The Russians rail a factor to the Urals and the Sverdlovsk militia to Dnepropetrovsk. The British rail the garrison from New Delhi to Calcutta.

The British move an infantry corps to the Finnish border in Karelia. The Russian forces their move into the swamp which opens the supply line to the Cavalry unit which pushes another hex West toward Finland. The British use their other land moves to move an Indian corps to the Burmese border and the Burmese militia retreats into Mandalay.

The Russians assemble a strongpoint defense in the Industrial region around Kharkov. They shift their forces further South in front of Moscow. The Soviet armor launches another attack in Southern Ukraine which you may freely support.
Support this attack?

Yes, please.

Rumania LND2 - lands Chisinau
FTR3 from NW Odessa with 3 in fighter value flies as a bomber - lands 53,56
LND2 Ju 87C - lands Kiev
LND2 Hs 123 - lands Kiev

The attack goes very well for the Soviets, who overrun the JU 87B air group trying to refuel.

I should have mentioned the Americans debarked an infantry garrison corps in Melbourne to prevent the immediate loss of Australia.

The USSR rebases their best fighter to Southern Ukraine and another bomber adjusts their as well. The British rebase a bomber from Southern India to Eastern India.

Impulse #8 (Axis)

No declarations of war.

Land: Germany
Combined: Japan
Naval: Italy

No Port Strikes.

Naval Air:
Japan:
FTR2 + NAV3 Siam -> Bay of Bengal 4-box

Naval Movement:

Italy:
SUB Brest -> Denmark Strait 1-box
SUB La Spezia -> Western Mediterranean 4-box

Japan:
2 CV Truk -> Tasman Sea 3-box
2 CP -> China Sea

Several sea areas for Axis to search in. Italy plan to search in the West Med after some other sea areas have been activated. No Axis air will be added there. Maybe Allies can decide beforehand if any air will be added to the West Med?

First search will be in Bay of Bengal. Any Allied air added?

Fly the fighter and bomber to 0 box in Bay of Bengal.

For West Med, just fly the swordfish to 0 box.

Impulse #8 (Axis)

Japan finds in the Bay of Bengal (5-7), and use all points to increase the odds that the naval bomber is cleared.

The Japanese FTR2 is aborted.

The CW FTR2 is destroyed.

The CW CP is destroyed. Japan stays in the area. Does CW stay?

yes

Nothing remains that can fight so onwards to SCS. (SUB stays out)

The Allied CP in SCS is sunk (3-5). There will now be a break for around one hour.
