War Report
Sept/Oct 1939: The conflagration begins. The Poles mostly huddle around Warsaw and Lodz, but that does not stop the Wehrmacht from successfully assaulting Warsaw first impulse.

Impulse #2: The Allies declare war on Germany and shockingly the US approves (no entry penalty). The CW takes a naval and immediately shifts most of their naval forces to… the Med? No BEF on boats to France, instead troops head for warmer weather. The French pull in the Moroccans to defend France. China holds the line. The USSR has a heavy deployment on the Rumanian border.

War News
Commonwealth Declines French Call for Aid! Dateline London. 1 Sept 1939. The London Times.

French military commanders cited the need to redeploy forces to “cover the gaps left by the perfidious Brits. We were hoping the Germans would not notice until we could call up reinforcements.”
