Any chance that you will complete the impulse this evening? I had hoped to begin our impulse before retiring for the night.

Yes, I wait like 10 minutes if AllenK comes online and then end impulse.

Final result

Italy rebases fighter in Sicily few hexes.

Japanese HQ reorganizes INF and MAR after failed attack.

German ARM HQ reorganizes 2x artillery and Stuka in Spain.

Back to Allies.

No declarations of war.

Land: China
Combined: USSR, USA
Naval: France, CW

No Port Strikes.

CW send out a FTR3 to the 3-box in West Med.

A British transporter load a lot of Spitfires and set course on Cape St Vincent. It is escorted by HMS Valiant. Will Axis try to intercept?

Edit: The TRS sailed from Liverpool.

Yes, German fighter will intercept.

The interception is a success with a die roll of 4. The British naval force stay in the 0-box.

Another TRS, loaded with Hurricanes, sail from London towards Cape St Vincent. A cruiser escorts.

Same procedure as last time - Germany intercepts?

With those instructions I think I can manage. Have a good night.

Naval combat searches are planned for later anyway. [:)]

The Axis interception attempts in Cape St Vincent is impeccable. Yet another success, this time with a die roll of 2.

Allies send out convoy points to the Western and Eastern Mediterranean.

A TRS sail with a garrison from India to the Bay of Bengal.

A few convoy points (4) are sent out to strengthen the convoy line between USA and Libreville.

Plenty of convoy escorts are sent out.

The Allied battlefleets concentrate on the Bay of Biscay, Cape St Vincent, and Western Mediterranean. Loaded, as well as unloaded, carriers are sent to Cape St Vincent.

USA send some of their merchant fleet from the West Coast towards the East Coast.

The Allies have no interesting in initiating combat. The admirals, captains and commodores have one thing on their minds and one thing only... no not that you smutty individuals.... safety of their convoys.

I suspect the situation is different for the Axis. Do the Axis wish to initiate combat in the Western Mediterranean and Cape St Vincent sea zones?

German fighters in both sea areas will initiate. St. Vincent first please.

Cape St Vincent

The British bring in no aircraft. What do the Germans want to do? They have a Me-109 and Me-110?

No additional air, thank you.

Axis 1
Allies 6

Which sections does the Axis want to include?

Can you please post a picture where I can see what planes are in each box and how much AA fire you have in each box?

4-box - 1st Battlecruiser Squadron
CV - Glorious (Swordfish), Ark Royal (Gladator)
BC - Hood (Flagship Admiral Phillips), Repulse
CL – Edinburgh

3-box – Convoy Distant Escort
CV - Eagle (Nimrod)
BB - Nelson (Flagship Vice-Admiral Syfret), Revenge
CA – Birmingham, Colbert (F), Dupleix (F), Canarias (Esp)

Thanks. I choose boxes 3 and 4.

Italian NAV is front bomber, followed by NAV3 and NAV 4.

How many surprise points do we have?
