I see the Euro axis continue to underperform when it comes to ground strikes. This time though only slightly as you actually flipped 3 vs the expected 3.6. So on the whole axis ground strike succes look to be improving.

Surprisingly good result from the ground strikes. Very happy with the result. :)

Four attacks against Soviet forces.

USSR can give defensive air support to them all. However, as the bombers would go unsupported against Axis fighters I assume that no defensive support will be provided. I hope that I am correct in my thinking. A save, and a picture, are provided for review afterwards.

Continuing onwards towards the attacks.

I'd be sacking a General after that battle! A few more of those are needed though.

Hopefully to a position where ZOC won't block the Burma road! Just have to get rid of an annoying Burma partisan.

Mar/Apr '41
Impulse #3 (Allies)

Land: USSR, China
Combined: US
Naval: CW, French
Pass:

Naval air: CW fighter to red sea.

Naval Movement: Too many CW and French naval moves to write down. Only thing that may be of interest would be loaded Transport in Bay of Bengal.

Strategic bombing: None.

Ground strikes: None.

Rail Movement: Lennigrad factory to Omsk. The Odessa factory railed last impulse appears lost in transit.

Land Movement: All pretty obvious.

Air Rebase: USSR IL-4 rebases south of Kiev & TB-3 rebases to Moscow. CW play musical aircraft with some rebases to North Sea and loaded CV's.

Reorganisation: CW Anson reorgs Ark Royal in Belfast. USSR TB-3 reorgs Tank in swamp. Timoshenko reorgs Mech and Inf.

Over to Axis.

Note Allies may fly GS if unescorted odds are no worse then -3/+2 in USSR.
