German player's notes

War situation

Germany controls all of Germany (including East Prussia and Austria (but no Austrian units available)), has aligned Czechoslovakia (but no Czech units available), has conquered Poland (west of the Nazi-Soviet partition line), Yugoslavia, Denmark, and Iceland. Note that Germany gained 4 extra convoy points from Finland (3) and Latvia (1). Any planes that don't have a pilot are placed into the reserve pool.

Special note for German carrier planes: draw 3 carrier planes. You may place them each on any carrier.

As usual, only convoy points may be set up at sea for a neutral major power.
