2/20/21, 1:33 PM - [Allied]: (6) North Atlantic: No combat (I think). The CW didn't move any additional units in but the US did. Not sure if that would allow the Italians to initiate. I guess we'll find out in a bit.

2/20/21, 1:37 PM - [Axis]: That's it
2/20/21, 1:37 PM - [Allied]: copy. off to search then.

2/20/21, 1:40 PM - [Allied]: USN sub group will flip to search. Because of storms no air reactions possible.

2/20/21, 1:45 PM - [Axis]: you will get 2 aborts on me
2/20/21, 1:45 PM - [Allied]: I used 4 SPs to decrease your risk to none.
2/20/21, 1:45 PM - [Axis]: yea, thanks
2/20/21, 1:45 PM - [Axis]: thanks
2/20/21, 1:45 PM - [Allied]: With X & D vs the lone sub, increasing risk didn't make sense.
2/20/21, 1:46 PM - [Allied]: That is, anything beyond X, D short of 2X was a waste and couldn't get you to 2X.
2/20/21, 1:46 PM - [Axis]: right

2/20/21, 1:48 PM - [Allied]: copy
2/20/21, 1:50 PM - [Allied]: Searches: USN=9, IJN=3. Thought I was toast, but the IJN CVP was long enough range to give that +1. PHEW. Neither find.
2/20/21, 1:51 PM - [Allied]: Axis may search: Hawaiian islands, North Atlantic and Cape St. Vincent. Apparently moving the neutral USN ships in the North Atlantic & Cape St. Vincent is enough to provide the Germans/Italians.
2/20/21, 1:51 PM - [Allied]: Searches?

2/20/21, 1:55 PM - [Axis]: yes
2/20/21, 1:56 PM - [Allied]: Searches: Axis=6, allied=7, neither find.
