The search failed round II, and the Axis search in CSV failed as well.

The Germans moved a CP into BOB. You may search there.

Germany rails the Marine to La Spezia. The Italian AA in Lille goes to Brest.

Japan continues their pullback in China and Manchuria. Germany advances units to the Transjordan/Iraq border.

Germany moves two bombers from Greece to Transjordan. Other fighters move to Northern Greece. Italy rebases the Alcione to Greece. Japan rebases their two bombers to near Port Arthur.

Turn ends. I have to go out for a few hours but will return and start the end of turn sequence then.

The Allies get a Chinese partisan, file sent for placement.

Place both markers on offense for Germany and move the best one to offense.
