and the convoy both head for the UK (5 and 6 thrown) and I place with the fleet in Portsmouth.

Land Combat:
Germany

Three attacks are announced. Two automatic either side of Lodz-Warsaw and an attack on Lodz which I assume to be on the assault table.

No HQ Support
No Ground Support

The fractionals fail (647 thrown) but the Germans take Lodz (a 9(10) is thrown).

I lost the pictures of the two automatics....but here is the Lodz attack.

Italy takes a pass first impulse of the game? What’s the thought process there?

Well I wasn't going to declare war so there really wasn't much for me to do without spending a load of oil I could do without consuming. I suppose I could move a few non oil-dependent troops around but there was no real need, so Pass it was.

Perfect. [:)]

If there, for any reason, should be more minor ships sailing for UK ports then, if possible without interception, they can head for Liverpool. And Plymouth as secondary port if Liverpool is out of bounds.

And if that doesn't work then I trust you do as you think is best and practical. [:)] [&o]
