J/A 40 Axis 3

No DoW or alignments.

Japan & Germany Land. Italy Combined.

Italy flies SM.81 to the West Med 2-box.

Italy sails 4 BB's into West Med. Do the Allies wish to intercept?

[Orm]

Do the Allies wish to intercept?

No, thank you.

[AllenK]

The BB's stop in the 4-box.

3 areas for naval combat, although East Med will be declined.

[AllenK]

In West Med, the Italian fighter initiates searching. No additional air is flown.

CW could fly a number of aircraft. Blenheim and Harrow can get to 2-box, the Spitfire the 1-box and the others the 0-box.

[Orm]

No air for West Med.

[AllenK]

How about the sub?

How about the sub?

The sub stay safe.

[AllenK]

Searches: Axis 6, Allies 3.

Which boxes do the Allies wish to include?

[Orm]

Which boxes do the Allies wish to include?

Only the 2 box and use 4 surprise points to avoid combat.

[AllenK]

In Biscay, the Italian sub initiates searches.

Do the CW wish to fly the Gladiator? It can make the 1-box.

[Orm]

Do the CW wish to fly the Gladiator? It can make the 1-box.

No, thank you.

[AllenK]

The Italians decide to keep their options open by committing the sub.

It comes to nothing with search rolls of Axis 6 and Allies 10.

The Japs have a punt and send 2 CVP's on a ground strike in Southern China.

Close but not close enough!

[AllenK]

Hanover Mil rails from the Baltic to Southern Spain, joining Gen Graziani. Garr rails from Memel to Frederikshavn.

Italian Mot and Graziani move slighlty westward in Spain.

The Japs move a couple of units around in China.

German forces push south in Spain.

[AllenK]

Just the one land combat is declared, in China. Assault or Blitz?

[Orm]

Just the one land combat is declared, in China. Assault or Blitz?

No HQ support?

[AllenK]

No HQ support.

[Orm]

Assault.

[AllenK]

Inexperience with 1d10 tables showing. I should have included an attempt at HQ support as it was likely it would get disorganised anyway.

The attack is a bust as the Japs revert to the traditional low land combat roll.

[AllenK]

Germany rebases 2 fighters and a Stuka to Seville and Do-17 to hex west of Cartagena.

No reorgs and it's back to the Allies.
