Intercept with the 109 in the hex. Land in Liege. What I might decide with a result that is my choice depends on several factors so I will need to make the decision.

Land actions across the board.

Simple turn really. No air missions. Germany advanced units for two attacks on the Western Front. Japan advanced for an attack on Chengchow. Italy advanced into Southern France.

Declined air support for you here as I get the impression these two units are 'taking one for the team'.

Intercept the Commonwealth bomber with the Italian Saetta. The French bomber with the 5-strength German fighter to the SouthEast. Land both whence.
