USA continue to transfer the Pacific Fleet to Hawaii.

CW sends two transporters from UK to Gibraltar where they unload one fighter and one naval bomber.

The liner sails from Australia, loaded with a militia, to Cape Basin.

The Dutch TRS in Malta sail for the Arabian Sea.

CW also send out plenty of convoy escorts.

A battleship fleet sail for the Bay of Biscay and another to Cape St Vincent.

HMS Furious and a couple of cruisers sail to the North Atlantic.

France send out a patrol in the East Med.

The Western Allies send out submarines to the West Med and the Italian Coast.

CW initiate combat in the West Med. No additional air added.

Will Germany, or Italy, reinforce the West Med with any air units?

Italy has even more air units they can use for reinforcing the West Med.

Edit: Replied before seeing Italian options. Italian Navs to 2-box, thanks.

Just want to verify that the Italian naval bomber in Italy and the Italian bomber in Spain are send to the 2-box in the West Med.

Thanks Orm, just the Nav in Italy, not the one in Spain.

The Italian forces finds the fumbling Allied ships. Which box(es) will be included?

Both boxes, thanks and Naval Air Combat.

How will the surprise points be applied?

And what will the first target be (if this can be decided now)?


Picture from Sep/Oct '40 Impulse #1 (Allied) - Naval Combat

I'm assuming the AA is NE. 2 points spent to increase damage to 2D, A, with the first D on the CP. If AA isn't NE, then the spare 2 points should do the trick.

One convoy point sunk and one cruiser damaged. Which ship will Italy assign the abort result?


Picture from Sep/Oct '40 Impulse #1 (Allied) - Naval Combat

It can go on the Edinburgh, thanks.

HMS Edinburgh got aborted. With only a damaged cruiser remaining CW decides to abort that as well.

Will the Italian forces stay in the sea area?


Picture from Sep/Oct '40 Impulse #1 (Allied) - Naval Combat

Yes thanks.

With the Allied submarines hiding from the Italian bombers the naval combat ends. (No searches in any other sea area)

Edit: HMS Edinburgh aborted to Tangier.

This ends the Allied actions for this evening since the hour is late. [:(]

Hi Gents

Sorry I have been off radar but things have been manic at work since returning from holiday - added to which I have picked up a rotten cold
[:(]

Thanks for holding the fort Ormster - I will try and get back into the fold by the end of the week/weekend at the latest.

Welcome back.

No strategic bombing. No Ground Strikes.

USSR rail one garrison to Persia.

In China the Communists use 4 land moves to reinforce their line. The defensive line south of Kunming is straightened.

CW rebase one FTR3 from Northern Spain to Tangier. One LND3 rebase from England to Spanish Morocco. And another LND3 rebase from England to Northern Spain.

No land combats. No reorganization.
