I was soooo aftaid turn ends. CW has not yet taken naval action as land combat has been so intense. I hope I can take naval now and sail all my TRS to transport my units.

[Orm]

Funny. I was sure it would not end.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Your assumption was more realistic, but there was 20% chance for a disaster due to lack of my planning and organizing skills.

Edit: dang you guys are good. You retreat annoyingly well in France and soon the summer ends. I bet retreating ends when rains arrive…

[Orm]

The French situation.

Allies don't initiate naval combat.

Axis can initiate if they want to.

[peskpesk]

Yes, plz.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

USSR FTR2 to box 1

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Axis 6, Allies 2 (I accidentally accepted roll 3 but it doesn't matter)

2 points to reduce own damage
2 points to increase damage

How do you place aborts and do you stay? I assume aborts to Petsamo (Or does CP try to abort to German port?)

[Mayhemizer_slith]

CP and BB aborted to Petsamo, 2nd round

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Allies find 8-1 and combat is over.

Remaining BB survived D rolling 10.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Ground strikes begin, USSR attacks two hexes.

Both ART are doubled by O-Chit

Any interceptions? Axis have FTR2 7,6,5 and FTR3 4

Allies can counter with 7,7,6,6

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Tripoli is attacked by 2x P38, it cannot be intercepted

[peskpesk]

In the East, plz send FTR2(6 str), target bomber, return (SW,SW) of target hex.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

USSR sends FTR2 (6) as a back up fighter

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Bomber is cleared

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Artillery did not deliver what we expected

[Mayhemizer_slith]

It was a good idea to send that bomber "just in case"
