Italy's naval move was to pull the CP from Italian Coast.

Welp, this is one of the stranger of the plethora of bugs in this game. The French artillery insists on shelling its own troops after all the Axis powers pass on ground strikes. I will reorganize this artillery before I send the game back to you ( if I remember ).

LoL.

The fifth columnists at work!

That is indeed one of the strangest bugs I have seen.
I thought I knew how to play this game....

Intercept this paradrop?

Axis have two 5-strength and two 4-strength fighters they can add via interception.

Use defending HQ support for either attack?

No HQ support.

Although, for the future. When taking such decisions it is nice to know the current odds. Perhaps to know how the units were doubled. Alternatively, sending us a save during combat is a way to go.

Yea, my mistake. I will send the save through now so you can take a look but will proceed because the odds are very good and I doubted you would use HQ support for these attacks.

Sent save through. Support either attack? There's an AA gun in the Northern attack. You may support the Southern attack freely.

Germany rebases fighters closer to the front. Japan rebases two bombers to Northern China. Italy rebases their Sparviero and Alcione to the Netherlands and the Saetta closer to the breakthrough units.
