Impulse #7 (Axis)

And both sides find. (Axis 4, Allies 3)

This has been dragging on a bit longer than anticipated. I will break for the evening and continue this tomorrow. Hopefully in the morning.

EDITED

Air combat.

6 factor Thunderbolt to front, just in case you roll really well. Followed by 7 factor Thunderbolt and other good planes. Odds should be +8/-8

OK, good night. No matter how this round ends, Allies stay.

S/O 1943 Allied 9

CW and US combined, FF air and USSR land


Port attack

La Spezia with CW NAV3 and US CVP as a bomber

Axis 8, Allies 9.

How will Axis use their 3 points? Make AA lowest of 2 or save to lower by one column (I didn't come up with any other options)?

Axis could use the 3 points to select the first target instead of Allies, thus getting the first two choices for any effects.

Correct! And that can actually mean something, if results is X and something in addition.

No points used for AA.

AA is accurate (5, 9, 10)

Final result in D.

Axis can either choose target for D and lower damage to A which Allies choose.

We take the 'A' and let Allies select the target. We feel generous now that we rolled fairly good AA fire.

How very nice from you

We chose to target TRS and failed in that.

Continues later tonight.

US initiates in Bismarck Sea. Any Japanese fly to combat?

CW initiates in East Med and reacts fighters to boxes 0 and 1. Any planes from the Axis (red circles).

After these Axis can initiate in West Med if they want to.
