Land Combat:

Japan makes two land attacks.

And in USSR Germany makes one attack with each Army Group (3 attacks).

The Soviet HQI (Koniev) can provide HQ support for the attack in the centre. Germany can also provide HQ support with their HQA (Rundstedt). Will USSR provide defensive HQ support?

Assault for both attacks.

[Orm]

China fly fighter and land it one hex west where it takes off.

As interceptor for the southern attack? Or as ground support for either?

Intercept.

[jjdenver]

In south: fly LND3, LND4, FTR2. RTB same hexes except LND3 to Kharkov.
Near Vitebsk fly FTR2, LND3. RTB FTR2 43,54, LND3 same hex.

Both places fly FTR until all bombers are decided. In north first Soviet choice goes vs SU FTR and bomber will abort home. Other choices we'll have to make when we see dice results.

Thanks.
