In a rare adress to the french nation Reynaud utters the now well known words "We shall fight them in the alps, we shall fight them from under the seas, we shall never surrender, or att least not until we are done enjoying this lovely spring in Paris" In London Mr Churchill is inspired to a not that famous speech of his own.

Mar/Apr '40 Impulse #6 (Allies) USSR rail one ART from Chisinau to Leningrad. Land Movement: USSR CAV (Mongolia) 55,138 -> 52,142 INF Murmansk -> 22,53 CAV Div 35,55 -> 34,55 China Com: MIL 73,135 -> 75,136 WAR 69,134 -> 72,134 China Nat: CAV Sian -> 74,137 CAV 78,135 -> Sian MIL 81,137 -> 80,137 MIL 88,136 -> 89,136 WAR 81,138 -> 81,137 France: INF Metz -> 57,31 MIL Strasbourg -> Metz CAV Paris -> 60,31 CW: 2nd Infantry Division liberate Addis Ababa, and capture the Italian supply depot. The Kenyan Territorial Corps enters The Italian Somaliland and advance along the coast towards Mogadishu. The 16th Indian Corps moves Westward, from Alexandria, towards the Libyan border. It is a little annoying that I forgot to check the first part of the route that the division took towards Addis Ababa. I just assumed that it would follow the railroad. And once again I am teached a lesson that never assume anything when it comes to MWIF. [image]local://upfiles/29130/652D93DF88DD438D91D6E45ED32D8676.jpg[/image]

On the 15th of March the 2nd infantry division moved out of Djibouti. They soon entered the route that Graziani had followed across the Awash River. They marched first of all along the tarmac surface of the 30-foot-wide Strada Imperiale, through the hot, scrub covered coastal flats. Every 10 miles a flamboyant kilometre post bore the name of some celebrated general who had helped create the Empire, and every three miles a overturned Italian lorry bore witness to the fast collapse of it. After 56 miles they came to greener country. They swept past a rather embarrassed looking Fascist Eagle which stands on the main street in a village. They passed a house at the nearby crossroads where the Italians had improvised defences with old Chianti bottles. The Strada Imperiale had faded out, the roads grew rapidly worse, but the division never paused. They swept across the East African Rift and past a broken statue of Mussolini which, chinless and bullet-riddled, stands in the deserted land like the bust of Ozymandias, King of Kings. They climbed some 7,700 feet, and marched some 700 miles. Despite the numerous defensive positions, and landmines in abundance, the division reached Addis Ababa in what could be considered the fastest pursuit in history.

Mar/Apr 1940 Impulse: 7 (Axis) Declarations of War and Alignments: None Japan: Land Germany: Combined Italy: Land Naval Air: None Naval Movement: Germany A SUB moves to the Faroes Gap 1-box and initiates combat. Axis - 1 Allies - 1 The CW show 2 aborted. As the better defence I put De Ruyter in the firing line on behalf of the CW player. The throws were 10 and 9.

Mar/Apr 1940 Impulse: 7 (Axis) Naval Search: Germany I assume on behalf of the CW player that they stick around. Ah I see peskpesk is around - are you happy with this or to abort? [image]local://upfiles/28156/C989F0C983744C26AF76C58BAC10B244.jpg[/image]

peskpesk -> RE: News From the Front - 4 player game (3/11/2020 7:14:03 AM)
Ok, with light CA abort. Allies stay.

Mar/Apr 1940 Impulse: 7 (Axis) Naval Search: Germany Axis - 8 Allies - 5 No combat. Where does Tromp abort to? Edit: Okay to keep the game moving, and to try and get the impulse done before work, I've aborted to Belfast. Strategic Bombardment: None Ground Strike: None Rail Movement: None Land Movement: Japan A MAR DIV takes Yenan. The US maybe didn't get the memo (a 10 is thrown). The same communication issue appears to have happened following the taking of Ningsia (a 6 is thrown). Germany A MIL heads for Poland Italy There is some adjustment to the front line on the French border and a MIL heads for Nice. The Eritrean TERR moves to Asmara Land Combat: None Air Rebase: Japan The two FTR in China re-position slightly to take account of the changing front line Germany A bomber moves to Saarbrucken Reorganisation: None End of Turn: Turn ends on less than a 2. It continues on a 3
