Italy can initiate combat in two sea areas. Cape St Vincent, and the Red Sea.

CSV is first up and the Italian submarine initiates combat there. CW has tree aircraft that can react into the sea area. All three reach the 1-box. Will CW reinforce CSV with any air?

Italy put the 'X' on the TRS.

Edit: Wrong picture.

The British TRS is sunk.

With the TRS sunk the 'D' is automatically put on the CP, and it is sunk as well.

The second attack is against the 2nd Tank Army (Mechanized), in the Kiev area.

Guderian provides HQ support for the first attack.

A FW 190A-1 (FTR2) provide air cover over the second battlefield.

USSR has 3 aircraft that reach the MECH outside Kiev. One FTR2, one LND3, and one LND4. Will any of them fly air support. Germany has one 7 strength FTR2 committed. No additional Axis air can be added.

Note that Germany select combat table for both attacks.

All USSR planes fly, LND3 is front bomber.

The Soviet heavy bombers clear and give support to the 22nd Tank Army. But the medium bombers paid for it.
