Axis makes three land attacks. Germany vs Poznan. Japan vs the Chinese GARR in the Mufu mountains. Italy attacks Nice, and the navy adds 13 points in shore bombardment, and the air force (2 FTR2 + LND3) add 8 points in ground support.

Should the attack on Nice be assault, or blitz? (I will do the Nice attack last).
