War in Brief Global conflicts shift as leaders change hands
Major General Jonathan Walt resumes command in the Philippines replacing General MacArthur who transfers to Australia. MacArthur arrives in Australia to assume command as American forces prepare for a broader war effort. In Europe Russia seizes a key port, and naval battles near Narvik, Norway signal ongoing Allied and Axis actions. In Burma Chinese forces kill hundreds of Thai soldiers near Tongtong as clashes intensify along the Burma front. In North Africa British forces report activity but the front line remains fluid with Axis moves confined to the Cheve Ima area and allied counteractions ongoing.
