Don't Mention The War - Part 4

May June 1940 saw the British abandon their French friends in Belgium, who were then driven back from their nefarious incursion as Germany moved to secure the Belgium border, much to their new host's relief.  (There were three combats, one per impulse.  Only the first was contested; it was a +13.5 and I rolled a 15.1 for a final 29.  The other two were mopping up operations against militia manning pesky delaying roadblocks, and all TOTT without needing to roll.) 

"Hello Hans, got new motor?"

With the trees still showing the signs of the atrocious winter,

German troops take their new car for a spin in Antwerp.

The Luftwaffe is slowly gaining air superiority, but it has been a tough fit.  The British are still continuing their ineffective terror bombing of peaceful German cities.

If you think this is bad,

you should see the other fellow.

Denmark, having seen what happened to Norway and the mining of its coast, welcomed German troops into its country.  They arrived just in time to stop a planned British invasion. The US government fully supported this move by Germany.

The Danish Army, all three of them,

welcoming the German protection

from British interference.

The rallying cry is "Remember Copenhagen 1807"

Hostilities were then abruptly halted at the end of June as Britain appeared to accept Germany's offer of a peace treaty (with just a 10% chance of the turn ending, Britain threw a one stopping things dead in their (tank) tracks).

Peace for a time

Elsewhere Persia was overrun by the Soviets and the Chinese continued to give the Japanese a very hard time.

Production

A tad hard to read I know (clicking on the image should enlarge it), but the German build is slowly growing.  The loss of the Swedish resources was made up by using oil and the short turns meant the demand for oil was not so intense.  The focus has been on building the expensive armoured units which also have a long lead time, while keeping up a trickle of air, naval and infantry forces.
