Brussels can fail once again. ART is organized and CW has bomber and fighter for ground support (at least if Germany sends remaining planes for ground support).

It'll have to be the Battle, we need the Harrow for reorg purposes if possible.

Yes, Battle. Equally important is if fighter can abort good bomber.

Here's hoping

Start praying to the god of the dice...

Failed attack and bad weather for the rest of the turn...

CW has artillery, fighter and bomber. Bomber will not do much, Germany has AA gun attacking. Most likely attack is 3:1, in that case attack has 40% chance to fail. 4:1 has 20% chance to fail.

If all German planes gets through and Battle is aborted, attack will be 3,4:1.

Go RAF!

If the AA unit fires to ward off the bombers, thereby getting disorganised, does it still participate in the attack?

Yes it does. But it was good decision to send bomber as fighter could not intercept.

If Battle gets through and AA gun rolls 1, things are better than well.

I thought the Italian MTN and German INF in Sardinia would be attacking the CW INF Div. Looks like I might be able to pull it out next impulse but I'm tempted to leave it in place as with a point of shore bombardment there are pretty good odds for causing at least 1 loss if they do attack.

If you choose to leave, send ship to low bow so that is can return to Belgium/France.

Not a bad idea, although I would need to put a CP in West Med to stop it disorganising when it loads. It's OOS at the moment and would remain so for the rest of the turn in which ever port in France it made.

The CW have done what they can to resist (at considerable loss) the Axis onslaught through Belgium. For the time being they will continue to hold Antwerp as a thorn in the Axis side but defending and, hopefully, extracting valuable units such as Gort will be the strategic priorities.

Extract Gort only if you can't put CW units in France anymore. Take a good look at the German positions. Where are the German TRS and the AMPH? If they aren't in Kiel or when they haven't any corps sitting on them, try to put another two units from the UK into France.

Gort is expendable, I'm afraid. The longer the CW stays in the Calais-Boulogne area, the better it is for France. Uncle Joe will appreciate this a lot.

Awesome weather for you guys! Just what you needed! Keep CW reinforcing France/Belgium.

Gort is disorganised so won't be going anywhere this turn. I'll need to bring a unit over to sit with the HQ as some protection. That would leave 1 unit in U.K.

I don't think Germany can attack UK yet.

Can CW bring MECH to Belgium and move it to sama hex with Belgian MIL? If they can, France takes naval.

Sounds like a plan. I think I will pull the INF Div from Sardinia and bring it back to UK. MIL can also go to France then.
