Next up is the West Med.

[Orm]

Will Italy provide any air cover to the West Med?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

No thank you.

[Orm]

Neither side finds in the West Med (search rolls 6 and 4).

Allied decline to search in the two remaining sea areas.

Italy can activate in CSV. Will they?

A point of order gentlemen.

Mayhemizer could I ask you to kindly refrain from blowing kisses at Orm.

Thank-you.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

You can ask, but I do what I want [;)]

I logged in by phone and went to wrong page or something. There was a naval combat question and I answered to it. After noticing my error, I edited my post. True story [:D]

Land Movement (Cont)
The Soviets - obviously commanded by Field Marshall Ranieri - continue to tinker with their forces in the west.

In Manchuria, elements of Ivan Koniev's Far Eastern Front, spearheaded by the 4th Guards Mechanised Army, close in on the Manchurian corps defending the mountain passes leading to Harbin - the key road and rail junction in Manchuria. Meanwhile the weak 6th Infantry Army push south toward that vital town.

The Chinese Communists also tinker with their dispositions to allow for the withdrawal of the Chinese Nationalists.

Air Transport
None

Land Combat
One attack declared in Manchuria. No HQ support, but the Soviets bring in a bomber to bring the odds to 5:1 +2. Japan has the choice. Which will it be?

Looks like we've lost Mayhemizer and not seen AllenK so I will save it there for the evening. I was going to go for the assault table but its actually not that clear cut. With Blitzkrieg there are two chances of not losing a unit - with assault of course there is more chance of stopping the Soviets in their tracks.
