No planes.

Allied 5, Axis 2.

Axis find and use both points to increase damage to D 2A.

Submarine is damaged and aborted.


Over to USSR.

JF 42 i7 allies (continued):
ground strike:
none

rail:
CAV Kharkov -> Vologda
fact Yaroslavl -> Novosibirsk

land:
China withdraws 1 hex near Chengtu
SU maneuvers around Vologda and sets up attack along Dnieper

Attack along Dnieper after Zhukov commit is: 41.5:15 +4.1 before winterized bonus.
There should be +6 winterized bonus by my count (4 units across river halved + Zhukov using eng + 2 armies and 1 MTNDIV from west side of river).
Red Air is 1 bomber with 1 5 point FTR avail to counter from d-town.
Axis have many air options shown. There is 3-2 AA in the attack.

How will axis air fly?

Plz send


FTR2(Front fighter)
Lnd2 Ju 87B (Front bomber)
Italian Lnd3 Ju 88A1
Italian FTR2

All return start hex,

Round 1 goes to the allies. Both sides stay for round 2.

2nd round both miss - combat ends.

42 JF i7 (continued):
After the air combat goes the way of USSR with the JU-87B shot down (PIL survives), and a great AA roll (-1/5 lowest roll 5) aborts fully the Italian Ju-88, the Soviet assault goes in through the snow at +10.x. Fractional roll is 2 and the odds become +11A. To add insult to injury the great Soviet luck continues with a 20 roll for the combat. The Red Army pours across the Dnieper to occupy the hex while the Wermacht units ordered to defend in place form hedgehogs that are quickly isolated and destroyed.



air rebase:
SU Mig-1 39.57 -> 39.61
Mig-3 Smolensk -> 54.59
LND4 54.60 -> 44.56
CVP Gladiator from Plymouth to Southampton
LND3 Nagpur -> Hyderabad
US cvp1 San Diego unloads from CV into port

Turn continues with a 3 roll (1 needed to end)

See, this shows that WiF is an easy game. Just roll 20 on all your attacks! Simple, right? [;)]

Naval Search

Cape Verde Basin. Axis 7, Allied 3.
How does the allies want to handle this?

Can’t remember the box CW ship is. How many points do I get?

What I would like to know is maximum damage and one short of max.

I believe I get 5-7 surprise points and CW takes A.

If so, go with maximum damage to subs.

If CA is aborted sail to closest port.

CW goes for max damage on both subs.

CW escort goes home.

Italian subs go home damaged

Massive Axis Air Forces search for the Allies in North Sea.
Which FTR2 does CW want to send to the fight?

All fighters join.

6 factor 3 range as front fighter, followed by
6 factor 5 range
5 factor 3 range
5 factor 6 range

No Action in North Sea.
