No combat in the East Med. (Allies 3, Axis 10)

Next up is the West Med. Will Italy add any air to the sea area?

No thanks

Allies find the Axis with a roll of 3, while the Axis just miss on a 2.

CW select naval air versus the 0-box only and increase the damage done to an A.

I'll abort the CP to LA Spezia.

CW stay. I assume Italy stay for another round.

Shout out if I was wrong and I will go back and change.

Yes, stay. La Spezia is good.

Neither side found in the West Med the 2nd time. (Allies 9, Axis 3)

Statistics so far

N/D 39 Axis 7

No DoW or alignments.

Land: Germany and Japan.
Combined: Italy.

Italy sends a CP to West Med. Combat is declined.

The Japanese bomb Chungking to good effect.

A ground strike against the Shanghai MIL is also attempted. The Chinese can intercept if they wish. No other Japanese fighters are in range to counter-intercept.

No intercept, thank you.

Chinese fighter pilots breathe a sigh of relief when news of the strike filters through.

Chinese fighter pilots breathe a sigh of relief when news of the strike filters through.

Sure they did. But they were even more relieved when they were told that there were not intercepting. [:D]

Rail movement

The 7-4 in Lodz and the 3-3 ART + the 6-4 in Danzig steam into Liege.

The Italians move two units out of Turin. The INF goes NW into France. The MOT, however, because of the weather, has to move SE to remain organised.

In the north of China, the Japanese play chase the partisan.

Whilst in the south they drift westwards.
