42 ND i2 (cont):
ground strike:
SU launches 2 with ART and 2 with planes in Russia. Germans have lots of intercept possibilities. Soviets can counter in south, but no more in north. What will Germany fly and where to RTB (if you can already decide - if not it's fine of course)? Also if you want to give instructions about how to handle the combat that will be fine, otherwise we can go blow-by-blow posts to forum.

[peskpesk]

No planes in the north.

Plz send 6 str FTR(BF 109 F-3) in the south, target bomber. Return to 2-5 Inf Div Hex.

[jjdenver]

Ground strike:
SU Yak-9M counter in south to make air combat +0ax/+1al

SU FTR shot down, AX FTR is aborted, bomber goes through. Surviving SU FTR RTB's whence near Kiev.



AX have 3-3 AA in north that can counter (just east of GS hex) - will it fire?

[peskpesk]

3-3 AA in north that can counter (just east of GS hex) - will it fire?

No, thx and no AA in the south.

[jjdenver]

Debark

US GAR to 63,30
US AA gun to 63,29

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Allies disembark units to France and go for an attack.

Will Axis use defensive HQ support?

Allies send CVP Swordfish to ground support (1 factor).

Will axis send ground support? Allies have plenty of fighters to intercept.

There are so many planes that can join the combat I think it's better to check from the game what planes you want to send.

Picture and odds from declaration phase.
