Land actions for Germany and Japan, combined for Italy

Naval Air:

FW 190 A2 to the two box of East Med. Gabby to 4 box of West Med. Erone to 2 box of East Med.

Naval Moves:

Italian task force of 4 ships moves into 4 box of West Med.

Searching here:
West Med first. Any additional Support?

I don't think you would fly any additional support here so will proceed.

Allies find 1-7 and destroy the CP in a surface action. Round II the Axis found again and avoided.

Now East Med. The Axis have the FW 190 A2 and Erone in 2 box. You have what is shown here plus the American Bono. I am unsure how you would play this one so will wait here for your decision.

Send FTR2 5str Rsa to 0-box, plz

Axis find 4-2, no points. Axis chose to make it a naval air.

Allies score DA, fighter chosen.

Axis score AC. Axis abort the air to air and the zone. Both the FW and Erone return to Sicily.

2 ground strikes in Eastern Poland. The artillery strike in the woods next to Lvov missed but the Stuka proved it's worth on the city itself.

The arillery strike on Chungking flipped both corps.

Have to take a break here for a bit

Land Move Summary:

Germany shuffles units in Northeastern Poland. They do advance units along the river in an attempt to fland the Russian position and advance on Minsk. They prepare for two attacks in the center and Rumania. One assault on Lvov and the other on Chisenau. In Algeria the 9-4 takes up position in the mountains next to the Algerian territorial.

Italy moves one unit next to Algiers and Balbo one hex west.

The Japanese fall back in the North closing in on the Russian Cavalry in Manchuria. In the Center they move some units west to help the supply line to the Chungking area and other units move south along the rail line into the North Monsoon weather region. They advance their marines into the mountains next to Batavia while debarking three units in Telok Betong in preparation for an assault.

Several attacks you can support. The one below in China the Reisen is flying to attempt to prevent air support for the attack.
You can support these two attacks. The SU and fighter can reach both. The Sturm only the attack on Chisenau.

I should have mentioned each attack in Russia can be intercepted by a 6 strength fighter if you chose to support them.
