The Soviet airforce bombs the defenders in Kirin.

After rolling so high for the strategic bombing I thought we should roll low for the ground strike to even things out. Apparently not. [:D]

I need some information from Warspite1, so there will be no more action this evening.

What info are you looking for? There is no more Soviet action until land movement so if you send over the file when you have got up to the Soviet movement I will take it from there.

The Allies need to send an American bombing mission over Germany. This will result in Colonel Hogan becoming a POW. This then gives the Allies a +10 die modifier for bomb attacks on Dusseldorf - but only Dusseldorf. Once Col. Hogan gets captured, it's a lock for Dusseldorf to become flat ... as a pancake.

Well perhaps when the Germans are at war with Germany they will [;)]

I am sorry, I must have misunderstood you. [:(]

CW rail one militia from Dover to Liverpool.


Land Moves:
Lieutenant-General the Honourable Harold Alexander relocates his headquarter from London to Portsmouth.

The Glasgow militia moves from London to Dover.

The Spanish 5th Corps liberate the last enemy controlled part of Spanish Morocco. Franco declare it a day of victory.

The Nationalist Chinese makes minor adjustments of their lines but due to bad weather combined with low mobility two of the units moved become disorganized.

Nov/Dec 1941
Impulse: 5 (Allied)

Land Movement (Cont)

Chinese Communists

Mao orders his forces ever eastward. Operation resource denial starts with partisans being ordered east of the Yellow river on the lower slopes of the central Tailing Mountains. At the same time the bulk of Mao's army try and increase the pressure on Tungkwan.

Soviet Union
On the Far Eastern Front there is little that the Soviets can do. I would have considered a strike with one or two +1's but not without.

On the Western Front the Soviets launch Operation re-stuff. Few units are in position along the border thanks to the weather and how far they originally went back, but they are getting there.

Land Combat
None

Rebase

Commonwealth
A Beaufighter rebases from London to the West Country.
The Whitley bomber transfers from Morocco to Bilbao.
An RSAAF Hurricane debarks to the tip of southern India

United States
The bomber in New York is rebased to Newark.

Reorganization

Commonwealth
Alexander reorganises the Spitfire in Plymouth and the Lancaster on the Essex coast.

Back to the Axis

Okay looks like that is it for tonight - goodnight all.

Okay Gents, usual question. For day planning purposes what is the expectation of play (if any) today please? I can be available at most times.

I can be available most of the day as well.

I'm on my computer in the evening. I gave my instructions for both games if AllenK comes online. If he can't play but leaves instructions, I can play in the evening.

Have a couple of things to do first, then available for most of the day.

N/D 41 Axis 8

No DoW or alignments.

Germany land. Italy and Japan combined.

Japan sends CA's with INF Divs to Port Moresby and Eniwetok.

Japan declines combat in South China Sea. Italy declines West Med and Italian Coast.

East Med

The remaining organised Italian sub initiates the search. No additional air is flown. CW can fly a Hurricane near Alex to the 1-box if they wish?

No thank-you.

The combined Anglo-French screen locates the Italians well before they have caught sight of the convoys. Searches: Axis 6, Allies 2.

How do the Allies wish to proceed?
