Italian FTR and TRS (loaded with AA gun from Tripoli) to West Med box 2.

Italy initiates combat in West Med and sends NAV to box 2.

Are French planes going to fly?

[AllenK]

You might want to redo the naval move as it doesn't look like the Art has loaded. MS 406 to 0-box, thanks.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Both sides rolls 8, no combat.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Italy bombs factories in Vichy and Lyons. Rolling 2 and 2 causes no damage.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

German ground strike fails.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Japanese pilots hits well (both planes rolled 1).

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Italy rails Rome MIL to Palermo.

Italy debarks AA gun to Genoa.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany declares desperate attack against Rotterdam using HQ support.

Does CW want to send any planes? Germany has 2 fighters in stand by. German AA gun in attacking too, so it can fire some flak.

[AllenK]

No thanks.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Assault or Blitz?

[AllenK]

Assault, thanks.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Looks like Allies are here to stay...

[Mayhemizer_slith]

During land move and land combat phase Chinese 1st INF was not shown to be OOS. I was wondering it a bit, but thought that I was wrong (city does not provide supply as it is empty and in ZoC of enemy). Would it be OK if I make an automatic (or very close to automatiz) attack?

I think reloading this after playing 4 player game caused it showing OOS correctly.

[AllenK]

If you need to go back to order the attack in China, by all means.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Attack in China is +19. Is it assault or blitz?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

It has to be assault. If blitz gives result B, I can make unit retreat and kill next impulse on open ground.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I though this game was about excellent start for Germany... Japs are doing pretty well. I might end up destroying communist Chinese first time ever in my game.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany rebases Ju52 to Rumania.

Back to Allies.

The French initiate combat in the West Med with the fighter in the 0-box. Do the Italians wish to add the fighter at Genoa (up to 1-box)?
