ATR3 to box 0.

In North Atlantic NAV4 will fly. If there is no CV in box 0, then there. If CV is in box 0, then as high box as possible.

I will now run a couple of errands in the rain, eat some lunch, and then resume the action.

CW find the Italian SUBs in the Faeroes Gap. (Axis 7, Allies 1)

How will CW proceed?

Air combat, maximum damage to subs.

2D + 1A on the SUBs that save against all the damage. 2 SUBs are aborted. [X(]

Italy remain in the sea area, but refuse to risk further combat.

Edit: The two SUBs return to Bordeaux.

An enquiry will examine the facts of the Italian submariners lack of skill, and their cowardice in the face of the enemy.

Axis finds in the North Atlantic and gets 5 surprise points. 4 of them is spent on selecting combat type. (Axis 2, Allies 5)

Axis select surface combat. Which target will get the 'D' result?

Edit: if not too late, target to CA. If aborted, to Halifax.

CW stay.

The British cruiser is damaged (5 rolled). No result on the Axis U-boats. Both sides stay.

Axis U-boats finds again. (Axis 1, Allies 3)

And same procedure as last round. Axis spend their surprise points in making it a surface combat. And CW has the pleasure of selecting a target for the 'damage' result.

Belgian CP, thank you.

The Belgian CP is sunk. No effect on the Axis SUBs.

Axis stay. I am assuming CW stay. So a third search commences.

Both sides miss the third search in the North Atlantic. (Axis 10, Allies 5)

In the Central Atlantic the Allied cruiser finds the German U-boat. (Axis 6, Allies 2).

Allies has 5 surprise points, and that equals 1 'D' on the SUB if all points are used to increase damage done.

Sounds good, go for it.

CW stay.

The German SUB is damaged on a 6, and retreats.

Final search is in Cape Verde Basin, and neither side finds. (Axis 10, Allies 9)

Japan strat bombs Chungking.

Edit: For no effect. 6 rolled.
