Good night. Good hunting for Axis.

Yes please, use the Bf-110 or if not available, the Fw-190, thanks.

US reinforce the 0-box with a naval bomber.

Neither side finds in BoB. (10 and 8 rolled)

Will Axis add any air to CSV?

No thanks.

Both sides find in CSV. (Axis rolls 4 and Allies 3)

Will Italy abort the fighter or bomber?

The Italians decide to preserve the fighting capacity of their maritime aviation for another battle and return the NAV to base (Cadiz).

Italy rolls 19 and destroys the British fighter.

I changed the result to a two so that the pilot survives. I think that CW had 4BPs remaining to be compensated. If so, then 2 BPs remain. I'll check this tomorrow.

Does the Italian fighter remain on station?

A useful parting shot as the Italian fighter returns to base.

A useful parting shot as the Italian fighter returns to base.

And what base might that be?

Cadiz looks good, thanks.

And that is the end of the naval actions and the action of this evening.

I bid you all a good night.

The Whitley bomber in Northern Spain bombs Madrid for no effect.

That one put an end to the extremely good run Allies had with Strategic Bombing.

USSR makes three rail moves:
Minsk MIL - Minsk to Tabriz

China cautiously advances after the retreating Japanese forces. While doing so they liberate three Chinese cities.

China also advance into Northern Indo-China.

Land Movement (Cont)

Soviet Union
Really not much to report on the Eastern Front. Stalin refuses to allow his troops to retreat east of the old frontier so there are just some detail movements.

In Manchuria, the dastardly plan to knock out a large part of the Manchurian garrison was thwarted by some suspect dice. 6th Army (has this army covered the most distance in the game so far?) moves southeast to try and cut the links between Changchun and Mukden, supported by the Mongolian Cavalry, who guard the west bank of the Xar Moron river - and 6th Army's left flank.

Chinese Communists

Half of Mao's forces push east to keep the pressure on Terauchi, while the other half attempt to clear up the hinterland - or at least hope to if the weather turns nice.
