43 ND i2 allies (cont):
SU shuffles some units against Germany. Timoshenko and CAV move near Manchuria. Units move around Kirin and Vladivostok.

US invades Truk, include notional seems like no-brainer since SB not included in this screenshot already.

11:6 doubled with SB to 22:6
7 CVP factors added to 29:6

Combat roll is good enough to take it, unlike the 2 or 3 (can't remember it was so horrible) rolled on the last US Marine invasion.

Where to send the ships? They can all get out northward through the Marianas without being intercepted.

Send them all to Fukuoka if they can all reach that base unintercepted.

Which CPs will be taken as losses, and aborts?

Sink PAN/BRA ships, abort CW ships to Canada.

Will Allies search in the Italian Coast?

Yes please.

I assume that Allies will add no air since they only reach the 0-box.

No air added for Axis.

Axis finds in the Italian Coast with 2 surprise points to use. Will the US FTR2 fly as a fighter, or bomber? (allies 5, Axis 3)

Fighter, thanks.

Axis use two surprise points to decrease the enemy fighter value.
