But my mum was a babe in arms when the Luftwaffe blitzed Pompey in January 1941 and though she had no memory of the event suffered nightmares her whole life as a consequence and was diagnosed as war traumatised as a teen in the late 40s in an age when that was not fashionable.

There are various adjustments along the Belgian border.

The Italians transfer an Inf Div from Libya to Genoa.

In Haichow the communist partisans put up a fight against Yamamoto. The standard Japanese attack roll of 3 is just about enough.

The Germans send out subs to the Faroes but the search for CW shipping fails (Axis 3 Allies 10). Troops are transported on the Baltic Sea.

Changsha is old news but Hengyang antagonises US public opinion, +1 chit.

This time the Japanese get a good roll, both Chinese units are destroyed.

Weather improves a bit. Will the Germans attack Belgium soon?

All took combineds.

The Japanese used their combined move to transport a new mech div and inf to Haichow, and the inf that was in Haichow down to Canton.

The faster German ships came out to the stormy North Sea. Searches failed.

There is palpable tension along the western frontier of the Reich.

In South China Umezu's Army Group crosses the Hsiang River.

He didn't get it based on success (or in this case, otherwise) of the mission, but on the act of valour in the face of the enemy.

So HMS Delhi's Captain Alfred Russell is fully deserving of his Victoria Cross for ordering the ramming (and sinking) of one of the two Ugly Sisters at the Battle of Skaggerak 28th March 1940


Poor B******s. The RN often achieved what it did inspite of its equipment - rather than because of it.....

We are sad about the Scharnhorst. Mourning cards are appearing in the windows of the houses in northern port cities.

My fault perhaps for not withdrawing after she was damaged in the first combat round.

Some quiet Japanese naval moves: a CV returns to some day pick up new planes, a Formosa militia takes to sea, another cp in the China Sea.
