Zhukov declines HQ support in the attack against Kaunas. USSR flies a fighter and a bomber in support of the attack. The odds are 54:5 before ground support.

Italy can fly with one LND2 (Stuka) to Kaunas. Germany has a FTR2 and a FTR3 within range of the combat hex. Will Axis fly any defensive air to the combat hex?

Yes please, send Bf109 to shoot down that bomber. German fighter does not abort for any reason, it stays for dogfight with USSR fighter too. After combat it lands one hex east from where it starts.

A short air combat sees both fighters aborted.

The Communist Chinese is a success as well. Note that I forgot to roll for fractional odds here but since it didn't make any difference I didn't bother rolling it at all and just put in a failure roll.

The Nationalists surprise themselves, nay, stun themselves, by a successful attack. [X(] They are simply shocked. Is this really allowed?

No matter, clearing up that pocket behind the lines free up several units that can now be transferred to the frontlines. [:)]

USSR rebase a fighter from Pskov to Southern Latvia.

CW rebase the long-range fighter on Malta to Egypt.

France rebase a naval bomber from SW Africa to Cape Town.

50% chance that the turn ends but a 9 is rolled and the turn continues.

Winter reappears in Russia. Bad weather all over the globe.

Nah, it's a hallucination. [:)]

Are you using the USSR-Japan compulsory peace optional rule? It is not implemented by MWiF, but could be done just by player agreement, since the USSR is at war with the western Axis.

No, but we played as if a USSR-Japanese pact was in affect from '39. So a war could not automatically be declared.

M/A 42 Axis 13

No DoW or alignments.

Germany land, Japan naval, Italy combined.

The Japanese send various subs out raiding. The fleet in the NEI sails to South China Sea 3 and 4 boxes, taking with them the 2 MAR units. AMPH takes an INF from Canton to Port Arthur. TRANS from The Marshalls loads an INF from Hong Kong to China Sea. CA's in ports around the Coral Sea region leave harbour and assume escort roles.

Combats in the Italian Coast and China Sea are declined, leaving ...

First up, Bay of Bengal.

In Cape Naturaliste, both sides roll a 9 so no combat.

Bay of Biscay

The Allies can add a Spitfire up to the 1-box if they wish?
