J/A 41 Axis 2

Japan DoW's the CW. The US is outraged (5 rolled, 3 chits to the Jap pool). In all the fuss, the Japanese alignment of Siam goes unnoticed (8 rolled).

Germany, land. Italy and Japan Combined, with Japan committing their O-chit to make it a Super-combined.

Italy sends a NAV to East Med 4-box and another to Cape St Vincent 4-box. The Germans send their He-100 to the CSV 2-box.

Japan sails a TRANS and AMPH loaded with Imp. Guards and Tokyo Mil to the South China Sea 3-box. The SNLF loads onto a Trans and goes to the 2-box. Both boxes are joined by 3 BB's. TRANS from China loads INF from Tokyo to China Sea 0-box. 2 CA's load 2 MAR Divs at Osaka and head to the Coral Sea 3-box. Subs sail to Cape Naturaliste 3 and 2-boxes and Bay of Bengal 1-box. 2 CA's to Southeast Indian Ocean 3-box. 2 CA's to Bay of Bengal 3-box. Plus a few escorts.

Italy sends a sub from La Spezia to CSV 2-box.

Areas for possible naval combat.

East Med.

The Italians add a fighter to the 1-box. CW could add Hurricane to 0-box and Whitley to the 1-box. Any takers?

East Med.

The Italians add a fighter to the 1-box. CW could add Hurricane to 0-box and Whitley to the 1-box. Any takers?

No, thank you.

Searches: Axis 4, Allies 4. Axis choose naval-air. The Allied AA fire is relatively ineffectual (4,6,2,1,2 - lowest 1 of 5). The Italians use 2 surprise points to boost the result to a D. They target the French BB but only do enough to send it back to port for a short refit.

Italians stay, how about the Allies?

Allies stay.

Searches: Axis 9, Allies 10. No combat.

Where would the BB Strasbourg like to head back to?

Beirut.

Italy declines the West Med.

Cape St Vincent.

The Italians initiate with the NAV in the 4-box and add a NAV to the 2 box. The Allies can commit up to 5 aircraft to the 1 box (Hurricane, Swordfish and Fairey) and 2-box (Harrow and F2A). Any this time?

F2A, Hurricane, and Swordfish, to the 0-box. Thank you.

The Italians commit their sub.

Searches: Axis 1, Allies 3. The Axis have 6 surprise points. 4 points are used to choose sub combat and 2 points to reduce losses.

Some accurate bombing sees the submarine limping back to port.

However, job done. Axis stay. Continue or abort?

Me like that! [&o]

Allies stay.

Searches: Axis 8, Allies 3. No combat. The sub aborts to Gibraltar.

Shifting hemisphere's, the Japanese sub in the Bay of Bengal starts searching and remains ready to join combat.

Searches: Both rolled 9's. No combat.

Combat is declined in China Sea and South China Sea.

Cape Naturaliste

The sub in the 2-box initiates. Searches: Axis 6, Allies 1. No combat.

Southeast Indian Ocean.

Searches: Axis 9, Allies 10. No combat.

Ground strikes

Italian artillery against Bayonne.

German Stukas, Bf-110's and artillery hit Tangiers.

Japanese artillery strikes the most forward Communist stack.

In Santander, the German gunners are on form.

The Italians continue with their "75mm, rounds, practice" ammunition.

The effort at Tangiers gets 2 out of 3.
