Impulse #9 (Axis) Cont'

Naval Search, Axis find 2 v 7 and I don't think you need pictures to confirm the fate of the CP.

Please forgive me for putting Allies instead of Axis on the roller however I always put whoever gets the first roll at the top indicated by the (1-5) for Axis to find and not Allies.

I am not sure how MWIF handles surprise on French units in Belgium. I find the rule somewhat unclear. The Italians are flying over a hex (Belgian) of a country that was at war with them last impulse, and that should negate surprise.

Georges (HQI) gives defensive HQ support.

FTR3 adds defensive ground support, and is escorted by one FTR2.

Land the FTR3 in Paris, and the FTR2 whence.
