Impulse #9 (Axis)

Air Rebase:

Japan:

Italy fly two reorganization missions. CW can intercept the one in S France. I decline that for you as Italy has one FTR2 available.

Italy reorganize LND3 + NAV2 by air supply. No other reorganization.

Turn ends on a 3 (1-3 to end).

No partisans (garrison was checked in NEI - 8 rolled).

Over to Allies for SAS.

Losses for the turn.

Build one Lnd3 for France.

RTB:
JAPAN:
AMPH + GARR + CL (China Sea) -> Bismarck Sea

Intercept with SUB?

Place pilots in the Beaufighter nav and the best Fairey. Place the Beaufighter in Cardiff and the Fairey in Bristol. Place the CP in Capetown.

Place Eisenhower and the Thunderbolt in Norfolk. All naval reinforcements along with the Corsair in San Diego. Paratroopers in New York. Armor in Newark. Rest of the land reinforcements in Long Beach along with the Hudson.

Armor and Fighter in Kirov. 6-4 in Samarkand. Other corps in Murmansk.

If the Allies win the initiative, the Allies will move first. No reroll.

The intercept failed (9 rolled), and the force continue onwards to Rabaul.

Does the US SUB in the Bismark sea change US oil usage? They now have one more oil unit to organize.

Yes, it would. Do not reorganize that sub please.

Use Oil:

Germany:
All units, except 4 SCS, are reorganized for 3 oil (3,45).

Italy:
All units, except MOT Div, are reorganized for 2 oil (2,4).

Japan:
All units are reorganized for 4 oil (3,8).
