Will USSR include the notional, or not.

Edit: Hex 46,54 is the only Axis attack. Germany will be selecting combat table.

Germany will add one LND 3 in ground support.

The Soviet Union has 3 bombers that can provide defensive ground support, and one fighter that can provide escort to the bombers.

Axis has two FTR2, and one FTR3, available for counter-interception.

Will USSR fly any air?

After much discussion on whatsapp about how nationals work and whether odds displayed are including +1 for notional it looks like Peter has sorted it out for us so thank you. I used to know these things but it's been too long since I resolved an MWIF combat with nationals that I had to think about very much.

His guess of how odds are working is:
Notional(55/12): 9,16 + 1 disorg, + 1 para -2 weather.
No notional(55/10): 11 + 1 para -2 weather

Given this understanding SU will choose to include the notional and fly I-153 and SB-2RK. Return I-153 to Smolensk and SB-2K to Gomel if they survive. If Allies get a result in A2A and Soviet bomber is still around choose result vs Axis FTR if only 1 FTR is in combat. If other situation Petteri or I can choose. Thanks.

Germany adds one FTR2.

Will USSR abort the bomber, or the fighter?

fighter please. thanks.

Final odds. Germany selects blitz.

Forgot to post how the air combat ended. Germany aborted after the first round.

Germany take the combat hex. No losses to either side.
