Where do the CW wish to abort the Queens to?

Mogador, Morocco.

CW will initiate combat in Western Mediterranean. HMS Cornwall is used to scout for the Italian fleet.

Mogador it is.

Do the Allies wish to have a bat in the West Med?

Do the Allies wish to have a bat in the West Med?

Indeed.

HMS Cornwall search.

Italy adds a Nav to the 2-box.

CW has a variety of aircraft available.

Spitfire to 1-box, Vildebeest and Hampden to 2-box and Blenheim to 3-box. Do any take to the air?

No additional air. The French submarine does not participate.

Searches of 7 for both sides mean no combat.

Japan sends 2 Lnd and the 105mm Art to ground strike the Chinese units SW of Yenan.

I need to check whether the Germans want any ground strikes, so that wraps things up for tonight.

No ground strikes for Germany or Italy.

The Japs manage one hit.

No rail moves.

Northern China after Jap land moves.

Japan declares just the one land attack.

No air or HQ support.

Do the Chinese wish to order the No. 23 Assault Pork with Noodles or the No. 34 Blitz Chicken Chow Mein?

Western Europe after land moves.

Do the Chinese wish to order the No. 23 Assault Pork with Noodles or the No. 34 Blitz Chicken Chow Mein?

[:D]

I rather have lost Japanese with assault. [;)]

Ichang fortune cookie serves up a 9 which, predictably, leaves the Japanese wanting more within a short time.

The US, however, takes a Dim Sung view of the matter. When the Harbin Mil marches into the city, the press whips up public opinion into a right stew (2 rolled. 1 chit to Jap pool).

Rebase for Germany:

Bf109 from SE of Lille to [53,34] hex east of Aachen
Bf109 from Aachen to [53,30] SE of Lille
Bf109 from SW of Bordeaux, one hex to SE [62,25]

No reorgs

Weather turns out fine everywhere.

No declarations of war.

Land: China
Combined: USSR, USA, CW
Naval: France

No Port Strikes.

CW fly a fighter into the Eastern Mediterranean (2-box).

HMS Furious sail for Liverpool while 2 cruiser replace her on the Bay of Biscay station.

French initiate a search for the Italian navy in the Western Mediterranean. CW reinforce the area (1-box) with one fighter and one naval bomber.

Will Germany commit their Bf 110C to Western Med? (It only reaches the 0-box)

Also, to speed things a little bit, will Germany initiate combat in the Bay of Biscay sea area since CW declined to search in this area. If so, which of the aircraft will initiate? If you want to wait for the results in the Western Med then that is fine as well. (air support to the Bay of Biscay will be a later question either way)

No additional planes from Germany to any sea area.

Germany uses Bf109 to initiate combat in Bay of Biscay.

I forgot that the Italian aircraft are added in a second step. [:(]

So will Italy add any aircraft to the West Med?

No thanks [:)]

And no to Bay of Biscay also.

In the West Med the Allied string of super awesome search rolls continues with a 9. Fortunately enough the Axis roll of a 4 was not enough to find the fumbling Allied fleet.

I believe we have enough points to avoid combat?
