In the west, sitzkrieg continues.

As a side not I'm a total noob at playing the CW. My knowledge of the convoy system is very basic. Steep learning curve but i'm trying lol.

OKW was very concerned about this, hence German naval manoeuvres last turn that ended with our sacrificing the Scharnhorst. We were looking to work an edge by shore bombardment or invasion if the weather shifted.

I'll take the exchange.

The weather is beautiful. A sight for sore German eyes.

Japan and Germany land, Italy combined.

Japanese Nells hit Chungking for a change, and hard.

Status: offline 		The Allied propaganda above neglected to mention a devastating British air raid on Berlin that cost Germany 2pp and was deeply embarrassing on a political level, given the lack of air cover near the capital.

This is an unacceptable escalation. The Fuehrer has accordingly declared war on Belgium.

Belgium is nothing more than a British conspiracy to weaken Mitteleuropa with chocolate, surrealism, and other unspeakable deviations. And it is in the way. Britain has done nothing but provoke.

Schlieffen Plan v2.0 opens with ground strikes on Brussels and Gort's HQ at Dunkirk.

But the Dorniers get through. The Bf109s survive a roll of 9 and abort.

Antwerp is occupied. Paratroopers are deployed for the first time over the stunned Belgian capital.

The US yawns, roll 3. No chit.

But the attack cuts the two Chinese Nationalist units in the mountains to the NW out of supply.

Status: offline 		The Germans rebase a strong fighter to Brussels and present a fierce defensive front across Flanders.

The Fuehrer is satisfied with the opening impulse of his grand offensive in the west.

The Japanese rebase a naval bomber north towards Terauchi's army group.

Consecutive impulses of good weather and my opponent telling me to make the most of it. We have a good connection on whatsapp, where the business that doesn't always get reported gets sorted. A comradely spirit.

Italy and Japan combined, Germany land.

The Italians have more petrol than they know what to do with. Il Duce is showing off to visiting Persian and Romanian delegations.

Whenever he hears the word 'escort' he reaches for his revolver.

There is air combat above Gort's HQ as the Belgian airforce reacts to Luftwaffe ground support. A Heinkel squadron is aborted.

Status: offline 		Yamamoto's assault on Wuhan is a bloody affair, in keeping with the character of the war in China so far.

Despite HQ and air support the Japanese lose the Imperial Guard. But take the city.

Nobody cares in the US (roll 6).
