A Blazing World (4-player game)

[NatRapsEno]

I will be away for a couple hours shortly. The odds of me flying support are low for any of your attacks. The one exception would be in the Ukraine. I might risk the bomber that has a 3 tactical rating if it's presence in the battle would make a big difference ( a two column shift or more ). Otherwise, you may proceed and make best loss decisions for me.

One Italian LND2 provide six points in grounds support for the attack on the Soviet MECH.

With decent Axis fighter coverage on all attacks I declined any Soviet air support.

German panzers blitz through the Soviet mechanized reserve.

The panzers are ordered to not advance due to concerns of enemy counter-attacks, but local commanders decide to exploit the breakthrough anyway...

The last attack of the impulse also goes well.
