May/Jun '41
Impulse #7 (Axis)

No declarations of war. (USSR once again managed to hold the garrison rating with almost no margin. The rush for fresh troops to go to the border may continue )

Land: Germany
Combined: Italy, Japan
Naval:

No Port Strikes. No Naval Air.

Naval Movement:
Italy:

Italy search in the Arabian Sea.

Edit: I missed updated Japanese orders, and a change of impulse to combined, so I edited this post to reflect the new Japanese order. Only thing added was the Japanese naval moves, and nothing removed.

[Orm]

No contact in the Arabian Sea. (Axis 9, Allies 3)

[Orm]

I hope to complete our impulse in an hour.

Wrong picture for air result. The Axis scored a DX PX. The Allies scored an AX and chose the Reisen fighter.

No reaction from USA regarding the German, and Italian, DOW on USSR (9). However, one marker was added due to the Japanese DOW (7).

[Orm]

The unit tray is not visible. Send save from earlier part or move the tray window, then send save. That seems to 'trick' it.

[Orm]

Perhaps it is easier if you recreate the DOWs and die rolls?

[NatRapsEno]

OK, will do.
