Germany plan to activate Faeroes Gap after the action in CSV has been resolved. CW has three air units (see picture) that can reach the 0-box. Will any of them fly?

Note: Germany has a three strength SUB in the 2-box in Bay of Biscay that might be activated later on.

No combat. Missed both in CSV (Axis 5, Allies 10), and in Faeroes Gap (both rolled 4).

Germany decline to search in BoB.

Due to the hostile press campaign in Greece and other provocations against Italy, the "Pact of Steel" issued an ultimatum to Greece demanding the cession of Greek territory, which the Prime Minister of Greece, Ioannis Metaxas, rejected. Sadly this means WAR!

Germany and Italy declares war on Greece.

The US press is angry (US Entry roll 4,2 and US Entry marker 325 picked)


1) Does CW or USSR or Free FR align Greece?

2) Where does the Greece forces go?

Germany place the first D on a CP and sinks it. How will Allies place the second D? And the two aborts if the D is placed on a CP?

The Greek cruiser is damaged. (didn't use the external die roller for the abort on the cruiser since the result didn't matter.)
