Axis very fortunate to have two good weather turns in March/April. Let's hope they can take advantage of it.

You shouldn't be nervous, France is supposed to fall! All the pressure is on the Germans.

Land actions for Germany and Japan. Combined for Italy. Italy moves a task force with CP into 0 box of Italian coast. Do the Allies wish to search?

You can intercept these two ground strikes. One is already escorted as can be seen. The other one on Metz can be intercepted by a 5 and 4 strength fighter shown in picture.

The flyout hides the GS on Metz.

Edit: Is it a 5--strength Stuka?

It's the other 5 tactical bomber rating Stuka flying alone, but the two interceptors mentioned previously are available for it if needed.

4-strength FTR2 intercept the raid on Metz.

Stay as long as bomber remains.
Target bomber.
Return to the hex it flew from.

One attack in France you can support. Von Leeb in attack using HQ support. The engineer is in the attack but used only in a passive role. The German AA gun is in an adjacent hex and can be used but is not involved directly in the attack.

Do you wish to fly support? The Italian Saetta can intercept.

Almost positive you would pick assault in both of these.

Both cities fall but the Chinese put up stiff resistance.

Japan occupies the city without international incident.

Germany moves fighter in Northern Germany to Western front. Move the He112 from Italy to Northern Germany. Italy rebases the Alcione to Germany. The Falco flies north into Northern Italy.

Japan rebases a fighter further south.

Turn sent.
