(CW still needs one pilot to be reimbursed)

The recent Skua loss reminded me about this. No need to go back. We just fix it next time. Or the time after that.

ORIGINAL: AllenK

With Orm having moved the Skua to the front, I assume this will be the sacrificial lamb.

You got that right. [:)]

The Axis decide to stay for another round and I assume the Axis will too.

Searches: Axis 6, Allies 3. No combat.

No ground strikes.

Germany and Italy moved few units hex or two.

United Kingdom is eager to see if their new long range scout is worth the cost so the Baltic Sea is up first.

Germany can send assisting aircraft to the Baltic Sea. Four of them. The Ju 88C reach the 0-box while the others reach the 1-box.

Any takers?

Didn't see that one coming... Fokker to box 1, thanks.

Actually, can I find anything in rain from box 1?

If you didn't roll yet and you see this before rolling, 0 box if I can't find from box 1.

Didn't really think about it. You are right that you can't find anything in rain from the 1-box without any bonus. And that you do not have.

Changed the Fokker to the 0-box.

And I also forgot that Italy could provide the SM.81 bomber slash air transport. It also reach the 1-box.

I suspect it will stay grounded but I though I ask anyway.

No Italians, thank you.

CW is not even close to find in the Baltic Sea (9 rolled).

Time to try our luck in the East Med. CW add a bomber to the sea area.

Italy has a FTR2 on standby that reach the 1-box.

AllenK can answer that. If he does not answer in 5 minutes, I say no thank you.

Good to go without any new air?

No new air.

Both sides find with 1 surprise point to the Allies. Air combat coming up.
