Status: offline 		Me and the Ormster are about to start a 3rd game; me as the Axis and Orm as the Allies. Same optionals as before less forts. 3 House rules in play as follows:

1) 50% of all minor country land units must be placed in the home country (minimum 1) with the exceptions of Netherlands and Portugal if the attacking nation is Japan.
2) No raids in the Baltic Sea during '39 after that there are no restrictions on raiding the Baltic Sea.
3) CW may only fly one air mission against Germany on the surprise.

And the Poles are going to need lots of good luck to survive this turn.

The Polish set up.

This time the Poles make certain they not only get their aircraft, but also the HQ to the UK. With no hope of re-organisation, I therefore send over one Stuka to each of Lodz and Warsaw.

Well that's a bit of a downer right at the start of the game - I appear to have place an entire Japanese army on an island

Edit: And I've mis-calculated the number of movement points required for an attack in the north..... What a twat!

The Germans declare 4 attacks:

- Lodz
- Poznan
- northeast of Warsaw
- north of Katowice

The Japanese declare two attacks, but then - my bottle totally gone - I back out of both I have no +1. I do have enough aircraft to get a 4:1 in the north so I go for it....

I bring in 3 aircraft to Lodz to try and get 5:1. I am one short but suspect I would be unlikely not to get the fractional odds on that basis.

The other Polish attacks should all be automatic.

I try the same tactic in China and refuse to use all 4 points required - I go for three so I still have one aircraft left if there is another shot at an attack later in the turn.

So the attacks:

First off its southwest Poland. The Germans get to choose as so at 7:1 its automatic.

Next its Poznan and another automatic attack - even with the Assault table.

The third attack is in the forest north of Warsaw, and the the presence of von Rundstedt makes this automatic too.

Sorry I forgot to say - the Polish Destroyer Flotilla was captured by the 35th Infantry Corps, but the CP escaped to the UK (Liverpool).

And that leaves the attack on Lodz at 5:1+1 (Assault)....

a 6(7) is thrown and Lodz falls.

And so to the one attack in China. Its 3:1 and I am assuming Assault.

Not it's not - blitz it is. I throw a 3 and assume the worst but instead the Chinese is destroyed at the cost of disorganisation.

So that was a bad call on my part.

Edit: Why couldn't you have rolled a 4 instead.

I decide not to reorganise my Stuka with von Bock but do reorganise 3 units with Umezu.

Bloody Hell! The Western Allies have finally grown a set and declared war on Germany. Hitler is not amused and calls out the reserves. Roosevelt does not take kindly to this action either.
