The Japanese move south to the Chinese capital.
No air rebase.
HQ Terauchi reorganises Osaka militia and the 2nd inf.

Jul/Aug 1940
Impulse: 8 (Axis)

Land combat:
Germany

Two attacks are announced; against Vichy and against the Infantry Corps to the northwest. Both sides are all but spent and there are no aircraft or HQ to alter the odds.

The Germans attack Vichy first as its a +21 attack. After rolling a 5 and a 6, the Germans now roll a 2.... Fortunately the fractionals worked (519 thrown) making the odds +25.

The remaining attack is now +21 as the French are OOS. The fractionals succeed (411 thrown) and the land roll is a 10. If I continue to roll like this in the USSR then I'm screwed.

Rebase
Germany

The Germans rebase four fighters to Paris, Metz, Hanover and south of Nuremburg

Sep/Oct 1940
Impulse: 1 (Axis)

Land Movement:
Germany

German forces move on Brussels

Italy

Italians continue the long trek home

Land Combat:
Germany

There is one attack announced, against Brussels. Odds are 75.5:9 (+16.889). Two German bombers are brought in with 5 factors. A 6 and a 4 strength fighter could be used for counter-interception.

The CW has a couple of tasty looking Beaufighters and a couple of bombers that could enter the fray. What do the CW want to do?
