No declarations of war.

Italy and Germany take a land impulse while Japan take a combined.

Italy and Germany make a joint port strike against the French fleet in Toulon. Only one surprise point awarded to France so the game went directly to the AA die rolls.

One of those games for the Chinese I guess. The Japanese bomber is cleared through - fair enough - but then the Japanese roll a 4..... a division is lost - no loss to the Japanese.

I heard that Greece have been invaded by the Axis. No doubt some sort of Flu strain that migrated south from Canada. Perhaps we should send a infection specialist to upstate New York and report from Greece? But first let us all pray for Greece and that the flu do not spread to neighbouring states.

Japan aligns Siam and Germany align Bulgaria. No reaction from US although one member of congress expressed concern over the fact that a Chinese city could switch allegiance like that. Sweden declare neutrality in the conflict that engulfs more of Europe by each passing day.

Italy take a naval impulse and the other two take a land impulse.

No Port Strikes.

Germany reinforce the East Mediterranean with a fighter.

Italy sail out with a mixed battleship and cruiser force to the East Med and they transport a German division. Italy also send a couple of cruisers with another German division to the Italian Sea.

No strategic bombing. No ground strikes.

Germany rail some units to Austria for rest and recuperation. One Corps is actually send to Italy for some rest on the Mediterranean coast.

A Bulgarian unit moves into Greece and overrun two convoy points that try to rebase to Gibraltar. One is sunk by the Italian Navy in the East Mediterranean but the other reach the safe haven of Gibraltar.

Germany invades Greece with two divisions.

When the German division capture Kalamai they sink one convoy point and capture another. The two cruisers get away but they are intercepted by Axis naval bombers and they are both destroyed.

It's starting to look like it really will take German forces marching down Pennsylvania Avenue to get the US in the war.

Seeing the way its gone I have been as careful as I can be with Allied aggression - I haven't even claimed Bessarabia - but if the US aren't interested then there's not much else I can do [:(]
