The strategic earthquake was the rapid fall of France to the blitzkrieg in 1940. Will there be a similar strategic  earthquake this Turn? Read on... The first big Summer of the war and a long Turn is likely after the prematurely short Turn of March/ April. The Germans have u-boats, stukas and pamzers. The UK/ Commonwealth (CW) has 4 engined heavy bombers to bomb the hell out of the Axis. The first of them rolls out of the factores- the Stirling. There's also a long range flying boat Sunderland which will be sent to Canada to patrol the North Atlantic. The pilots of the Whitley medium bomber switch to a Wellington which has ground attack and slightly longer range. The Germans meanwhile are producing two u-boats to continue the u-boat offensive. Guderian Panzer HQ and armoured and mechanised corps were placed in central Germany to go either west to France or east if Stalin attacks Germany's back door. Italy produces a Parachute division and 10 offensive points.  The weather is F...

 Starting with the mistakes quite a few were noticed. Germany should have a free SS unit arrving in November/ December turn for occuppying Vienna and one in 2 turns for capturing Amsterdam. The Austrian SS unit was placed in Amsterdam with the rationale that it would have been moved there as a garrisoning unit. Italy not being able to have an AMPHIBious landing ship within the time I thought i allowed to move this ship back to the force pool and allow the Italians to put towards offensive points. CW (CommonWealth) should have put 4 CLs from its construction pool in the first turn as they are free to build from there and so have been placed to arrive in next 3 turns as they would have been if chosen straight away. Also their Indian units a the start could have been placed anywhere in Asia so the Garrison corps is going to Singapore and the Garrison division to Ceylon and infantry corps is going to Aden. The CW also acquired a Dutch transport ship which from last turn should have bee...

 I made several mistakes last turn including - Germany can't lend build points to Italy whilst its neutral Nobody can rush build a unit's completion by more than one turn in a turn so Italy decides not to rush build the amphibious lander and instead start building a paratrooper division (to build into a paratrooper corps later with a motorised division).  Denmark couldn't field its reserve corps until the Allied impulse so Germany just marches into Denmark unopposed Soviets can't build Militia units as they are not at war yet so will a regular Infantry army instead I forgot to Occupy Greenland and Iceland by the US so will count that as having been done The Soviets need to get quadruple the number of units on the the border with Germany to break the Nazi Soviet pact in 1940 - I'm going to ignore that and just use the double threshold.   After all that Germany declared war on the Netherlands and used a combined impulse to pull their navy out of the North Sea to prepa...

 The Axis won initiative. Snow weather was rolled for Europe but Fine for South China. The Italian bombers moved to Rhodes closer to potential targets in the East Mediterranean. The Germans toyed with the idea of a naval move and moving their navy into the North Sea to sweep the mines that will deny them the Swedish resources but were intimidated by the size of the Home Fleet and will wait for worse weather. Instead they used a land move and  declared on Denmark who were surprised that an aggressive militaristic regime acted aggressively. Fast moving infantry units to overrun Danish ports whilst artillery and a mountain corps (that avoids the penality for attacking in the snow) took Copenhagen. A navy vessel and some convoys and tankers escaped to Newcastle. The Japanese took advantage of the good weather to destroy a Chinese nationalist unit.  The   United States was disturbed by this naked aggresion and an entry chit added to The Germany/ Italy Entry pool. I f...
