And on the very first turn we get to answer a question of the what-ifs... that is what if Germany had invaded Poland in 1938, before Czechoslovakia...

Message from the "Pravda" newspaper:
Comrade Stalin, when meeting with the workers of the 72nd Ball Bearing Factory in Moscow, made the following statement about the current international situation: "The capitalist vampires are again at each other's throat. French warmongers and their Polish servants have provoked a war with Germany. It is our duty to free the workers of Western-Ukraine and Western-Belarus from under White-Polish opression which has been lasting already 18 years. Our glorious Workers-Peasants Red Army has recieved the orders to start the liberation of these lands."

RE: GD 1938 v 2, testgame
While the game may be stalled, at the moment, that leaves open some room for diplomatic manouvering. In an announcement that is sure to shock the world, Germany and the Soviet Union have come to terms, on a non-agression pact.... don´t believe me... here is the proof:

Washington, 6:00 AM, 15/January/1938
Pres. Roosevelt: I hope you have a good excuse to wake me up....
Sec. Hull: The situation is serious, Mr.President, the world seems to be turning crazy
Pres. Rooselvelt: Are you talking about the German agression on Poland?
Sec Hull: No, it´s now even worse, the Soviet Union seems to have signed an alliance with Germany (they call it "no agression pact") and declared war on both Poland and France.
Pres. Roosevelt: Communists and Fascists fighting in the same side? This is unexpected. This alliance won´t last for many time, I hope. And it seems our intelligence is wrong again, the last report said it was unlikely that Germany would attempt any act of agression against Poland, since they were giving strong emphasis to a covert campaign of subversion against Austria.
Sec Hull: It´s true, we were caught by surprise, but the French and the Bristish also had no clues on what was happening.
Pres. Roosevelt: Have you contacted Raynaud?
Sec Hull: We´re trying to do so, up to now we have no informations on what the French are doing, their army is strong enough to fight the Germans, but their air force is completely outclassed. And our Embassador in London is meeting with Mr. Chamberlain
Pres. Roosevelt: We could try to send some stuff to them, but the Congress would never aprove this...
Sec Hull: Maybe we could spend some pp to change our Congressmen´s minds....[:D]
Pres. Roosevelt: Maybe....btw what are the news on our Chinese friends?
Sec. Hull: The Japanese seems to have started another offensive against China, the Chinese Army suffered some losses but also the Japanese.
Pres. Roosevelt: We could put an embargo on oil sales to Japan...
Sec. Hull: This feature unfortunately wasn´t implemented in this scenario.
Pres. Roosevelt: What do you suggest then?
Sec. Hull: We must start the production of war equipment, it will help us to recover from the Depression, and it won´t take too many months until the American public realizes the western civilization is in mortal danger.

Germany, Febuary 7th 1938,
Hitler: "So what is the status of Fall Weiss?"
von Brauchitsch: "We took the Poles by complete surprise, and we are doing above expectations on all fronts"
Hitler: "Gut Gut, and what about Goering, how is he doing with the Luftwaffe?"
von Brauchitsch: "Better than during the first days of the conflict. Losses are now equal to that of the Poles, Although it is worrisome that we have lost as many BF-109Cs as they have lost Fighter Is".
Hitler: "That fool should have listened and commited the Airforce in force, instead of trying to be a hero and taking out the Polish airforce in the air!"
von Brauchitsch: "Yes..."
Hitler: "What news of Krakow and Warsaw? Have they been taken yet?"
von Brauchitsch: "Krakow fell to our forces a few hours ago, I didn´t want to wake you... As for Warsaw, we will have it soon. Poznan fell too."
Hitler: "Ach, it is going faster than we expected. Now that the Polish main supply center is under our control, then the rest of Poland should fall fast. What about Great Britain?"
von Brauchitsch: "Our submarines have slipped past their defenses, and we then declared war, everything is going to plan."
Hitler "Yes, for now!"

The Soviet Government rebukes the interpretations which spread in some capitalist newspapers that the Soviet-German Pact of Non-Aggression is actually a treaty of alliance.

Washington 1:00 PM 15th Feb 1938
Pres. Roosevelt: I hope you come with better news today.
Sec. Hull: To some extent, waht news do you want to hear first, the bad ones or the good ones?
Pres Roosevelt: Let us start with the bad ones (sigh)
Sec. Hull: We have been unable to have any meaningful contact with French and British diplomats. We don´t know nothing about their plans, force disposition and actions. The only sources we have come from German and Soviet press. The French diplomacy in particular is in such state of confusion that they declared war on Italy by mistake!
Pres. Roosevelt: I hope it won´t bring them a new enemy, on the other hand I´m not sure if having Italy against them is bad....Did you see their last "technological achievement"? A biplane fighter! I´m sure our P-35´s can make mincemeat of their CR-42´s
Sec. Hull: The performance of the German Bf-109C´s isn´t impressive either, they achieved 1:1 kill rate against the obsolete Polish fighters.
Pres. Roosevelt: What about German tanks? Our intel informed us that these pathetic vehicles armed with 20mm guns cound´t achieve nothing against a modern army.
Sec. Hull: We have no reports of tank battles. Both sides are heavily censoring the news. We know, however, that Lvov fell to USSR and Warsaw is surrounded. We expect Poland to fall in the next seven days.
Pres. Roosevelt: Less than two months.....well, we must try to contact our allies again. BTW, what about the good news?
Sec. Hull: The Chinese have good news. Hangchow was surrounded, but the Japanese assault failed with heavy losses, including tens of armoured vehicles. Also some enemy aicraft, including a few of their news Ki-27. According to our intel, this fighter is almost good as our P-35. They also captured a fast bomber. The army calls them Ki-30. It´s said they can outrun almost every Chinese fighter.
Pres. Roosevelt: Is Hangchow still surrounded?
Sec. Hull: The Chinese launched a counterattack and were able to open the communications line to the city again. Reinforcements and supply are pouring into the city, and at least two Japanese divisions were cut from their supply lines.

The Red Army entered Vilnius! The liberation of Ukrainian and Belarussian people is almost complete.
When seeing the victorious advance of the Red Army also the working class of Estonia and Latvia have started revolution in order to topple the bourgeois cliques in these countries. The representatives of revolutionaries have asked the Soviet government for help. The Soviet governement has ordered the Red Army to fulfil its international duty.
