Georges gets lucky here, his INF can retreat all the way to Vichy!

The US rolled 2 and took umbrage, +1 chit.

The new Japanese 14 Infantry was transported from Fukuoka to Canton.

Much to the surprise of the German Army a french partisan appears all the coast right on top of 2 German bombers. Destroying one and forcing the other to rebase.

It's been a lot of fun. But this sudden end of turn is a blow to the Germans. Grand strategy may hinge on it as we are now hostages to the weather. Meanwhile the Italians and the Japanese are not bothered at all.

At least it was only a Dornier. But end of turn takes the wind from Germany's sails somewhat.

I think it too late in the year for a Spanish strategy to be viable, so the Russians had better be prepared to have some "visitors" in 1941.

With weather having been bad through the Spring, I was hoping for at least another impulse and preferably more.

Now Germany is hostage to the weather, though Sept/Oct 1940 starts fine.

Is there a cut-off point do you think in attempting a 1940 invasion of Spain?

Yes. It the Axis can get an attack in early J/A, it should do well. Any later is asking for trouble. A long, dry S/O can save them, but a wet or short one and a close the Med strategy will probably not work.

Status: offline 		i am beginning to think weather is too swingy and impacting in this game ;-)

I wonder how some variation like, no end of turn if the %<50 unless 2 in a row (ie if need <3 and roll 2 ok and then need <4 roll 1 turn ends), else it doesn't end until it is meed <6

almost anything to flatten the bouncing a bit...

After serious deliberations Germany plays an offensive chit, the first of the war, on Guderian. Paris must fall, and now.

Italy and Japan also take land actions.

R2 Allies 13 Axis 3

The bombers clear, the fighters are shot down.
