Indeed. No search.

3 air ground strikes on the Eastern front and you can intercept two of them. The two bomber strikes in Poland are on their own, no intercepts available.

Two attacks on the Eastern front which you can support. The attack on Lvov you may support freely. with both bombers. The attack in the Pripyet marshes has the Italian fighter flying as cover for the attack.

The Soviet fighter pilots have definitely been eating their Wheaties this past impulse!

Impulse #5 (Allied)

No declarations of war.

Land: USSR
Combined: USA, CW, China
Naval: Free France

Port Strike:
CW + USA:
NAV3 England -> La Rochelle
NAV2 + 3 CVP (bombers) + 2 FTR2 (escorts) England + North Sea -> Brest

Germany has one FTR2 that can intercept the Brest raid (The Hungarian may not interfere due to Italian AA in target hex). CW has one FTR3 on standby. Will Germany intercept? If not, will the AA fire?

no intercept. Fire AA if port strike can't be avoided.

Impulse #5 (Allied)

Allies gets points at Brest (Axis 9, Allies 5), so both Axis AA fire. Allies decide to not use any points against the AA fire.
