Naval move

US
BB from Belfast to CSV box 0
CA + MTN div from Norfolk to CSV

Axis subs can try to intercept CA if they want to.

Axis roll 3.

Allies try push forward and roll 8.

How will you proceed?

All 6 surprise points to increase the damage done. I think this will get one X on the CA.

Put any results on the SUBs on the German first. Then the Italian in the 3-box. German SUB aborts to Bordeaux, while Italian go to Brest. Axis stay.

CA sinks and German Sub is aborted.

Will Axis continue fight and commit subs?

Axis will stay, and SUBs will avoid combat. For now. Might reconsider after Allied naval combat. If that option is open.

Empty US AMPH from Gib to CSV.

Will Axis intercept?

Yes, plz.

On a 7 intercept fails and AMPH sails to USEC loading NY MIL.

Action will continue later tonight with possible naval combat and invasion.

Allies do not seek for naval combat.

Axis can initiate in CSV if they want to, how about?

No,thx

Over to JJ for USSR land moves.

Where will CW MAR invade? That remains secret until preliminary shore bombardment begins...

CW has been invading and fighting on land so much lately, that last naval action is about 2-3 turns ago (when they invaded Portugal).

42 ND (i7) allies cont:
USSR launches a "turn is going to end let's not waste it" ground strike by 4-3 ART in USSR near Vitebsk:

Rail move
USSR MOT div from D-town to Vatutin in Manchuria.


Land move
CW ART from Marseilles to 62,31 in mountains.

USSR
Shuffling in Manchuria and HQA moves south along with CAV.
Shuffling against Germany and set up an attack against the lucky ground strike hex.


Debark
CW MTN to Marseilles


Invasion
CW MAR invades Le Havre with maximum shore bombardment 12:1 (I included notional or it would be automatic).


Land combat
USSR attacks hex they hit during ground strike phase. Attacking HQ support is used.


Ground support
Allied send NAV3 to ground support invasion escorted by FTR2 from UK. FTR3 is in standby if Germany sends planes.

USSR sends one 6 factor FTR2 to cover attack in case Axis send bombers for ground support.


Axis have plenty of planes and one artillery to use in USSR. What do you want to use?

There is one more USSR FTR2 that can join the combat (3 east of attack).

In France Germany can send one LND and one FTR2 to invasion hex.

Note that FTR3 from UK can intercept.

Axis have plenty of planes and one artillery to use in USSR. What do you want to use?

Germany, and Italy, send 3 FTR2, and 3 LND2 in defensive support.

The 3 FTR2 are: 6 strength Bf 109F-2, Macchi C.200, 5 strength Bf 109E-2. (Listed in combat order)
The 3 LND2 are: Hs 123, 5 strength Ju87B, Ju 87G Rudel. (Listed in combat order)

First result on a Axis plane will be put on the Hs 123. Thereafter they will be put on fighters. Axis stay as long as they have any fighters remaining, and bombers to clear.
