Thanks - 3 GS were mentioned but I think I only see 2: Vitebsk and hex E of Vitebsk. What's the 3rd?

My bad. Only two ground strikes. Meant to write that it was three bombers...

Thanks please send Kittyhawk to Vitebsk, Lagg-3 to Yeremenko. Both can return whence but I can't answer easily in advance about who to target with Kittyhawk since I don't know how many German fighters will be involved. For the Lagg-3 first target is the Alcione.

Impulse #3 (Axis)

Germany sends one 6 strength FTR2 to support the bombers attacking at Vitebsk. The Alcione has to manage on its own. First air combat is in hex 44,55.

The Italian bomber is cleared.

Next air combat.

The German bomber is aborted.

A second air combat round begins...

... and the Italian bomber is cleared.

Impulse #3 (Axis)

Will USSR use their AA in support of Yeremenko?

Yes please fire the AA ty.

The Italian Alcione encounters AA fire.

Two units hit in Vitebsk.

And no units hit east of Vitebsk. That AA unit apparently knew what it was doing. [:)]

Western Allied figure out, that Portugal is major player in this war and they are on Axis side. So US, CW and FF declare war on Portugal. Portugal aligns with Japan, places ships to East Timor and land units to capital.

A pity the evil empire of the Allies don’t have to worry about Japanese troops now landing in Goa.
