Hudson to the 0-box. Sub included.

While waiting for a reply, I'll move on to the other areas.

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?

No, thank you.

Hawaiian Island Searches: Axis 3, Allies 8. No combat.

Biscay Seaches: Axis 3, Allies 5.

The Axis go for naval air and use 4 surprise points to reduce the Allies air to air value.

Do the Allies wish to make any adjustments to the batting order?

Put the two NAV2 first and then the B-18. The A-22 last.

The Italians sneak a bomber through, while the Allies decide whether to lose the Spitfire or Dauntless.

The naval bomber.

The Allies retaliate for the loss of the naval bomber. Destroy the fighter or the NAV?

The naval bomber.

I'll post the rest of the results in a bit but Axis abort the front Spitfire. Where do the Allies wish to return it?

Hex 51, 24 SE of Plymouth

After 4 rounds of air combat, three Italian bombers are cleared through, both side have lost a bomber and the Allies leading fighter group returns to base.

Escort duties accomplished, the Axis fighters abort the combat.

Unnerved by the ferocious air combat, a fairly dense AA barrage causes the Gabbiano pilots to release torpedoes from too far out. They are easily avoided.

The swirling snow also makes targeting difficult but Allied convoys take a hit.

Where would the Allies like to place the second D?

The Danish costal defence ship Niels Iuel.

It too takes serious damage.

The Axis continue the fight. I presume the Allies stay?

Indeed.

And this time the Spitfire fly to the 0-Box.

Searches: Axis 9, Allies 1. No combat.

Where does the damaged Danish CA return to?

Edit: Danish not Dutch.

Danish.

And any UK port will do since it will be removed to the repair pool as soon as it in a port.

The only ground strike attempted is by the Italians. Does the Soviet fighter wish to intercept?

Germany can add a Bf-110C to counter-intercept.

Yes please. The fighter will target the bomber and if the fighter survives then it rebases as far away from the front line northeast as possible.
