Yugoslavia is conquered. I messed up there. I thought holding a city would prevent that. Oh well .

I thought you did this in purpose: Prevent Germany to attack CW units during J/A with the cost of Yugoslavia. I calculated I had near automatic odds to take one city per impulse if you would have placed units to factory cities.

An entirely logical conclusion based upon the assumption I knew what I was doing. Unfortunately ......

S/O 41 Axis 1

Japan declares war on US and CW. Japan had only 2 saved oil points left...

US entry chit rolls will be posted later today.

Where do US place their reserves? MIL units in Washington DC and LA. LA MIL is places in this picture to hex south east of LA and can me moved to other hex if wanted.

[AllenK]

Mils are good. Mar to San Francisco, Mot to Seattle, thanks.

I thought the US didn't do their 2nd gear up yet?

[AllenK]

Not yet, although I think it will now!

[Barbuesque]

Most likely

I was pointing it out because until then, the US have a +3 to their DoW roll - so it seems to me like it's premature.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

US gets 8 chits (DoW on CW=1, DoW on US=4)

Several entry options takes place and 6 chits are moved to tension pool.

Germany land, Italy naval, Japan uses O-chit for super combined.

Axis see juicy target in Malta: 4 CV's with no air cover. FW condor attacks.

I believe CW don't want to commit subs to port attack?

Edit: Committing subs would take CW to next column.

[AllenK]

No thanks.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Both rolled 3.

Target is juicy, but it bites back! How do you use your points. Increasing AA fire gives you highest of 1.

[AllenK]

Go with that. A 10 would be handy.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

AA fire: 9. That was close... FW Condor is aborted to La Spezia.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany sends He100 to West Med box 2 and FW190 to Italian Coast box 2.

Italy sends subs to Cape Verde Basin box 2, North Atlantic box 2 and Cape St. Vincent box 2.

Italian ships sails to Mediterranean.
East Med: 3x CA and a CL to box 3.
West Med: CA to box 2 and CL to box 4.
Italian Coast: CP and CA to box 0, CA to box 2.

Japanese naval move is... How would I say... Well, almost all ships sails to seas. After naval move Japs have following ships in seas.
Sea of Japan: CP, CL and CA
China Sea: 6xCP, 7xCL, 3xBB, 2xAMPH and Trans. Land units MAR, MIL, INF and ENG.
South China Sea: 6xCP, 4xCA, 2xCL, 6xBB and Trans. Land units MAR and 4x INF div.
Bismarck Sea: CP, CL and CA. INF div.
The Marians: CP, Trans and 2xCL. INF HQ.
Hawaiian Islands: CVL, 2xCV, Sub and CL.
Central Pacific: CL and INF div.
The Marhalls: CV, 2xCA, CL. MAR div.
Christmas Islands: Sub, CV and CA.
There are also some 10-15 sea areas where CA's and CL's are hunting CW and US CP's.

18 sea areas are available for naval combat. Axis try to find enemy in every sea area.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Bering Sea: Axis 8, Allies 6. No combat.
Gulf of Alaska: Axis 2, Allies 1. Japanese CA sinks US CP.
Red Sea: Axis 9, Allies 5. No combat.
Arabian Sea: Axis 10, Allies 5. No combat.

Southwest Indian Ocean: Axis 9, Allies 10. No combat.
Mendocino: Axis 10, Allies 2. No combat.
West Coast: Axis 6, Allies 9. No combat.

This will continue tomorrow.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

When naval combat continues, do CW want to fly NAV from Gibraltar to Cape St. Vincent?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Hawaiian Islands: Axis 6, Allies 3. No combat.
Polynesia: Axis 2, Allies 6. Japanese CA and sub sinks US CP.
Christmas Island: Axis 6, Allies 10. No combat.

Japan failed to put Honolulu out of supply.

East Med: Axis 7, Allies 1. How do you want to play this?

Edit: If you don't want to avoid combat and you use all points to cause maximum damage CW takes D 2A and Italy takes 2D A.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Cape Verde Basin: Axis 10, Allies 9. No combat.
North Atlantic: Axis 9, Allies 10. No combat.
