Allies fly FTR2 to southern hex to control the skies, no bombers in Ukraine. One FTR2 (6) can intercept reaches both north and south hexes and USSR has AA in northern Attack.

CW CVP fly as bomber to Salonica Greece, US FTR2 (7) can intercept.

Some key hexes are marked, 2 bombers can fly from north of the marshes. I think only Ju88 reach Salonica and Italian FTR2 can fly only if bomber fly.

Any planes from Axis?

No, planes, thx.

Supply bug again in Greece, CW INF drops from attack after getting OOS when I reload the game. I will modify die roll and ask your opinion if roll goes close.

I think attack is

22:3 = +14,667 assault

10 attacking factors
10 shore bombardment
2 ground support

vs 3 defending notionals

City -1
Allied combat friction -1
Para +1
Notional +1

Is this correct?

Odds

Also in USSR 56,56 there should be one disorganized AT gun so final odds is +10,2B

In USSR south 1 added to roll die.

I need to ask JJ which unit takes loss and which units advance. I do other rolls now too.

I believe Axis save ARM?

In Greece land combat roll was 16 so attack is good. I didn't plan to advance with INF, so no harm done.

ARM div taken as loss in USSR

We are at 11 days......

I have very limited play time at the moment. I plan to get our impulse going tomorrow. Saturday.

I started our impulse, but as you can obviously see I didn't get far enough to post any interactions on the forum. I am truly sorry.

My time management skills are truly poor for I didn't even do half what I expected to do during the weekend. And now I am out of time until Friday. I am clear on what Japan, and Italy, will do during our impulse, and it may be that peskpesk can do execute the first part of our impulse before then. I hope that he can, but I expect that it will not be possible.

Anyway. I can not do anything until Friday. I am so sorry for this. I will strive to do better.

Impulse #2 (Axis)

Japan add 5 FTR2, and one LND2, to the 0-box. Will Allies add any air? They have plenty that can reach 2-box or lower. Didn't see anything that could reach higher.

Will the SUBs be included?

No air thank you.

We sink the sub and then dive deep.

Tried to load my save at Allies add air... the game loads at strategic bombing.
Then try to load my save at Axis add air... the game loads at strategic bombing.
Quite frustrating. Bah.

Jul/Aug '44
Impulse #2 (Axis)

Both sides roll a 2, and Japan goes with naval air.

What SUB will take the D?

Japan will pace aborts on unaffected SUBs. Can Allies allocate 'their' A result now?

If US has SUBs remaining in the sea area, what will be the procedure for a second search?

What is the abort port?

D on sub in lowest box.

A on damaged sub in the lowest possible box.

If possible, we stay for more.

Aborts to Truk
