I don't think it's necessary for me and Leglaen to redo the first turn, lets just start at the first allied turn for Mordheim, from this indy file:

President Petain of the French wishes to ask his allies for assistance - could you please give us the allied bomber, allied fighter, and war adjustment techs? We would also appreciate it if you could gift us some units - AA batteries, Wellington Bombers, Spitfires, and M3 Stuarts would really help our cause.

Victory for the Kriegsmarine!
This turn the Reich's U-boats could not help but stumble upon completely unescorted ships throughout the Atlantic and Mediterranean.
- Off the American port of Norfolk, German subs had to move no more than one square to find the grand carrier HMS Courageous accompanied by the American battleship Arizona. After a very short melee, both ships were at the bottom of the ocean.
- Further north a loaded cargo ship had just left Boston completely without air or ship escort and was promptly sunk.
- Finally, and perhaps most importantly, two of His Majesty's greatest battleships, fresh out of the Suez Canal, were found alone in transit to Libya and both were sunk. Unfortunately the wolfpack had to exhaust all of its torpedo stocks, but regardless this huge development brings the Mediterranean's naval balance to one battleship and one carrier for the Allies vs. three battleships and two U-boats for Germany and Italy. The U-boat ace in charge of the operation has already become legendary, and he will receive the Knight's Cross and a grand parade when he arrives back in Kiel to resupply.
The great successes this week at sea brought tears to the eyes of both the Fuhrer and grand Admiral Raeder. The fuhrer noted that he recently had had a strange nightmare in which the allies had a competent anti-submarine campaign under some imaginary all-knowing leader of Britain. Now we can relax and expect the ineptitude we had hoped for, unless the Allies learn their lesson and organize a convoy system.
On land these last two weeks have been defined by inaction in France. Elsewhere we saw success as Zurich, Danzig, and Katowice fell to Prussian troops (plus Krakow and Warsaw are empty and cut off in all directions from reinforcement), but Reims was better defended than, well, the last time I played this turn, so an all-out assault into France has been postponed.

Frieghter torpedoed off coast of USA was acting in direct violation of Convoy procedure, all merchant captains now understand a violation of these rules will mean instant demotion (more likley death).
Sidenote: Kobyashi, from a historical standpoint, the Kriegsmarine didn't have any subs in the atlantic in Sept 1939, didn't they?
As for this turn, nothing interesting happened.

No need to defend cities that aren't going to be attacked
Although the first cargo ship to be sunk was the Bosnia on Sept 5 1939, the blockade of britain was not announced by Hitler until Aug 17 1940 and the Battle of the atlantic is normally acknowledged to have started in mid 1940.
However, in ZWK the US are supposed to be neutral until the Air Battle Analysis is discovered. So if you start supplying men and tanks to Britain from the start, its only fair to assume that 'Fuhrer Hess' would order the immediate attack of all cargo vessels. To be truthful, most of the U-boats at that stage were the larger Type IXs and it would be easy for them to be prowling off the US east coast.

Not much action, just unsuprisingly beefed up my defences.

- Reims destroyed.
- Krakow, Warsaw, and Bratislava captured.
- Paris is empty, and most troops close enough to reinforce it have been destroyed.
- I sent the techs to the Minor Axis yop, but the bomber is going to have to wait for a turn.
