44 MJ i1 allies (cont):
SU rail ARM Vlad to atop Koniev near d-town

SU land moves:
SU sets up 2 attacks using Zhukov's ochit near Kiev.

SU attacks:
2 attacks shown in photo (also I think all air on top that can fly so it's easy to see what's available). No SU HQ's are in the attacks.
North Attack:
75.5:18 (+14.4B) - 2 ENG being used

South Attack:
86:16 (+13.8B) - 2 AA in the attk, 6(3)5 and 6(4)5 HQ's can defensive support

SU won't fly any DAS. What will axis fly? Will HQ's commit?

No, planes or HQ support.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Northern attack is not that big of a success, no losses to the Axis.

USSR advances to the hex.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Southern hex goes as planned.

Which unit is saved?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

ROM MECH is saved and USSR advances to the hex.

Upgraded MWIF to version 05.00.00.10.

I hope that works.

[jjdenver]

Gents where are we?

[Orm]

I am sorry for the delay. There has been a combination of reasons for the delay. Our other games has been slowly progressing during the same time because they've been easier (less units).

I had hoped getting our impulse going this weekend. Alas, I've been stomach sick a couple of days and that caused a further delay. Still not recovered enough to eat, but feel well enough to play some MWIF. However, I am beginning with the easiest game (least complicated).

I plan to begin this game tomorrow (if I can keep some food). Or perhaps later this evening.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I hope you get well soon

[jjdenver]

Thanks for the update and I hope you will feel better soon. I hope we can do 1 side (ax or al) impulse in 1 week maybe going forward. It will be nice if we can then maybe we can finish by end of 2024 . Thank you.

[Orm]

My play tempo is indeed to slow. I will work on increasing my play speed.

Catalina from Truk to box 4, thank you.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Just a minor error in plans: US has no plane or escort in East Coast…

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I get to bed now.

No planes to Italian Coast or US East Coast (I think only FTR2 could fly there)

NAV2 from Lisbon to CSV box 0.
