The new weather roll was a 9, with rain in the Arctic and fine in the other weather zones.

Alas, not able to upload pictures at this point.

Two Italian battleships add 5 points in shore bombardment to the attack on Malta.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Will the Polish HQI provide defensive HQ support to the assault on Lodz? Current odds are 54:9 or 6:1. Germany can provide offensive HQ support with von Bock, and has 9 points available for possible ground support (within range of Lodz).
