Germany rebases two fighters in west and Stuka to Transylvania.

Back to Allies.

China after impulse 2

Europe, note fighters in NW and SW of Germany as we have house rule of en-route interception.

N/D 39 Allied 3

No DoW or alignments.

France naval, China land, rest combined.

Hurricane II to North Sea 1-box.

USSR move Trans from Odessa to Novorossysk.

US recovers 4 CP's and sends a Trans to China Sea 1-box to load MacArthur.

The Peder Skram sails into the North Sea. Do the Germans wish to intercept?

No thank you.

How about a loaded Trans from Liverpool (I expect there's a joke in there somewhere)?

Yes please with fighter. I want CW to play if they are comimg to Netherlands.

The Intercept fails on a 9 but the Trans stops in the 1-box anyway.

4 French CPs with 2 CA escort sail into West Med. Do the Italians want to intercept?

Yes please.

On a 9 the intercept fails. 2 CP stop in the sea zone and 2 go to East Med with the CA's.

Although 5 sea areas were available for combat, the Allies decline all but the Italain Coast. A French sub initiates combat. Do the Italians wish to add the Ftr at Genoa?

Can bomber fly from Albania to box 0?

If not, no planes are flying.

Bomber can't fly as it has an '*' naval factor.

The French commit subs. Predictably, the search fails (both roll a 6).

Do the Axis want a go in both zones?

Yes please, West Med first.

I'm afk for a while.

West Med and in typical fashion the Allies roll a 1 to the Axis 10 just when they can't use it.

North Sea

Equally typically, given the Allies could have used that 1:10 in the North Sea, the searches this time are Allies 5, Axis 3.

How do the Axis wish to spend surprise points?

2 points to decrease Hurricane A2A value. 2 points are saved to increase damage to D (on TRS).

The Hurricanes take down the He-115's.

Fight or flight?

To the end!

If aborted, to Kiel both planes and ships.

Blast, forgot to take the screenshot but rolls of Allies 7 and Axis 6 see both fighters aborted to Dover and Kiel respectively.

Round 2.

RAF sends another Hurricane group to the North Sea 1-box.

Searches: Axis 9, Allies 5. No combat.

Delhi Mil rails to Calcutta.

Another of the Siberian Inf makes it to Vilna.

The Communists move the Sian Mil back into Yenan, move the Inf in Yenan back towards Tianshui and Mao retreats a hex west from Sian.

USSR moves HQ and AA in the south back from the front.

The Nationalists rearrange their lines and abandon Ichang.

CW moves Manchester Mil to Liverpool and disembarks the Mech and Div to Rotterdam.

USSR rebases 3 bombers and a Ftr to slightly less exposed positions.

China rebaes a Ftr by a hex.

CW rebases Harrow to Plymouth, Swordfish to Hull, Blenheim to Newcastle.

France rebases fighter to Toulouse and bomber to Nice.

N/D 1939 Axis 4

No DoW.

Germany aligns Bulgaria (8 rolled, no reaction from US).

Italy combined, Germand and Japan land.

Italy sends CA and CP to West Med box 0.

Italy initiates combat in West Med. Does France want to send fighter (box 0-1) or bomber (box 0-2)?
