I was wondering why don't you fly to Germany. You have that nasty night fighter in stand by...

The bombers clears.

The RAF remains. Will Germany abort, and if so, to what hex?

German fighter aborts, this dogfight is not fair.

Plane lands back to same hex it started (with 5-3 INF).

Good night!

Not that nasty. Lousy feels more on the mark at the moment.

Good night!

Good night.

The British bombers manage to hit the industrial area in Lille.

USSR rebase a FTR2 from Leningrad to Vitebsk. The LND4 in Novgorod to Bryansk. the LND3 in Crimea to Gomel and the LND4 in Gomel to Kursk.

CW rebase the Blenheim bomber in Morocco to Northern Spain. CW also rebase the LND3 on Malta to Egypt.

Whenever there are active units around the Russian border with the Baltic States, I like saying "Wheat-a-bisk" = Vitebsk (I think is the right sounds, at least). Makes me hungry.

Then there's Novgorod, which just makes me want to play SPI's "War of the Ring" instead, in command of the Dwarfish pieces from the Lonely Mountain. Someone needs to make a game for the Wars of the Jewels, in Beleriand. Could make a nice combination event card & counters+hexes & Hero character game.

And when decisions are made about Bryansk for either side and I could pick, say, a 6 factor unit or a 7 factor unit to be involved in combat for that city, I will pick the 7 factor unit every time.

Bay of Biscay: Hungarian FTR to box 1, Italian FTR and German FTR3 to box 2.

Does CW planes want to join the combat?

Does CW planes want to join the combat?

Yes. The Spitfire, Hurricane, and the Skua, join the forces in the 0-box.

Axis 4, Allied 7.

Hungarian fighter is not involved, so I don't feel lucky enough to fight with CW fighters. Boxes 4 and 1 are selected.

I missed the picture.

Axis used 2 points to increase damage up to D 3A.

CA Sussex in box 4 saved D (10 rolled). Other CA in box 1 received 3A and was aborted too.

Axis stay, how about Allies?

CW stay.

Axis 9, Allied 3.

Avoid combat or something else?

Where does those two CA's abort to?

Avoid combat and the ships abort to Liverpool.

Does CW want to fly their bomber to East Med?
