Didn't post anything for few turns, as nothing happened at all.
Only noteable events were lab builds (1st general and 2nd air for Germany ; 1st inf for Italy); purchasing 4th panzer korps for Germany on turn 7 and recruiting Dietrich (1 0 4) at turn 10.
But now weather goes fair and turn going to be eventful.
Just look how flashy Case Yellow is now:
Initial Low Countries OOB was changed a bit , aswell as map in this area
Just in case you have trouble reading orange numbers from this picture (as do I) - strength of both dutch garrisons is 3, corps - 5. Belgians have full strength garrison in Liege, other two are 5 steps and infantry in Brusseles is 7.
I think now Low Countries scenario is slightly harder for Axis, as if you get bad rolls at Liege (and you can, as half of attacks are cross-river) you might stuck here. You will still most likely force surrender of Belgium, but it will take effort from armoured troops (who should be advancing into France) and tactical bombers (who respectively better should rebase closer to french defenses).
Here its not the case - used limited air and heavy unit support 2 TACs (Liege and Brusseles), SAC (belgian garrison in the field), 1 FTR (Liege again) and panzer to finish off 1 step Hague defenders. It was air units from forward air bases, so they didn't need rebasing. Ones from rear airfields were not used - they were succesfully rebased closer to the front instead.
I had an opportunity to attack Liege right now with 2 armour (or armour and mech), but decided not to do so, as it looks pointless. Why attack fresh unit, if it gets morale penalty next turn?
Kriegsmarine doing their own usual business, sinking cargo ships.
