Five rounds of air combat sees both fighters aborted but the Lancasters cleared through.

Their bomb-aimers are on the money.

Soviets send TB-3 escorted by Yak-1 to strike Guderian. Germans can intercept with 2 6 point Me 109's. One or both?

Both please and land same hexes they started. South as primary hex.

The '109's make short work of the escorting fighters, forcing the bombers to make a run for it.

UK rails an Inf to Chittagong.

Soviets rail 2 Infs from Manchuria towards the West.

They do what they can with their dwindling forces in the south.

CW takes Addis Ababa and continues the advance in Eritrea.

Chinese Nationalists continue heading south. The Communists form up around Mao in Manchuria.

CW swaps a couple of Spitfires around. USSR rebases 2 Lnd towards the Urals.

No reorgs.

Weather.

Brian: Cutting that rail line may not happen in a '42 Barb. A '42 Barb is a valid Axis strategy. If the Germans cant make it there in a '41 Barb, I agree.

S/O 41 Axis 7

No DoW

Germany land, Italy and Japan combined.

Italy sends remaining ships (3x BB and a CL) to West Med box 4.

Japanese Transporter to South China Sea box 0 loaded with MIL from Manila.

Japanese CA enters Bay of Bengal (it can move 1 more sea area). Do CW want to intercept?

Yes please.

Intercept fails on a 8, CA moves on to Arabian Sea box 1.

Few sea areas are declined, naval combat in 3 sea areas.

West Med: Axis 2, Allies 10.

Axis include all enemy ships to combat, Free France will get a lesson... Surface combat is chosen.

Axis use points both to increase and decrease damage. 3 points are left to choose one target.

Allies can place X, who takes it?

I'll place the X on the CP, thanks.

Who takes first D?

The 1-factor CL.

Only aborts for French ships. Do they abort to Oran?

Italian BB Vittorio Veneto takes A and rolls 8 = 1/2 abort.

As many to Algiers as will go, then Oran, thanks.

Arabian Sea: Axis 3, Allies 5.

All points are used to increase damage. Where do CP's abort?

Aden would be good, thanks.
