Impulse #1 (Axis)

How will Allies proceed?

Am I right with following:

Naval air combat does nothing.

If I say no to naval air combat, we get surface combat. In surface, both get 2A, no side can boost or reduce damage.

If so, go with surface and place all possible A to CVL. Abort both ships to closest CW port.

Yep. That sounds correct.

Allies got the CVL aborted. (9 and 7 rolled)

And Italy got one SUB aborted. (9 and 3 rolled)

Italy stay. Will CW stay?

We stay.

Both sides find again. (Axis 2, Allies 1)

And the second Italian SUB is aborted.

Abort both ships to closest CW port.

The CW CVL aborted to Freetown. (Bathurst was fully stacked)

Italy aborts to Brest.

And now for the Red Sea.

Japan misses in the Red Sea. (Axis 7, Allies 2)

Next search is the Arabian Sea.

The naval searches end with a miss in the Azanian Sea. (Axis 7, Allies 5)

Need to confer with my Axis partner before proceeding.

No strategic bombing.

One German ground strike in the Arctic, and two Italian in France.

One Finnish LND2 ground strike the besieged defenders in Murmansk. USSR has two fighters available for interception. Finland has one FTR2, and Germany one FTR3 available for counter-interception.

Will the Soviet Union intercept the Finnish raid?

One Italian bomber ground strikes Marseilles, and the other attempts to disrupt the British spearhead, including the HQ of Field Marshal John Standish Surtees Prendergast Vereker, 6th Viscount Gort.

Germany has two FTR2, and one FTR3 that can reach the western stack, and two FTR2 that can reach Marseilles. Note that the FW 190A-1 in Nice is included for both ground strikes as it is the only fighter that can reach both hexes.

Allies has plenty of fighters, and one CVP1, that can reach both hexes.

Any Allied intercepts?

Fighter from both hex in France will protect their own hex.

In Marseilles only Spitfire IX is used.

Planes land back to where they started.

In USSR no intercept.

Germany counters with one FTR2 to each hex, and Axis begins both air combats at -1.

First air combat is hex 63,29.

Germany aborts their fighter after the bomber cleared.
