14 Jan 1939: Only the Jagdpanzer III's are missing. 15 Jan 1939: It's amazing that it survived the Polish conflict. The Italian and French Diplomacy registers. The Italians are friendlier but unappetizing. Not much of a conflict so far.  Before I enter I want a Treaty with Bulgaria first. 21 Jan 1939: I say 'No'.... ....but I do remind the Dutch again. 22 Jan 1939: Also 'No'. 30 Jan 1939: The Trait can wait. 02 Feb 1939: Instead I start Justifying a War against Italy and it only takes 65 days, so in early April.
