Don't Mention The War - Part 2

Mother nature put an end to the war in November/December 1939 when she blanketed the world in snow, with Blizzard being rolled three impulses in a row.

The forecast for January/February is for the weather to significantly deteriorate.

The Commonwealth sneaks out and blatantly mines the peaceful Norwegian coast.

Norway contemplates joining the Axis,

but only if Germany takes London or Moscow first.

Very wise of them

Not to be out down in bastardry, the Soviets occupy the Baltic states.

US public opinion is outraged.  They start to arm the Chinese as a counter to communist expansion.  The Japanese quietly close the Burma Road in order to avert war between China and the USSR.

And what was Germany doing, apart from shovelling snow and writing letters to Congress?

Production

In Sept/Oct Germany commissioned Guderian (armoured HQ), the Bremen Boy Scouts (the worst pick, a 2-2 Militia unit), some desperately needed Stukas and their pilots, repaired the Dutch submarines and dragged out some old subs (a surprise zero cost build).  Not much for 15 Build Points.

In Nov/Dec the loss of Swedish resources was made good by Norwegian resources and expending some oil that hadn't been used in the almost non-existent turn.  This time adding in the Lodz factory raised the Build Points to 16.  Attendees at the Leipzig Toy Fair were recruited to form another Militia unit (a better than nothing 4-3), a much more powerful armoured corps commenced assembly using Czech components, JU-88s were added to the production line as well as essential pilots and another sub was put on the slipway.  A Mountain Corps also commenced training, especially in blizzard warfare tactics: Schneesturmkrieg.

Production summarized in the highly efficient tabula form known as übertreffen.

Note: Build Points lost are those traded to the USSR for resources and oil.
