No hits near Vladivostok

Two hits in Sardinia.

Over to JJ for the rest of the impulse.

44 MJ i1 allies (cont):
SU rail ARM Vlad to atop Koniev near d-town

SU land moves:
SU sets up 2 attacks using Zhukov's ochit near Kiev.

SU attacks:
2 attacks shown in photo (also I think all air on top that can fly so it's easy to see what's available). No SU HQ's are in the attacks.
North Attack:
75.5:18 (+14.4B) - 2 ENG being used

South Attack:
86:16 (+13.8B) - 2 AA in the attk, 6(3)5 and 6(4)5 HQ's can defensive support

SU won't fly any DAS. What will axis fly? Will HQ's commit?

No, planes or HQ support.

Northern attack is not that big of a success, no losses to the Axis.

USSR advances to the hex.

Southern hex goes as planned.

Which unit is saved?

ROM MECH is saved and USSR advances to the hex.

Upgraded MWIF to version 05.00.00.10.

I hope that works.

Gents where are we?

I am sorry for the delay. There has been a combination of reasons for the delay. Our other games has been slowly progressing during the same time because they've been easier (less units).

I had hoped getting our impulse going this weekend. Alas, I've been stomach sick a couple of days and that caused a further delay. Still not recovered enough to eat, but feel well enough to play some MWIF. However, I am beginning with the easiest game (least complicated).

I plan to begin this game tomorrow (if I can keep some food). Or perhaps later this evening.

I hope you get well soon

Thanks for the update and I hope you will feel better soon. I hope we can do 1 side (ax or al) impulse in 1 week maybe going forward. It will be nice if we can then maybe we can finish by end of 2024 . Thank you.

My play tempo is indeed to slow. I will work on increasing my play speed.

Impulse #2 (Axis)

Axis begin searching in the Bismarck Sea. Any Allied air added?

( CW also has two fighters that can be added)

Catalina from Truk to box 4, thank you.

Just a minor error in plans: US has no plane or escort in East Coast…

I get to bed now.

No planes to Italian Coast or US East Coast (I think only FTR2 could fly there)

NAV2 from Lisbon to CSV box 0.
