Turn 4: Oct 31, 39
Weather in France is clear for a 4th turn in a row. This unexpected good luck will be put to good use by OKH. Every effort must be made this turn to achieve maximum penetration into France before mud and snow arrive.
The spy wolfpack off the coast of Canada sees a convoy sail by headed northeast. Orders are given to engage the convoy. Other wolfpacks are ordered to move south along the coast of Ireland and west toward the convoy. Every effort must be made to intercept what is presumably the Canadian FTR headed for Britain.
The Polish capitol must fall this turn. Wermacht formations have taken heavy losses but the Poles are also exhausted.
Some allied counterattacks near Lille target panzer spreadheads. Every effort must be made to protect the panzers from heavy attacks or attrition. If losses from the counterattacks are heavy they will stop for replacement or be pulled back for a full refit.
Here's the situation at start of the turn:
The wolfpack trailling the convoy launches an attack, but unfortunately will be subject to depth charge attack by the French destroyers.
In Poland the weary and battered Wermacht finally take the city center and the Polish government collapses.
In Belgium, a damaged PZ is diverted north to take Antwerp from a weak French corp. Surprisingly elements of the BEF have landed on the coast west of Antwerp - a position that seems untenable. They can be safely isolated and bypassed.
Light air strikes are launched on Lille and the city is assaulted but the assaults are complete failures, causing few French casualties and heavy German casualties.
The French armor corp is subjected to attacks by all avaialble Stukas, and takes some losses. This is followed up by an assault from an INF that forces a retreat and takes the forested area south of Lille.
