No defensive air. Thank you.

I said wrong, CW/US combined attack is +20. It was +19 during my test run, but I realized odds are better if I replace CW MIL (5) with US INF (6). Apparently I forgot to edit odds to text.

Land combat roll 13, Allies are in France!

Rebase
2x CW FTR2 from Africa to France.
CW FTR2 from Portugal to Gibraltar.
US FTR2 from Canada to Azores.
US FTR2 to Port Vila.

USSR FTR2 from Archangel towards Murmansk
USSR LND4 from Smolensk area close to Murmansk

Edit last post as I forgot our plan:
Only MAR enters Marseilles, INF div stays where it is.

USSR makes minor moves both in Manchuria and in German front.

Debark
CW HQ and MOT to France NW of Marseilles

Land combat
Allies attack mountain hex near Marseilles (24:8 = +5).
CW HQ provides HQ support (+2)

No ground support from Allies.

Axis can send planes, 4 Italians and one German fighter.

Allies can send fighters with following A2A factors (from France 5 and 5, from CV 4 and 2)

Do Axis send any planes?

Is it Assault?

Axis will send up the Italian LND3, and NAV3, for defensive ground support. All three FTR2 will escort. (All Axis aircraft will assist)

Axis remains as long they have bombers to clear. Axis will put defensive results on their own fighters.

Land surviving Axis aircraft as follows:
German FTR2 -> Turin
It 6-range FTR2 -> Turin
It 4-range FTR2 -> La Spezia
LND3 -> Toulouse
NAV3 -> Genoa

Axis selects assault.

Edit: Put the NAV3 as front bomber, and if possible, clear the LND3 first.

All Allied fighters intercept.

First round goes to the Axis

Allies strike back!

Third round

Air combat is over, all Axis bombers dropped they payload where they aimed.
