No hit in Leningrad.

Impulse #4 (Axis)

The ground strikes in Spain are mostly a success.

Hitting the HQI would have been a truly nice bonus.

All in all a pretty good run.

There will now be a break. Not sure when I will continue.

First attack is against Saragossa. Will Spain selects, assault, or blitz?

Assault where my choice. I will be unavailable for the next hour and a half. Make best decision for me please.

The paradrop goes well, and puts the Spanish 3-3 INF OOS making that attack automatic.

Bilbao next.

Bilbao is captured.

The other, automatic, attacks.

There is a break while we wait for the Japanese rebases.
