If Germany does declare war on Spain I say that it is time for USSR to move all its forces to the German border and make an attempt to break the pact while Germany is occupied in Spain.

Yes it's not looking great is it? I think not declaring Vichy should be considered if the Germans get off to a flyer against France, otherwise.....

The Axis have caught a break with the weather this impulse - they need to make use of it.

The Luftwaffe attempt four air strikes - Nantes, Toulouse, The British Army between Bordeaux and Bayonne and the French 10th Infantry west of Toulouse.

The He-111 bomber over Nantes excels himself - but this is not the key hex!

To Southern France now and its a 3:1 +1 on the Blitz table.

Its a 4(5) . The Germans lose a unit and are disorganised. The only good news is that the British are also destroyed as they cannot retreat. But that attack has pretty much sealed the Germans fate....

Status: offline 		And Toulouse still holds. Vive La France. I think the USSR are in a very good shape by now, aren't they? Two whole years to build up the army and the airforce... Have they grabbed Persia yet? If not, it's about time to do so in the upcoming winter months...

The CW has got losses, that's for sure. But on the other hand, time is slipping away for Germany very, very fast...

If I were the Germans, I would leave Spain alone now, swing over to Russia, and try for a '42 Barbarossa. It might work; going for Spain at this point won't. Also, a Vichy declaration now might mean there is no Free France, as there is no place for the French navy in France.

I think I agree. Declare Vichy and see what happens with the Free French. If they aren't created, that's very good for the Axis. Spain in 1942 is a very difficult thing, because it's got more units to build up a good defense. Especially if the CW can assist with the airforce and the USSR build up the forces in the common border, Germany won't have the forces necessary to conquer Spain and keep the Russian bear in it's cage...

Interestingly I am no longer asked if I want to declare Vichy - only if I want to surrender.

The CW choose a naval and set about sending their AMPH/TRS all over the globe to bring military assets from the Empire to where they are most needed. The Dutch TRS heads for Canada to pick up an INF, a TRS already in South Africa heads for Egypt carrying another INF, while units from the UK are being prepared for transfer to the Mediterranean - specifically Gibraltar and Malta.

The RN send a submarine patrol to the Italian Coast to seek out the Italian convoys from Sardinia. The RAF join the party, bringing in a Sunderland Flying boat. Fliegerkorps X send in a Bf-110 to fly cover over the convoys.

The Allies roll a 2
The Axis roll a 4

The Allies successfully find the convoy and have 6 surprise points to spend. The British want to avoid an air battle given the fighter cover in place - they spend 4 points to choose the combat type.

The final two points are used to decrease the enemy combat column.

The subs get amongst the convoys and cause them to scatter (abort).

Job done, the British withdraw.

There is little else for the Allies to do this turn. The Chinese Communists continue moving east to pressure the Japanese forces in northern China.
