What will JP react?

[peskpesk]

Send Nav H8K2 to 4-Box and Nav D3A1 to 0-Box plz.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

After these naval combats Axis can initiate naval combat in North Sea if they want to. Allies have large force there as shown in text above.

Do Axis want to initiate?

[jjdenver]

Axis can also init in Timor Sea. Both sides have a cruiser. U.S. is in 3 box, JP in 2 box. U.S. will not search.

[peskpesk]

No search in Timor Sea or North Sea thx.

[jjdenver]

internet outage here, should be resolved in 1-3 days. I may buy a hotspot, if so I'll resolve, if not I'll resolve when it's fixed.

[jjdenver]

Both sides roll 2 in China Sea, Ax spends 4 surp to shift up damage. SUB suffers an X but saves with an 8 and flees the sz.

both sides miss at south china sea with rolls of 3 axis, 5 allies.

Italian submarines hunt for Allied shipping in CSV. Will Allies reinforce the sea area with any air? CW has one NAV4, and one NAV2, that reach the area. USA has 3 units that reach as well. See picture.

Allies suffers 1D, and 3A. How will the damage be applied?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

D on CP.

TRS seems to be empty. As many A to her as possible and abort to Norfolk.

Remaining A or 2xA to CPs and abort to some port in Azores in North Atlantic sea zone.

[Orm]

One CP sunk, and another aborted.
