Naval for Britain, Land for France.

Naval Moves: Britain makes moves all over the map. I will pass on the search below for you. You can force me back to this search if need be.

Good call

One move of note was the British evacuated Denmark.

France rails units to Eastern France from Bourdeaux and Brest. Shuffles units around near Belgian border.

Turn attached.

Italy:
NAV2 -> Italian C. 4-box

Naval movement:

Japan:
TRS Canton -> Japan - embark MIL -> SCS

Italy:

Italy search in the Italian Coast. I exclude the CW SUB for you.

Italy find in the Italian Coast (3-10), and make it a surface action.

How should the results on the CW ships be applied?

Coventry and Australia for the X. Abort zone to Malta for remaining ships.

Very effective damage control on the CW ships.

The Italian damage control also seems to work.

Italy stay for a second round. Exclude the SUB for CW.
