Rail move: 6-3 INF from Danzig to Toulouse. Italians rail 75mm Art to von Leeb on the Spanish border.

Japs move Mil to Pyongyang and a couple of moves in Southern China.

[AllenK]

Italian Mtn heads towards Spain while the Inf Div captures Cartagena and Valencia.

Germany declares 64:14 (4:1) attack to Barcelona. CW can use 7 points of def shore bombardment to make it 61:21 (2:1). I guess all ships are free to fire as much as they can?

Two CW combers also can (try to) give ground support. 5 point Bf109 is next to Barcelona waiting...

[Orm]

CW provide maximum defensive shore bombardment to the defence of Barcelona.

CW must however, with regret, decline to give any air support, due to the fact that the new air bases have not yet received the proper munitions for ground support missions in urban environment.

The Spanish defenders, in Barcelona, elect to make the battle an assault.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany uses attacking HQ support in Barcelona. Von Bock leads attack giving a boost to troops (on a 3 roll is successful).

Final odds. I believe assault is chosen also in Korea?

[Orm]

I believe assault is chosen also in Korea?

Yes.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany takes Barcelona, but all units are disorganized (1 higher needed to stay organized). Both Spanish units are destroyed because there is no place to retreat.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Partisan is destroyed with a cost of MIL. Japan must choose which MIL is destroyed.

[AllenK]

May as well lose the Seoul Mil. Don't bother advancing into the hex.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Bf109 rebases close to Madrid.

Ju52 and Rundstedt reorganizes 5 units near Barcelona.

Weather roll is good and the Sun is shining!

Back to Allies.

No Port Strikes. No naval air.

CW send two transporters to the Bay of Biscay, escorted by two cruisers. They sailed from Gibraltar and from Spanish Sahara. They stay in the 0-box and load a HQI and a MECH from UK.

The British fighter initiate combat in the Western Mediterranean. No additional Allied air is sent to the area. Will Italy send any air (only one Italian fighter available)?

The British bomber sink the Italian battleship Conte Di Cavour.

To what ship will Italy assign the next result (abort)?

[AllenK]

The CA Eugenio Di Savoia, thanks.

[Orm]

The cruiser Eugenio Di Savoia avoids being aborted. CW decide to abort the Italian convoy.

What ship will take the final abort result?
