US
P-39L from Azores to 76,14 Morocco
P-51D from Newfoundland to Azores 73,0
2x P-47D from Boston to Newfoundland 54,337

Reorg
CW reorg Beaufighter in southern France

Overall situation in north France is quite tense, and the same in Manchuria as the USSR supply line is very fragile and hard to maintain. Allied high command fears Euro Axis air which unlike the real war in late 1943 has extremely strong airpower, overmatching the Soviets easily, and also stronger currently than the Western Allies in France and the Med.

Here is the situation in Manchuria where the combination of ATR and fast moving units still threatens the rail line near Chita, Japanese units from Korea threaten Changchun, and Japanese naval superiority allows Japan to land easily in many places. Allied focus on Europe and terrible USE has made the US anemic in this game and slow to build up in Pacific. When the US was finally able to launch an invasion a 2 roll destroyed the Marines. Complete Japanese conquest of China has freed up the entire IJA to create havoc. Finally some more air and land units are nearing the front line in the Pacific but it remains to be seen whether progress can be made.

4 box only and air combat, thank you. When I see air combat odds I call how to use points.

All possible planes fly as fighters.

EDIT: 6 factor Thunderbolt in front, followed by all 7 factor fighters.

Can there be any other than +9/-9, and saving the remaining to eliminate damage if the bomber clears?

Axis stay for a new search. Will Allies stay as well?

6 factor Thunderbolt in front, followed by all 7 factor fighters.

It seems to be +9/-8 as default.

I would like to use points to make it +9/-9, but save 2 points in case bomber makes it after all. +9 is more important than -9.

The Italian bomber survived round one, and then aborts the air combat.

No change in forces. So continue with the assumption that no air is added.

Axis do finally find. (Axis 4, Allies 9).

However, not liking the air odds when no Axis fighters are included...

... so Axis selects the 1-box only and makes it a submarine action.

Axis stay for another search. And so does the Allies, I presume.
