The Kreigsmarine had a victory in the English Channel. The Royal Navy may not have realized the strength of our U-boat flotillas.
Forces are converging on Amsterdam. This is the last spot on the continent where the Allies hold.

More news from the Orient.
Japanese troops landed on Guadalcanal and another British held island to the East of Guadalcanal. We are determined to end British occupation of islands in the Pacific Ocean. The Americans have publicly promised the Philippines Independence and if they extend that to other areas we would be glad to turn over some of the former British occupied islands to them to administer. The British have treated the indigenous people on Australia and New Zealand with cruelty and disrespect taking their more valued lands away from them.
Chinese troops captured two more cities on the Indian subcontinent and turned them over to Japanese Troops. We were going to turn over some more land in Manchuko to China but events proved too much for us this month (i.e., I forgot).
The Indian Army continues to grow slowly for now but that will speed up as more cities enter our control.

OKW
The last of the British positions was destroyed. Amsterdam was taken with relatively low losses. The British were stubborn, and the troops paid the price.

RE: GD1938 Game 24
China has captured more cities in India. We have almost driven the imperialist oppressors off the Indian Subcontinent. Meanwhile British submarines are a headache but one that will be resolved.
All Chinese cities have been returned to China. The only troops remaining on Chinese soil are there with the indulgence of the Chinese people. Taipei is guarded by Japanese troops until China can garrison it. The 3rd Army HQ remains in Tientsin because I removed all the 3rd Armies units and ran out of sealift capacity.

Germany has initiated hostilities against Poland. Because so many of our troops were near Amsterdam we had limited incursions. We did take back the German city of Danzig.
Next month we will have significantly more resources to attack Poland.
Germany is moving forces to open a new theater of operations against the British.

We have almost driven the British off the Indian subcontinent. Only one city on the continent itself and Coloumba (spelling) city on an island off India. After that only a few ports in Australia, New Zealand and a few islands remain in the Pacific for the British imperialist. This makes it difficult for the British/French Navies to operate in the Pacific or Indian Oceans.
The Indian Army will see some major increases in the coming months as Chinese troops are withdrawn from India.

RE: GD1938 Game 24
After a disastrous string of defeats, the British Forces achieved a big victory, the first one in the war. The French city of Le havre was poorly defended, despite this, it was a base for a huge U-Boat force. British infantry, supported by virtually every RAF plane able to take off, stormed the city, destroying no less than 70 U-Boats. While we don´t expect to hold the city, this unexpected event made the Atlantic a much less dangerous place for convoys...for now. In India, the last British forces are succesfully evacuated by sea, we will be back soon. Meanwhile, the newly built submarine forcesareharassing Japanese supply lines. SUbmarine losses are heavy, but one Japanese heavy cruiser was sunk.
RE: GD1938 Game 24
Well, thats no good.
Le Havre was well enough defended before the U-boats arrived. It certainly was not well enough defended after they arrived!
Congratulations ... but more U-boats are coming, as I'm sure you know.

RE: GD1938 Game 24
Sure, it´s far from a decisive victory, but the British people really needs a morale boost.....

Le Havre was retaken, but OKW is well aware that the British amphibious lift is still there and we must be on our guard lest this re-occur.
In Poland German and Soviet troops push toward the Polish cities. Poznan is on the front line now.
Italy has been a non-beligerent partner to the Reich, and an ally to the USSR.The British and French must resent the role Mussolini is playing, but they have not declared war either.

Japanese and Chinese troops have completed the removal of British forces from the mainland of SE Asia and India. Japanese 4th Army troops take two more British ports in the Pacific. More British submarines find their way to the bottom of the ocean. Colombo is bombarded by a Japanese fleet in preparation for landings on the island.
A planned air raid against a British airfield in Australia was cancelled when it was found that there was nothing there to attack.

The USSR has liberated the cities of Bialystock and Beirut from the Imperialist French. The people cheered as our Tanks rolled into the former French occupied lands, where we were asked in by the majority of freedom loving citizens, who favored joining Mother Russia. Beirut was liberated by the fierce Turkish infantry, aided by Soviet Air and Armor units. The world is now closer to peace than its been since hostilities broke out in Europe and Asia.

RE: GD1938 Game 24
Japanese forces in India have found some cut off British units...debating whether to starve them out or be kind and kill them (or capture them). Another British island in the Pacific falls to units of the 4th Army. Two fleets reduce the enemy in Colombo in preparation of attack. More British subs are sent to the bottom of the Pacific. The Indian Army continues to grow as the Indian people volunteer.
RE: GD1938 Game 24
Our Soviet ally Turkey has given the newly liberated Syrian people the protection of their armed forces while they put together a new government not dominated by foreigners as was the case under French colonial rule. The city of Lvov has also been liberated from the same Freench interference. We welcome those countries that have been willing to negotiate mutual peace treaties, that show how our civilized nations can work together for the good of the people.

Warsaw and Krakow both fell.
Poland has few defenders. The Luftwaffe and RAF clashed.

RE: GD1938 Game 24
The cut off British forces in India have been captured. Two more British subs are gone to the bottom of the ocean. Colombo bombarded again--only a single coastal gun emplacement remains from the original forces. But one of the fleets will have to leave soon for ammo and fuel. The invasion of Colombo will be delayed as my troopships are busy elsewhere. The Indian Army almost doubled in size this month. Two British subs are using the Philippines as a hiding area so attacking them will be difficult without accidentally involving the Americans. But we will be extremely careful not to attack American forces or territory accidentally.

Poland is finished. Germany has declared war on the Czechs.
The Luftwaffe struck to the north of London.

RE: GD1938 Game 24
The British subs in the Pacific are doing a good job of hiding. But I will sink them, they are far from home and will eventually need to get supplies. Tahiti has fallen, our soldiers are enjoying the beach and weather. The Carriers that escorted the invasion force left their planes at Tahiti and now are headed to pick up replacement planes. The first phase of building up the Indian Army is now complete. The British have kept 3 subs near our fleets bombarding Colombo, not sure why since they cannot do any harm to the two fleets. Currently I am building up my air force, specializing in search and ship attacking planes.
