Right [:D] FF sub had no range to sail to East Coast, it barely reached East Med.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

No combat on Coral Sea (Allies 3, Axis 6).

On East Med Axis ships surprise Allies submarines (7-1).

How do want to proceed?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

After East Med combat is over, Axis can initiate on CSV if they want to.

Axis stay. No additional air.

Mar/Apr '43
Impulse #9 (Axis)

Land: Germany
Combined: Italy, Japan
Naval:

Germany, and Italy, decide to port strike Algiers during the snowy weather. Hoping that it takes the port defences by surprise. Two squadrons are launched from Cagliari.

[Orm]

The Axis gamble on that the cold weather was a distraction for the Allied defences failed.

How will the Allies use their 4 surprise points?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Avoid combat, thank you.

I was wondering what are you going to do with those planes. Didn’t see this one coming.

[Orm]
