World in Flames - Empires in Flames

Germany attacks Poland and grinds the few defenders to dust without any german losses. By the start of november the last pole has surrendered. After Russia takes their agreed parts in the east Poland is but a distant memory. The turn goes on and Germany manages to move much of her army to the dutch border. The people of Benelux shivers.

Meanwhile, Commonwealth is busy strengthening Gibraltar and Egypt with airforce and land troops and also sneaks in some time to bomb the german fleet in the ports east of Kiel. The last pole also help in this by destroying some of the now disorganised german ships in Konigsberg.

Russia annex Bessarabia, Hungary and Bulgaria then takes some pieces of Rumania and Russia annex the Baltic statets.

Italy flies around looking for god knows what and prepares for the transport of the troops in Ethiopia back to home.

Japan moves a large task force with some CV:s and heavy bombardment ships to the South Chinese Sea. The japanese marine corps gets moved to Hainan and lots of heavy material is moved from the japanese isles to Shanghai. The emperor also orders bombing raids against Mao, mostly to make a statement.

The chinese nationalists, appearently worried by the japanes build up retreats most of their southern front. Some supply problems due to the heavy rains messes this retreat up and heavy losses are received due to japanese bombardment against the shores north of Hainan, resulting in japanese the japanese marines being able to land on the mainland unthreatened as the chinese troops still left are killed to the last man.

Further north, japanese troops conquer Chengchow, but apart from this nothing more happens as the troops all aound sits idle waiting for supplies.

The US move some barges around in the pacific, gets upset by the terror imposed by japanese troops against civilians in Chengchow and demands, against the protest from Japan, an opening of the Burma road, with first shipment being a bag of aircraft blueprints for the chinese to use.
