Axis initiates combat in Italian Coast (dis org that ship) and West Med (dis org CA Duca D'aosta). No additional planed needed.

For a laugh, the Soviets send a bomber to the China Sea 3-box.

The Japanese have an even bigger laugh as the Soviets realise the Land option chosen means they can't do anything with it this impulse [&:].

The East Med combat ends as the Italians bug out back to La Spezia.

West Med

Searches Axis 3, Allies 1. Both sides find each other. Allies use their 2 points to increase damage from NE to 2A. They take a D in return.

The French CL emerges from a hail of gunfire relatively unscathed but the experience is enough for the skipper, who heads back to port.

It seems logical to put the first A on the weaker and disorganised Italian CA. It survives this, so I put the second one on it as well to guarantee leaving an organised CA in the sea zone. Hope this was okay. The alternative would have been gambling on the 2nd CA also making the save to leave both at 1/2 A. As it happens, it wouldn't have done.

Edit: Duplicate.

Do the Italians wish to continue?

Yes please

Japs are laughing.

Next impulse all transporters will move away and then they initiate naval combat. No naval combat during Allied impulse, thank you [;)]

Round 2: Searches Axis 8, Allies 2. No combat.

Italian Coast: Searches Axis 1, Allies 8. Air combat chosen and all 10 surprise points used to increase damage to X, 2D.

The Condors make short work of the Yugoslavian navy.

Axis stay [:)]

Soviets rail a factory from Perm to Stalinsk. Yeremenko rails to the marsh NE of Batum.

Nationalists continue moving south in China. CW moves a Mot and Mil into Eritrea. Communists take the vacated Port Arthur with an Inf Div, while the rest continue towards Korea.

At the cost of a disorganised Inf, the Soviets get supply flowing to the units on the Southern Front.

Edit: No reorgs or rebases.

I think I can put them back to OOS by moving 6-3 INF to hex north east of HQ in swamp. USSR 5-3 INF don't have zoc because of the mountains.

J/A 41 Axis 6

No DoW

Germany land, Japan naval and Italy combined

Japan sends lots of ships to China Sea and transporters in box 0 sails to ports safe from incoming naval combat.

Axis declines combat in West Med but are willing to fight in two other sea areas.

North Atlantic: Axis 3, Allies 6. Only box 0 is included.

Italy uses 4 points to choose submarine combat.

Italian submarines are aborted. Risking better submarine pays off!

Allied damage.

Aborted CP goes to Liverpool.

In China Sea Japan sends FTR to box 0.

Axis 10, Allies 10. Weather is fine and both sides are pretty sure they saw water, sky and Sun...

Germany swaps units in Leningrad and Netherlands using rail movement. ARM div is railed to France.

4 land combats are declared in southern front.

Germany chooses blitz table in 3 combats. Do USSR choose Assault in this combat?

I continue tomorrow.

I had to do German land moves three times. Two times I miss clicked and disorganized unit and I was not able to undo that move. So I used "undo all", twice. On third time I saved game after every 10 moves [:)]

Yes, but which direction was the water? Up or down? [:)]
