The battle of Brest was very expensive. Norway becomes now a big land and naval battle. 3 Allied armies landed in Oslo. 6 UK cruiser and battleships attack. Germany lost one army and a corps. The landed Hq damaged.

Axis declared war to Norway. All 4 remaining axis airfleets are now in the battle of Brest: the first UK carrier lost. Without airstrikes, Norway survived the first attack and is reinforced with new troops.

July 7, 1940: After a small period of cease fire the largest airbattle in history took place at Brest-Paris. 3 carriers and 2 UK airfleets against 5 german sirfleets. In the first turn Allies lost one airfleet. Germany lost 2 airfleets and an army. French landings in France, canadian forces move forward, attacking german air...

June 9, 1940: Allies abandon Bordeaux, Brest corps entrenching.

May 12, 1940: Evacuation successfully completed. France will fall next turn. Nothing left to defend it . Iron Ranger: The game is nearly perfectly balanced, but I played with Zapp very much games now and we both know each others tactics in every detail. If nobody makes a fault, it would be a draw without bid. But the game is more risky for Allies. One wrong move and they loose their airfleets or carriers and their possibility to win. Axis has not that much of risk, if they loose some airfleets, doesnt matter cause they have the mpp advantage. Allies have to do twice as much damage as they take, during invasion time or they have bad chances to win - at least with the strategies we both use now . There are no real strategical surprises any more between us, the other good possibility for Allies to win. So you can say: our high bid is the risk surcharge for Allies. If they dont make a mistake they should win with this bid... (I hope so at least ).

April 14, 1940: Evacuation procedure started. French armies and UK corps operate/march to ports. Mine and Maginot abondoned. A North-South corps line secures the retreat. All ships and airfleets left the french battle...
