Any planes to the Axis? German fighter or any of the three Italian planes can join.

No air here either. Thank you.

Japan will search in the Red Sea, if possible.

I will continue later tonight.

Japan can search in Red Sea.

Italy can search in East Med, Allies will not search there. Allies added one 7 factor FTR.

No search in the East Med.

Coral Sea Allies 7, Axis 3.

CW planes in box 4, US planes in box 3.

How do you play this?

Pick the 3-box only, and then avoid combat.

BoB: Allies 10, Axis 9. No combat.

Allies initiate combat in North Sea sending 3 planes to 0 box.

Any planes from the Axis and will subs join the combat?

No air to the North Sea. And the SUBs stay out of the action. Thank you.

For anyone reading this and wondering: CW is all the time short of air actions, I used this to make 3 rebase missions with a cost of oil.

Red Sea: Axis 8, Allies 3.

BB finds subs and captain orders to overrun them with full speed and all guns blazing!

I go with risk and not avoid combat. 2 points are used to decrease own damage to A and increase Axis damage to 2D A.

CW BB rolled 9 and was not aborted.

How Japanese want to place damage?

When naval combat is over, Allies will do two bombing missions.

Strategic bombing
B-17 vs Prague (cannot be intercepted)


Ground strike
B-26 vs 5-4 INF on mountains escorted by Hellcat from Marseilles

Axis can intercept with Italian and/or German fighter.

Allies have two fighters in range for counter intercept.
