Allies find in the Western Mediterranean (4-7), select the 0-box only, and has enough points to make it a surface action and sink the CP.

No luck with the ground strikes in China. It was the fourth time, this turn, that we missed to disorganize the Japanese 2nd Army.

Minor adjustments including the following:
CAV in the east of Manchuria move close to Changchun
A couple of partisans in Finnish borderlands relocate one hex each
GARR liberate Viborg
CAV moves a couple of hexes north, stopping south of Leningrad
Vatutin moves NW into Vitebsk
Rotation of several units so that the defence of Cernauti is strengthened

CH COM

INF Chungking->84,134(SE)

CW:
MOT (Djibouti) -> 102,69 in Eritrea

Debark:
USA:
MOT -> Casablanca

Invasion:
CW:
MAR + INF Div -> Kristiansand

CW add 6,5 (7 points from three ships) points in shore bombardment to the invasion, and fly one LND3 on extended range that adds 1,5 in ground support that can not be intercepted. Giving a total of 15:1 +1 in odds, or automatic. Germany can fly their NAV4 to add one point in ground support to the notional. Thus making the final odds 15:2 +1, or 7:1 +1.

Will Germany fly with their NAV4? If so, where should it land after its mission?

Edit: Correction, Vatutin moved into Vitebsk.

no support

The invasion went way better than expected. Kristiansand liberated. Forces moving around with no idea on how to proceed, now that all objectives have been achieved within hours after landing.
