Great update. It is going to be interesting to see how Indochina develops.

Good thing you went on the offesive in Asia. Don't want to know what would've happened if the Japs had caught you off-guard. (India lost, maybe.)

Are you going to reinforce the Netherlands against a possible german attack?

Hmm... I hadn't thought about it, but now I wonder if it might be possible to launch another attack of my own through Dutch territory? I could possibly disengage one of the two armies in Italy and redeploy them to the Netherlands for another small offensive. I'll check it out.

Having a two front war might keep the Axis navies from being able to concentrate all of their efforts on your convoys trying to re-supply Italy ??

You need a clear objective though. The only ones I can think of is capturing the naval base at Wilhelmshaven or clearing the french channel coast of Wehrmacht units (and then holding out for reinforcements).

Getting involved in the Netherlands would mean that you are fighting on three separate fronts. You might end up overstretching yourself.

Good points all around, thank you. I will probably not be reinforcing Dutch defences. Realistically, the loss of the Netherlands might give the Germans a few more channel ports, but it is not going to impact my overall strategic position in Europe enough that it's worth trying down a corps or two of my own. I need all of the extra divisions I can spare for Indochina right now.

I was thinking you might use the Netherlands to link up with your Italian Forces and isolate France.

I keep forgetting about this. Then I read 2-3 updates at a time and want to know what is happening next... then it feels like forever until I find out and in the meantime it slips my mind again. Been very entertaining so far though.

Wouldn't that be a bit much for just two armies?
