World in Flames - 4

The quiet before the storm.

Or rather the clear weather bringing disaster which was certainly the case in China.

The first Japanese attack was a nil all draw.
The Chinese breathed a sigh of relief.
It was short lived.
A devastating groundtrike (a double 1 flipping two units)
caused the collapse of the southern front,
including the loss of the Chinese air force.

The Soviets have left Iran alone for the moment 
and started to build up the garrison on their new border with Germany.  
It is a slow process and I expect there comes a tipping point at some stage.  
I need to give the balance some careful thought.

So ends 1939.  As can be seen in that last image France is in imminent state of collapse.  All the more reason for the Soviets to get on garrisoning the border.

The Chinese losses have at least allowed them to build three infantry units.  The Soviets are also building three infantry along with one pilot.
