Since no USSR planes could intervene, GE Send LND2 Ju 87r to southern combat hex (return 53,55 one hex SE) and LND3 Ju88A1 to Northern hex (return 48,53 one hex west of 4-4 MTN). Gar, Mot Div, loss order.

Ok, Zhukov will commit - I just realized that is before GS phase but I think you probably knew he was going to commit anyway. If you would have flown diff planes we can go back. AA will not fire in the attack in the south.

South combat, SU chose blitz with odds around +8 (I can't tell exact odds with winterized). Roll 12, result */B with attacker half flipped. SU flips INF,MOT,MTNDIV,HQA and does not advance into hex. Result sends the 3 defenders to reinforcement for next turn.

Combat north of Kiev SU will also call blitz.

North combat is more successful. SU will advance into the hex.

43 JF i7 (allies) cont:
SU rebases a FTR east in Manchuria
CW spitfire from Southern France to Northern France
CW Hurricane from Africa to Marseilles
FF FTR2 to Algeria
US FTR2 E Polynesia to Palmyra (south of Pearl)

free US cvp rebases:
cvp to brisbane, cvp to Enterprise
at Suva many rebases leaving 1 Essex class CV without any cvp's
at San Diego one cvp moves onto an Essex class CV

Turn continues with EOT roll of 4.

All is good. Except, of course, the evil dies does not do as they are told. [;)] [:D]

Dies inside

No wonder they won't help out when you won't use the plural "dice".

(I had to learn this the hard way back when some games would use d6 and 2d6, but refer to them just as "die roll" and "dice roll" in the rules. Or that other game that called them "dr" and "DR")

(Just teasing - and that I wanted some reason to just say thank you all for your hard work in playing and AARing this game.)

Glad someone is reading (and proof reading).

Jan/Feb '43
Impulse #9 (Axis)

Germany added one FTR3 to the 1-box.

USA can add one LND4 to the sea area. While CW has one FTR2 ready.

Will the Allies add any air to the North Sea?

Yes please, fly FTR2 to box 0.

No contact in the North Sea. Double eight rolled.

Jan/Feb '43
Impulse #9 (Axis)

Next up is the West Med. Axis decline to add any air.

Will the Allies add any?

NAV to box 2.

The Italians are blinded by the rain, and have no clue.

Meanwhile, the Allies ponder on how to proceed. (Axis 5, Allies 1)

Naval air combat, save all points to be used after air combat (AA/column changes).

Jan/Feb '43
Impulse #9 (Axis)

The Italian bomber, and its pilot, was shot down. (Allies 14, Axis 8)

How will Allies proceed?

That is some heavy AA. All points to decrease AA.

Axis AA show that their aim is as good as it usually is. (1,5,4,6) [:)]
