Miss.
Intercept this ground strike? Axis can counter with the Italian Saetta in the picture.

Re: Storm Clouds Gathering (4-player game)
You can add up to 8 factors to this attack. Italy has an AA gun in the attack. No Axis fighters can intercept.

ART + LND3 (Blenheim) provide defensive ground support.
Land the LND3 in Suez.
Thank you.

Orm isn't feeling quite well yet, back at the hospital for some checks, so our impulse might take a while longer.

I had, or have, some infection (or other, they do not know which bug it is yet) in the stomach after the surgery a couple of weeks ago. They opened a drainage into my chest (not sure if chest is the right word, but stomach is the only other word I can think of and that doesn't fit either) yesterday to drain the fluids out caused by said infection, and I responded well to that. Home again with lots of antibiotics prescribed.rkr1958 wrote: Sat Apr 13, 2024 7:06 pmReally hate to hear that.

Getting back into MWIF will help my recovery. At least I believe it will help my mental recovery.

Re: Storm Clouds Gathering (4-player game)
wow. Infection like that is nothing to mess around with. Hope it clears up soon, glad you're home and feeling better. I agree that MWIF is good for one's mental recovery and for keeping our brains young.Orm wrote: Sun Apr 14, 2024 4:16 pmI had, or have, some infection (or other, they do not know which bug it is yet) in the stomach after the surgery a couple of weeks ago.

Re: Storm Clouds Gathering (4-player game)
Combined actions across the board.
Naval Moves - Transport leaves Tobruk and picks up the German Corps in Salonica and stops in two box of East Med. Japan picks up the Fukuoako militia and 6-3 Marine and move to the 0 box of China Sea. Germany moves subs from Kiel to Faeroes Gap.
Axis will search some of these areas, beginning with Faeroes Gap.
Support?
