Wait as in "don't send any further air units to Cape St Vincent?"

How about no planes now.
Next impulse FTR (can be 6 point German fighter) to box 2 with few NAV's and FW Condor to box 4 to maximize odds to find (60% if fine weather)?

I agree. I was only waiting to see if Italian fighter can still get to the 2-box. It can't, so no additional air.

Yeah. I hope good weather for next impulse. And no combat this impulse [:)]

Looks like you got what you wanted.
I know it would be one less available for ground strike but could you put the Hungarian fighter to the West Med 2-box. If Italy takes combined I can drop the 2 BB's and 2 Nav's down to it and also send Ftr out to St Vincent 2-box.

CW has no fighters left to protect Gibraltar, only CVP's. I don't think I need front bomber to Stuka.
I can send Hungarian plane to West Med. I can also intercept German NAV to West Med box 2 when combat begins.
How about if I send 6 point German fighter to St. Vincent box 2, Italian NAV drops down to box 2 and FW Condor goes to box 4. German NAV will intercept box 2 when combat begins.
This means that Italian fighter stays unused this impulse in Spain. But we might need to against bombers with last remaining German fighter.
Italian subs are also in reserve to initiate combat where ever needed later this turn.
Edit: 2 Italian ships can also head back to port. We can't use them for shore bombardment.

Italian div in eastern Spain must take that last hex [70,25] in CW control to prevent that Spanish division to land and cause us problems.

Sounds a good plan.
What option are you planning? The full monty - Land and O-chit, or more attrition?

If we don't find enemy they have more than 20 points shore bombardment.
I would say I take combined. In addition what we agreed before I send submarine to Cape Verde Basin box 1 to test my luck.
Let's see the situation after naval combat, I might ground strike only by Stuka. We have 50% chance to get fine weather next impulse and 70-90% chance to get that next impulse depending on how many Allied major power passes.
I can also do attack without O-chit to make CW use planes/HQ/shore bombardment if I think I can make better one next impulse (also without O-chit).

Germany rails Königsberg MIL to Saragossa.
Test your luck with Italian artillery, if you roll 1 CW pays oil.

Okay, looks like combined's for all.
Let's get the show on the road.

Rather than Cape Verde, how about Faeroes? The escort is weaker and the sub would be in a higher sea box.

OK, do you want to do it or shall I do it? I have to get to sleep before (hopefully) naval combat ends.

There is rain. How many CP's are there?
I'm playing our 2 player game now.

7 in Faeroes, 8 in Cape Verde. Search odds are the same due to rain.

In that case Faeroes. I did not notice that at all. Thanks [;)]

What ground strikes do you want this impulse?

Stuka to Gibraltar, thanks.
