Sorry the response was in the plural. Same rules apply to all sea areas, all searches, all odds. All Axis stay in all areas until destroyed.

Jul/Aug 1940
Impulse: 8 (Axis)

Rail Movement: None
Land Movement:
Japan

The Japanese move back into Nanyang and the US continue their official policy of 'don't care' (a 9 is thrown). But this changes when the move into Ichang is completed (a 1 is thrown).

Germany

The Germans centre their focus on Strasbourg

Land Combat:
Germany

Just one attack against Strasbourg is announced. A stuka is brought in to make the attack almost automatic (0.67 away). It has to be assault or its automatic anyway.

The fractionals succeeds (a 118 is thrown) and this makes the attack automatic.
