Yes, please.

CA+TRS carrying GAR moves from Adelaide into Cape Naturaliste - intercept by JP CA there on a 3 - so CA + TRS stop in 2 box
US CP,TRS(INF),BB,2xCA san diego -> Polynesia sz 0 box
US cp Pago -> NZC sz
US 2cp Norfolk -> USEC

US/CW decline all search possibilities (mostly subs in sz's). JP has 1 search possible:

Japan search in Cape Naturaliste.

42 MJ i11 (cont):
JP searches Cape Naturaliste ax 5 al 3 - both miss

CW Hampden strat bombs Toulon (BP's are there) 2+1 roll modified 6 (no effect)

SU 4-2 ART E of Kiev GS Kiev, flips only MIL

US INF rail Casablanca -> Algiers

Land moves:
Can TER moves into Tacoma and flips
Indian TER moves a hex E near Calcutta
SU moves a few units around

US MAR debarks in Casablanca

Land combats:
Realizing the end is nigh the natchi and chicom forces launch desperate counterattacks against the IJA. JP can choose combat table in all of these. The one not shown in picture is at Chihkiang.

Blitz on the +2.667 attack against hex 73,130, and assault on the two other attacks.

42 MJ i11 (cont):
All 3 Chinese attacks fail and all attackers are eliminated without any loss to defenders - there is no glory to be found at the end, only defeat.



CW FTR3 rebases into Algeria from the south

Turn continues with a 10 EOT roll.

No declarations of war.

Combined: Italy, Japan
Naval:

No port strikes. No naval air.

Naval Movement:

SUB (Brest) -> North Sea 3-box

Japan:
2 CP (Fukuoka) -> Bay of Bengal
CV (Truk) -> Cape Naturaliste 3-box

Several sea areas to search in. First up is the Norwegian Sea.

Both sides roll 1 in the Norwegian Sea.

The Dutch CA is aborted. There was no result on the Italian SUB.

Italy stay. Will CW stay as well? And what port will the Dutch CA seek?

And the next sea area for action will be the North Sea. Will CW reinforce the sea area with any air? (No air for Axis)

No air for axis in N Sea. CA will head to Liverpool (I understand the SUB in FG may try to intercept but CA will just fight through). CW will stay.

The CA decided to take the scenic, safe route, instead of risk a fight. -> Denmark Strait -> North Atlantic -> Bay of Biscay -> Liverpool [:)]

Edit: No additional fight in the Norwegian Sea. (Axis 6, Allies 9)

Thank god for Axis advisors being smarter than me.

I'm going out to the park with family for an hour or 2. So I may not be able to answer easily. Hopefully Petteri can answer.

The CP in the North Sea is sunk (Axis 3, Allies 10). Italy used 4 surprise points to make it a surface action and the remainder to increase damage.

It was actually the program that was smarter. It allowed for movement to Liverpool without interception. Took me a few seconds to figure out why and what route. [:D]

Have a nice parking. I suppose parking is a word, but I suppose it does not have this secondary meaning. [:D]

Edit: And it took me close to 30 min to recall that the SUB in Faeroes Gap was disorganized. [:(] [:D] [:D]

A guess that CW will stay in the North Sea. Italy stay and stay low with the SUB.

Next up is the West Med. Will CW reinforce with their naval bomber?

No thank you.

No combat in the West Med (Axis 9, Allies 2).

Next up is the Red Sea.
