No luck, this time, with the ground strike.

Sep/Oct '41
Impulse #3 (Axis)

Rail Movement:
Germany:
MIL Berlin -> Smolensk
INF Breslau -> Pskov
ART Breslau -> E Pskov

Land Movement:

Italy:
HQA in France puts the Brest base in supply.
HQI on the Soviet front moves into the Smolensk defence line.

Germany:
Finnish front: No movement.
East front North: Minor movement to strnghten defences. Reinforcements enroute from Prussia.
East front Central: Advance towards Belgorod. Tries to establish a defence behind Don, and between Tula-Smolensk.
East front South: Minor movement to improve defences, and the supply situation.
Other fronts: No movement.

Japan:
Cautious advance into Malaya.
Minor movement in the Chita region.

Invasions:
Japan:
7 different hexes are invaded, all automatic, after support.
They are:
INF Div -> Telok Betong
HQI + MAR -> E Batavia
MAR -> 2 hexes E Batavia
MTN Div -> Rabaul
2 MAR Div + INF Div -> SW Sydney
PARA Div -> Suva
INF Div -> Pago Pago

I included the notional on all of them to get them listed later on as attacks. This can be changed if need be.

The invasion on Australian gets support by 2 BB, 1 CA, and 2 CVP.

Germany makes one attack against Belgorod, USSR. No support added. Current odds 55:6, or slightly above +16.

Any defensive Soviet air? Germany has one FTR2 available- DefGroundSupport

Fly the PE-2 escorted by the I-16. Land both in Rostov.

Germany counters with their FTR2.

Another air combat lost by Germany. *sigh*

Impulse #3 (Axis)

Final odds.

Edit: I will not use the die roller for the Japanese attacks since they are automatic. Nor post their results. Except the result of any overrun units.

The German army manages to win the battle despite the failure of the air force.

The division landing on Pago Pago destroys one FTR2, and one NAV3, while the CP escapes (10).

The Japanese in Polynesia tries to intercept the CP.

Interception fails (6).

Placed the CP in San Diego. This can be changed.

Taking a break for at least a couple of hours.

Germany use the ATR3 to reorganise the MIL in Smolensk.

The fine summer weather returns.
