It seems the axis are making a move for France. We must destroy the Lithuanian defense as soon as possible. An intense bombing raid of 70 bombers attacks cities all across the Lithuanian border, fracturing their defences. As they have little to no air support we send out 25 fighters as a precautionary aid. 
Results: 160 enemies killed; 2 bombers lost In addition to the Soviet attack, Poland sends 5 divisions to Marijampole, 5 divisions to Alyius, and 5 divisions to Trakai (all arriving within 1 turn). We aim to arrive near Klaipeda, Kaunas, and Vilnius soon. Lithuania has about 70 000 soldiers left so they leave most of their forces to defend Kaunas and Vilnius, leaving almost no troops for Klaipeda. 
Kaunas division: Battle of Druskinakai 
Unfortunately, the Lithuanians put a fierce defense and manage to inflict massive casualties on our army despite being outnumbered 5 to 1. Fortunately, another Lithuanian division has been destroyed. They only have 60k troops left. Net Kills: 11516 Net Deaths: 6613 Our recruitments are immediately sent to reinforce the Kaunas front. |

After the resounding victory over the French forces, the Italian army enters Tirana unopposed. A force of 5 cruisers, 15 destroyers, 20 torpedo boats, supported by 15 submarines sail from La Spezia towards Corsica, with the intent of bombarding French defensive positions (do we have rules about naval bombardment?). Meanwhile, another 15 submarines are ordered to patrol off the south coast of France and harass French shipping. Also, 200 fighters based in Genoa, 100 based in Palermo and 100 in Cagliari begin patrolling the waters north and south of Corsica to hinder reinforcement by aircraft. For the record, my remaining 300 fighters and 200 bombers are stationed around Milan. 100 bombers and 100 fighters from Brindisi will transfer to Tripoli (will be in place by next page). The Italian air force being preoccupied 100 French bombers previously sent to Albania launch heavy bombings on Tirana. They are protected by 200 fighters. Meanwhile the remaining 400 fighters and transports begin the evacuation of French forces. On the first flight, 20,000 will be flown to Damascus. Also, assuming we've adopted recruiting, 400,000 soldiers and 1000 tanks, with the escort of the whole navy, 100 bombers and 200 fighters are shipped to Algiers. Also, 500 tanks and 200,000 soldiers are moved to Annecy from Dijon and Bourges. I still have 200 fighters and 100 bombers in Brindisi supporting the occupation force, Tirana isn't undefended - do you want to reconsider, or do we have an air combat? I want to attack as you're retreating, but I think it's fair if you want to claim that I'll be tied down establishing control of the government, processing Albanian prisoners, and so forth, and you have time to get away. |

I suppose my bombers have time to drop a small part of their payload before your fighters arrive after which the bombers will head away. |

You have about that many along the entire border, but if you move them all to attack then I surely have time to reinforce as well. A surprise bombing raid of Tirana is fair, my planes are a bit far. Do you mind calculating damage? In response to the raid I'll transfer 100 fighters to Tirana to be prepared against future attacks. |

Theron of Acragas , following the bombing of the area by 100 bombers and 200 fighters, 300,000 soldiers and 700 tanks attack the 100,000 Italians defending the northern part of our border. 7 - 3 (numbers) + 2 (mountains) = 7 to win Medium risk attack jGmJXZrY Hm, I have big questions here, because based on your map you don't have 300,000 men there?

Do you mind calculating damage? In response to the raid I'll transfer 100 fighters to Tirana to be prepared against future attacks. I moved 200,000 to Annecy (in the post quoted above), which is 50 km from the border, so I thought it would be realistic for them to get in time before your other armies, but if you disagree we can reroll with new armies. It really comes down here to with what accuracy should armies' locations be told. As for the Tirana raid, I wouldn't imagine the losses for you to be of any significance maybe 20 to 40 - can't give an objective value yet though. Edit: I know I really didn't state the Annecy move in the clearest way possible. |

Theron of Acragas, I really thought you're army was farther away, but now that I look at it, the second northernmost army should have certainly got there had they known of the movement in Annecy and if not that atleast ready to counterattack immediately. We can change the armies to 100,000 each or 300,000 vs 200,000 and reroll or keep the same roll if you want to.

But still it is a pretty short border and I'd get some reinforcements in time. 300,000 VS 200,000 seems fair. |

100,000 from the Maginot line and 100,000 from Paris are moved to Annecy along with 500 tanks from Nancy and the surrounding regions.
(Because I'm bored and want some battle, but don't any enemies except Italy and Lithuania.) Because the Military dictatorship of António Salazar is shamelessly assisting Franco, the troops that were supposed to go to Algiers, suddenly land on the southwestern tip of Portugal. Since the landing is a total surprise, for France hasn't sent any ultimatum to Portugal, it is faced with minimal opposition (if someone disagrees, tell me), but the Portuguese forces prepare to defend at São Marcos de Serra.
A medium threat attack with similar forces, 8 to win.

Also Theron of Acragas, about the situation in Albania, you really can attack if you want and I'd say that even if the first 20,000 are able to evacuate, the 10,000 remaining won't if you decide to attack. |

Now according to Darth Nihilus 's rule I make my second attack. I think 1000 tanks is enough to give me a -1 for manpower. Also, if someone feels like I'm doing stuff too fast, let me know. Medium risk [dice throw] I think the speed of your attacks is fine as long as it's against neutral countries. When we inevitably get to pvp we might have to wait a bit longer between attacks. |
