It looked like CW lost the Venezuelan oil despite being able to transport it. I am going to check but it seems CW is owed one oil.

Lands for Italy and Germany, combined for Japan.

Japan transports the 8-3 Infantry corps to Haichow. The 4-1 Garrison from Tientsin to Canton.

Two ground strikes that you can see in the picture. Germany can counter each with a 5-strength fighter.

No thanks

Support the attack? Germany has a 4-strength Bf-110 twin-engined fighter that can intercept.

The line holds.

Germany rebases a fighter from Northern Germany to the Western Front. Bomber from Poland flies to Northern Italy. Japan rebases a plane to Manchuria, one to Korea, newly arrived D3 to Northern China. Italy rebases the Saetta fighter a few hexes NW.

Von Bock and Von Leeb are used to reorganize the units flipped in the attack.

Turn sent.
