The Italian AA fire reduced the bomber strength by two.

Italy then reduced the result from one X to two D.

The first damage result is saved.

What target will Italy select for the second 'D'?

[AllenK]

CA Fiume, thanks.

[Orm]

One cruiser damaged and another aborted.

CW stay in the sea area. Does Italy stay as well?

[AllenK]

That could have been worse.

Italians declare their innings and head back to La Spezia, thanks.

CW decline to search in the North Sea.

No port strikes.

No strategic bombing.

[Orm]

Unfortunately there has been a break in communication between the Allies.

I am not sure if France or USSR has any ground strikes planned. So there will be some delay here before our impulse continues.

Since the hour is late I doubt it continues today.

[warspite1]

No ground strikes for the French. The Soviets send in two aircraft (the long range bomber and the 5-range that needs to double its range to reach Tehran.

Edit: They will both land from whence they came.

[Orm]

And I thought that I could sneak to bed early. [:D]

Soz - don't let me stop you. The impulse won't get finished tonight.

The Soviet ground strike is a complete failure. [:(]

The British ground strike went exactly as expected. [:D]

The British Army (less their commander - who is presently on a sunny soujorn in Liverpool) land in Holland.....

EDIT: Note this picture was taken at the end of the turn hence the rain in evidence.

I forgot to take a piccy of the Polish Front but suffice to say that the Poles are simply sitting tight (there was a potential attack on, but not worth the downside).

So lastly we have China, where the situation is less than ideal....

Ah, it would seem the Persian forces face a classical pincer movement.

The Cav will have to go in Tehran, thanks.

What a place to locate a capital. Open terrain when there's those lovely defensible mountains all around.

Well, yes. Where would you build a capital you actually wanted to live in?

I would choose a mountain where always rains surrounded by major rivers. Capture that!

Europe after Allied impulse 4.

I can see German disaster coming...
