Allies will go for some naval combats, West Med fist.

Does Axis want to send planes to West Med?

Problems loading pictures, I have to try again later.

EDIT: I get "ASP 500.100 Error". Anyone else having problems with posting pictures?

No one can post pictures at the moment. There is a couple of threads in the general forum about it. And in almost all the other game specific forums.

German FTR2 from Toulon will reinforce the 0-box.

Allies 10, Axis 3. No combat.

FF sub initiates on Italian Coast.

Allied sub is in box 1.

Axis CP in box 0 and 2x CA in box 3.

Any planes for Axis?

Yes, Axis will fly into the Italian coast.

Seems that pictures can be posted now.

Will edit this so it specifies what Axis will fly with after I opened the program.

Edit: The German NAV3 will reinforce the 0-box. Thank you.

No combat on Italian Coast (8 and 10 rolled).

Axis can initiate on North Sea they want to. How about?

Axis have both Italian and German NAVs in area if they want to send more units to fight.

We will search in the North Sea. No additional air. Thank you.

No combat (rolled 10 and 3).

US is sending 17 res to CW even if we did not want that. I was not able to cancel them from going to CW. If it remains that way we need to edit file.

42 SO i3 (allied):

Rail move
RSA TERR from Brisbane to Perth
USSR INF from Gomel to Mukden in Manchuria

Land move
CW GAR from Murmansk one hex east
CW HQ in Africa 1 hex

US units advance in Algeria to east

SU GAR near Murmansk moves in and flips (tough decisions around Murmansk for allied commanders)
Red Army units in Manchuria move closer to JP borders
Against the Germans there are some minor movements to toughen up the defensive positions west of Smolensk

Rebase
SU rebases 2 FTR and 1 LND4 toward Murmansk area as the situation there gets very tense
CW FTR2 (Hurricane IIC) from Portugal 69,14 to Algeria Algiers 74,27
CW Spitfire VB from Portugal 70,15 to Algeria Algiers 74,27
CW Spitfire VC from Portugal 68,15 to Gibraltar
CVP in Portugal from Hermes to Furious
US NAV2 Tonga -> Palmerston (southeast border of same sz)
US NAV2 Port Vila -> Norfolk (south about 10 hexes)
US FTR2 TRS 0 box Polynesia sz -> Tonga 134.212
US P-51B and Avenger to Gibraltar
Hellcat from New York to Newfoundland
Hellcat from Polynesia sz to Tonga island

To allied dismay the weather turns perfectly clear round the world. This is the weather we want in 44, not in 42.
