German artillery opens up on Gibraltar, while in the north of Spain, the Italians test their latest batch of ammo to see if they've used the last of the practice rounds.

Well, a few appeared to actually explode somewhere in the vicinity of the target.

The Germans mostly scare the fishes.

Japan rails Seoul Mil to Yamamoto.

Germany rails MECH and AT gun from Seville to Lodz and AA gun fro Lille to Seville.

Italy move HQ and Inf Div westwards in Spain.

Berlin Mil and Mot Eng move from Germany eastwards.

Spain post Axis moves.

Japan moves a couple of units in the north of China and debarks an Inf at Swatow.

Germany rebases Me-109 in Spain to NW of Gib.

Italy rebases Atr to Almeria.

Italian and German Atr's fly a reorg mission to the Italian Nav in Spain. Do the CW wish to intercept?

Is there another reorg step after the air reorg?

If there are other reorg steps, do you have other reorg capability in the area?

Yes, HQ reorg and yes, von Bock.

That is a no on intercept.

The Atr's deliver 2 points of re-supply between them and von Bock adds the other 2. The German 150mm is also reorganised.

Back to Allies.

Edit: Since Warspite1 arrived there might be some action this evening.

6 point Bf109 intercepts and lands same hex it takes off. 4 point Bf109 in target hex is not flying.

CW does not send up any fighters. Axis rolls 11 and the bomber clears. Allies rolls 17 and aborts the fighter. Unfortunately I messed up the screenshot.

Edit: Fortunately I got another opportunity after the fighter had landed. [:)]

That throw notwithstanding, you gotta love this aircraft [;)]

Sorry for lack of play. Once again, BT's super-reliable, super-fast broadband means my only internet access is on my phone.

Okay - keep up posted.... assuming BT allows you to.... [&:]
