Axis and Allies 1939

This evening I have been continuing my solo game based on the original Axis and Allies game, but tracking the war from September 1939.
Tonight was December 1939 to February 1940.
Before each turn I document the historical activity and with that information I study the strategic situation on the board.
In both the far east and in western Europe the campaign has moved ahead of history because it was obvious to the Japanese and the Germans that delay would reduce the chances if victory.
The Japanese have now taken French Indo-China and all the island groups north of Australia.
The Germans have moved into France and the Low Countries, but their submarine building programme suffered a setback after the RAF attacked the new U-boat fleet in the Baltic and effectively wiped it out.
