Three attacks by the Allies.

1) Automatic invasion by CW against Porto.

2) Chinese communists attack Tientsin. No support. Current odds is +10,571.

3) USSR attacks Wonsan. Koniev provides HQ support. No air added. Current odds is +9,3 blitz.

Japan has one LND2 that can support either attack. Will Japan fly?

Edit: Allies can not interfere with Japanese GS.

The CL Kuma was overrun in Wonsan and destroyed (3). The TRS escapes. Where will it go? Allies will intercept if it enters the China Sea (and probably in SCS as well).

Air rebase:

USSR:
FTR2 Kiev region -> Odessa region

CW:
FTR3 Maldives -> W India

USA:
LNd3 Kenya -> Seychelles

No reorganization.

Save sent.

Very clever move landing in Porto. Definitely took the Axis by surprise. Germany wanted to do another land action but feels compelled to do a combined and try and save the Portugese campaign from imminent collapse.

Land actions for Japan and Italy, combined for Germany.

Port attack by one Japanese CVP on Majunga.

[NatRapsEno]

The British are surprised and the Japanese use all their points to increase damage.
