Naval Movement Cont': CW lots of naval moves to reinforce sea zones.
Obvious intercept attempts on CA leaving Port Said(6) and Suez(4) fail to find and providing screening for Carriers in WM.
Trans from SA picks up 3-3 in Arabian Sea.
CW will be searching East Coast.
Axis nothing to lose by searching EM.
Shouldn't need a save.

East Coast search fails to find, Allies 5 Axis 6.
Axis can search 3 areas, although obvious Axis may have other plans for East Med.
Require Axis decisions on searches BOB, FG & EM.

Impulse #5 (Allies) Cont
Strategic Bombing: None
Ground Strikes: Manchuria [54,150] 122mm (4), 2-3 Terr flipped(4).
Rail: Marshall Timoshenko transferred to Manchuria [62,158]
Movement: USSR advances in Manchuria. Chinese move forward.
Attacks: There is one attack vs the flipped 2-3 Terr currently an auto attack. If max air support of 2 is added odds would be +20.5 with Assault the only chance of a loss with fractional. With the odds of that very remote I will carry on as an auto attack to finish turn. Of course I can redo if required.
No reorg.
Airbase of note: Blenheim Malta to Egypt.
Over to Axis.

Impulse #6 (Axis)
Naval Moves continued:
The Italian transport force continues to Åatras.
Japan:
BB + 2 TRS
No strategic bombing. No ground strikes.
Rail Movement:
Japan:
ENG -> Changchun
Italy:
MIL -> Brest
Germany:
2 ART + GARR -> Poland
Land Movement:
Italy:
PART -> NE
MIL -> Genoa
Japan:
6-3 INF + 6-4 INF + 2-3 TERR adjust their defensive positions in Manchuria.
Germany:
Bayonne, and Salonica, are liberated.
The Greek liberation force concentrate on Athens.
Most of the armies in France return towards their German home bases.
PARA -> Taranto
Debark:
Germany:
INF -> Trieste
Germany assaults Athens. Current odds is 23:4. One LND2, and one LND3, add 9 points in ground support. This will give 32:4 or +15. However, CW may add defensive ground support. Germany has one 6-strength FTR2 available.
Will CW support Athens?

No support. Happy for you to make these decisions to keep things moving. I would rarely fly unescorted air support except in desperation or a critical attack that might make a difference.
