AXIS #3 JAN/FEB 44

Allied forces destroyed the screening Bremen Militia east of Rouen in an automatic attack. Strategic raids on German cities cost 2pp, Germans don't intercept.

Italy naval, Germany and Japan land actions. What remains of the Italian fleet steams out to Italian Coast.

Subs fail to find in North Atlantic. But 1&8 finds in W Med, where Italian air power destroys a CW cp.

However there are more in reserve and the Allies placement of HQs in Algeria puts few units oos.

[professorhex]

The Allies opt to not intercept ground strikes in the rain.

The Germans have some success against US Armour in Netherlands.

Also against Marines accompanying Clark's HQ.
