Germany makes one land attack, and that is the combined operation versus Athens.

Will Allies add the 1 strength notional to the Athens defence? The combined German attack force is 5.5 in strength, although this is expected to increase with shore bombardment, and ground support.

Don't include the notional

5 SCS adds 6 points in shore bombardment, and two German LND3 on extended range add another 6 points in ground support, making the attack on Athens to 16.5 (rounded to 17) versus 4. I am assuming assault is selected.

Four CPs sunk, and one CL captured. The remaining 6 CPs, and one CA, escape. To what port? And do any sail together?

As a group if possible, to Aden.

[Orm]

The intercept attempt fails on a 6.

Aden is not allowed. The Greek ships are not allowed to enter another minor. Bombay, Malta, and Gibraltar are examples of allowed ports.

[NatRapsEno]

Bombay please

[NatRapsEno]

Or Suez if that fails

To tired for any end of turn stuff now. Save will be mailed shortly.

[NatRapsEno]

Do you mind if I go ahead and start the end of turn?

[Orm]

Please do. I am glad if you do.

[NatRapsEno]

Axis SAS sent. I will be in and out throughout the day but should be able to make progress. Italy needs one oil, correct?

[Orm]

Axis RTB sent. I will add the oil during the last stages of this EOT.

[NatRapsEno]

You can keep the file and do Allied oil please. Reorganize all for Commonwealth. Use the Yenangyuang, Port of Spain, and the saved oil from jesselton and Kuwait please.

For USA, leave the sub without oil, just use .4 please. For USSR reorganize Zhukov ( don't care which oil ). No breakdowns. Final production numbers should be good as they are for Allies. Therefore, you should be able to progress thru Axis builds. If I left anything out just make best decision for me. I will be out for a while.
