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

S/O 40 Axis 2

No DoW or alignments.

Germany Land. Italy and Japan Combined.

Italian Re.2000 flies to Cape St Vincent 2-box.

The reconstituted Tokyo Mil sails to Hanoi. Italian sub heads for Cape St Vincent 2-box.

2 areas for naval combat.

First up, Cape St Vincent.

The Re.2000 begins searching while the Germans and Italians each fly a Nav to the 2-box.

A substantial portion of the RAF, plus their Spanish allies are available for defence. Anybody taking to the skies?

CW send the Spitfire I (5 strength FTR2) and the Swordfish (Nav2) to the 0-box.

Swordfish with Spitfires escorting scramble to the defence of the convoys.

The Italian sub skipper decides to stay deep.

Searches: Axis 1, Allies 4. The Axis planes locate the Allied scouting cruisers. 2 surprise points decrease their AA fire to NE. The two cruisers are aborted (note, I didn't use the die roller programme for the A results as 3 A's meant it was unnecessary).

Round 2.

Guessing the Allies aren't likely to retire at this stage and won't commit any more air, we get to searches. Rolls of Axis 5 and Allies 8 end proceedings. Where do the French and Spanish cruisers abort to?

The Spanish cruiser go to Spanish Sahara. The Fresh cruiser go to Canary Islands.

Combat declined in West Med.

Japanese artillery opens up on two stacks of Communist units while 2 bombers target the Sian Mil east of Yenan.

German 150mm's open up on Spanish troops sheltering in the mountains.

The Italian artillery captain is dismayed when they unpack the ammunition to find it stamped "75mm, gun salute, for ceremonial use only". They fire it off anyway to at least make some noise.

The German artillery is a different matter, however.

Nearly!

The Japanese 70mm's discover they've been sent a similar ammunition consignment to that of the Italians.

To be fair it would have been a miracle if the Japanese had succeeded - there is nothing east of Yenan - at least not of a ChiComm persuasion [;)]

As have their 105mm's [:(].

Geography was never a strong subject of mine [8|].

I am glad that there are no exchange program between the German, Italian, and Japanese Artillery Shooting Schools. [;)]

Germany rails MIL from Berlin to Seville and MIL from Copenhagen to Saragossa.

Japan makes some adjustments at the front.

German land moves and attacks will follow later tonigh.
