Allies - The USA Enters the War - 15 Nov to 21 Dec 1939

Image
15 Nov 1939: The USA didn't waste any time. I'm nowhere near ready at the moment so I'll have to pass for a while. 16 Nov 1939: At least I can get almost 180K troops for Garrison duties. Italy and France have Military Access to the US while the US has Military Access to Italy 19 Nov 1939: The 3rd Armoured Division is fully-trained and assigned to the Royal Armoured Corps. I transfer the Gibraltar Defence Force to Army Gibraltar I deploy the new 32nd RAF Squadron to Gibraltar and commence Pilot Exercises. I upgrade the Gibraltar Defence Force to Division strength. 02 Dec 1939: I receive another Dockyard and assign it to 1936 Submarine production. Polish forces are advancing into the Soviet and have captured Minsk in the north. 06 Dec 1939: The Focus Bomber Command has been completed.... ....and I choose Fortify the Rock next. I believe that's the appropriate next Focus. 06 Dec 1939: Four Infantry Divisions have finished training and I first assign them to 1st Army....

Allies - The United States joins the United Kingdom - 07 Nov to 14 Nov 1939

07 Nov 1939: I ship 3 New Zealand divisions from Army ANZAC in Egypt to Gibraltar. So, the USA is sending Lend Lease to the Carlists. They are helping Greece and the State of Japan too. France is no longer guaranteeing Yugoslavia's independence so I'll step in there. Maybe they'll join the Allies and not Comintern. Hitler's two wars I've increased the production of Infantry Equipment and Motorized. My Armour and Aircraft production. If I send Lend Lease to the Carlists the USA may have a better opinion of me. 09 Nov 1939: Use it against the Fascists in the south. 11 Nov 1939: There's a lot of fighting on all fronts - and I have a new Dockyard.... ....and I use it on my 1940 Heavy Cruiser. Now that really is gratitude! They've joined the Comintern. Their Lend Lease from me is cancelled because I'm not supporting the Communists. I'll give it to Greece instead. I increase the Fort level at Gibraltar by two. I assign a trained Submarine to 2nd Submarine

Allies - World War Two out of the Blue - 18 Oct to 07 Nov 1939

18 Oct 1939: I was not expecting that. It came out of nowhere! Then Luxembourg joins Comintern! 21 Oct 1939: One problem less in the world. 22 Oct 1939: Now France gets involved. Let's see if they can do better than in real life. 23 Oct 1939: Well that is a good move. Congrats! You've turned yourself into an enemy of the Free World and that includes the British Empire and (hopefully) the good old US of A. Forget Lend Lease - I need it for true Democratic nations. I need to increase my production of Infantry Equipment. 25 Oct 1939: France couldn't rush a couple of divisions across the border? 27 Oct 1939: Sitzkrieg2.0! 04 Nov 1939: Research has been completed on the Bristol Blenheim . Next we start work on the Supermarine Spitfire . The Royal Air Force is still here. My current list of Research projects. Nothing arriving for a while. 05 Nov 1939: At least all is quiet in the Balkans. I have a 117 days deficit of Infantry Equipment.... ....and 381 days for Motorized. A bit bl
