I'm not sure I have ever seen China build naval units....

[Mayhemizer_slith]

They can do what ever they want, Japs have units in three hexes in China...

[Jagdtiger14]

I've seen China with naval units often in the board game, I'm sure with the way the map is in MWiF you will see this even more often.

You listed what German cities MIL is coming in for reinforcements...what about the USSR?

[AllenK]

Mil's were Sian & Lanchow.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

M/J 41 Axis 1

No DoW

Germany land, Italy and Japan naval.

German FTR to Italian coast box 2.

Japan sends fleet of transporter to China Sea box 0 and loads INF HQ, 2x INF, INF div and ENG from China. Japan retreats from central China.

Trans sails to South China Sea and loads Bangkok MIL from Hainan.

Italian sub to East Med box 3, Cape St. Vincent boxes 2 and 3, North Atlantic box 2. Italian fleet (7 ships) sails to Italian coast box 2.

Italy initiates combat everywhere possible.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

North Atlantic: Axis 8, Allies 5. No combat.

Cape St. Vincent: Axis 8, Allies 5. No combat. Do we have fixed dice?

Do CW want to fly any planes to West Med?

[AllenK]

No thanks.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

West Med: Axis 5, Allies 5. No combat. How hard is this in good weather?

East Med: Axis 4, Allies 6. Only box 0 is selected and CP sinks. Do CW want to stay with their CA's?

I bet they do (will load the game if they want to abort), Italy also stays but sub goes to bottom as there are no more CP's. Combat in East Med is over.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Then Italian Coast. I kind of hoped all planes would be OOS at this moment.

Do CW want to fly any planes?

[AllenK]

No thanks

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Italian Coast: Axis 10, Allies 4. No combat.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Ground strikes in Moscow and in southern front. Do USSR want to intercept? Axis have planes in intercept range.
