Italy will search in the Arabian Sea soon. Any air added there?

[NatRapsEno]

4 points for surface, use 3 to increase damage to the Axis. Aborts on Devonshire until aborted, then Birmingham. Abort zone to Gibraltar afterwards.

No support for Arabian Sea

No action in the Arabian Sea (7-4).

[Orm]

Looks to me like there is a OOS bug for the German controlled Egyptian TERR in Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. As I see it the TERR should get sea supply through the Italian CP in the Red Sea.

You don't have a CP in East Med, so that CP is not functional at this point.

[Orm]

The Egyptian TERR draw supply to Cairo, or other Egyptian cities, so the friendly Italian CP in the Red Sea should be enough for the TERR to be in supply. It seems like a bug to me.

I had planned to move the TERR a couple of hexes, but the OOS bug is an obstacle.

[NatRapsEno]

Yea, the territorial is fine. The problem is that CP represents Italian ships which need supply. They aren't getting any.

However, that's just my logic. I don't know for sure. Surely this has come up before and hopefully someone will weigh in for a definitive answer.

I posted about it in the tech sub-forum.

Germany makes 5 attacks in USSR, and Japan makes one attack in China.

Two Japanese LND2 add 3 points in ground support for the attack on Chihkiang.

Italy fly one 4-strength FTR2 pre-emptively to Kursk.

No other Axis support.

Will USSR add any defensive support?

Save sent.

Here is a closer picture on the attack in Ukraine.

Fly the Pe-2 in the Ukrainian attack. Land in Dnepropetrovsk.

[Orm]

SB-2RK is the LND3 that has reach in Ukraine. The Pe-2 has range to the two attacks in the Moscow region.

[NatRapsEno]

OK, loading save now

[Orm]

The attack in China on Chihkiang is the only one where it is not clear which LCT to use. The odds is 4:1. Should it be assault, or blitz?
