CW readjusts convoy defense lines and again sends a fleet to the W Med. Fails to find Italian convoy in E Med.
France strengthens their lines on the Belgian border and moves one Inf southwards toward the Italian front.

Mar/Apr 40 Axis impulse 2 ( impulse 8 ) Fine everywhere
Germany DoW Belgium, USA is concerned and gets a chit.
All take land actions.
Belgum setup is problematic since the German para is in range. Leaving Brussels empty makes the para drop there with assist from adjacent hexes in the attack.
Other positions are equally vulnerable to an overwhelming German strength.

Several attacks this impulse.
Shown is the Kweilin attack at a risky odds but an important supply point in the mountains, Rolled as net 19 so the Japanese Engr and a Mil were lost and 2 more units disorganized but the city was taken.

The next attack in China near TING SHUI IS AT A BASE +10 and a fraction, rolled a net 22. Japan lost 1 unit and suffered two more disorganized but the hex was taken causing supply problems for the Communists in the area.

RE: A global wat - 2
The Germans did not have enough attack strength to attack both Brussels and Antwerp at the same time and they chose the Capital Brussels.
This is already the 8th impulse and the turn might end before the next German impulse. If so and Antwerp had been chosen instead of Brussels the country would not have been conquered this turn.
It does leave the CW an opportunity to send the BEF into Antwerp and west along the coast of Belgium. I think that the German could ignore that pocket and go for the French border. Eventually the CW, not having that many units yet, would have to either evacuate or slide westwards into France anyway.
This raises the question of what will I have the CW do next and unfortunately in a solitaire game that does not include the fog of the other players intentions.
As yet I have not decided on what to have them do.

Mar/Apr 40 Allies impulse 3 ( impulse 9 ) rain in temperate
China, France land rest combined action
CW sends the BEF to N Sea, German NAV intercept failed.
Allied conferences resulted in a decision to land the BEF in Belgium andsenda CW fighter there as well.
In the rain the French could only bet a poor +4 attack on the German Para in SW Belgium and decided it was not worth the risk of losing French units.
The French also choose to not enter Belgium and instead defend on their own border which should also result in higher production next turn.

RE: A global wat - 2
The air/air fights caused a few Fighters to be aborted but all bombers got through. The strike results were about half successful.
The attacks in China worked fine but in France one was successful and the other just caused all to be disorganized with no moves.
HQ Rundstedt reorganized the unsuccesful attack units.
