Germany debark one MIL into Libya.

Jul/Aug '42
Impulse #7 (Axis)

Germany makes two land attacks.

1) Against the Canadian GARR in Karelia. One Finnish LND2 provides ground support.

2) Versus the Soviet infantry NE of Vitebsk (hex 43,54). 6th Pz Eng assists two German Korps to assault across the Dvina. Current odds is 41:11, or +9.46. One German FTR3 flies to the combat hex to deter any German bombers from trying to assist their ground forces. USSR has three bombers that can fly to try to pass the German fighter screen to provide defensive ground support. Will any Soviet bomber do so? Note that Germany has panzers in the attack and will select the combat table.

sorry for late, was exercising this morning then forgot about it. no fly.

Will the Canadian defenders select blitz, or assault?

Let’s try Blitz. Quite good odds to get R.

Indeed. And you got the retreat. [:)]

Germany select blitz on the central front.

The second German attack is a surprising success. [X(] [:)]

Due to somewhat unexpected combat results the Axis HQ needs to consult with the German HQ regarding reorganization.

ax roll 10, al 4

8 surp, pick sub combat, 4 to shift damage down to 1A v allies and 1A v axis

SUB saves with an 8 roll, cp is aborted. I sent to Dubrovnik since it can't base in Italy but if that is wrong just let me know and I can put it elsewhere. SUBs dive deep after 1st round.

Dubrovnik is perfect. Thank You.
