Automatic in Ukraine north

Ukraine south attack does not go that well. Result is something like this, I need to send file to JJ because I'm not sure which units he wants to disorganize and how to advance.

9-6 ARM advances into the hex. SU rebases FTR and tankbuster FTR to frontline in Ukraine.

Rebase

USSR 2 planes to front line

FF
LND4 from UK to Tunisia
FTR2 from UK to Southern France

US
FTR2 from Australia closer to front line
LND4 from Azores to Tunisia
FTR2 from Morocco to Algeria
FTR3 from Azores to Algeria

No HQ reorg

Over to the Axis

There been some planning for the Axis side. Awaiting to hear if there will be any German ground strikes (I think Germany long to try one in Normandy...).

I hope to begin our impulse tomorrow.

No, no German ground strikes in Normandy. I suspect that the strong RAF presence in the region was a deterring factor.

Impulse #4 (Axis)

Land: Germany, Japan, Italy
Combined:
Naval:

No Port Strikes. No Naval Air. No naval movement. No strategic bombing.

Italian bomber crews have been ordered to withdraw from Belarus to safer bases in Italy. However, bored with being in the Soviet Union for so long without any real action they decide to drop their bombs on the enemy instead of taking it with them to the new base.

Impulse #4 (Axis)

Ground Strike:
Italy
LND4 Belarus -> 56,56

Will USSR intercept?

Germany has two FTR2, and one FTR3, on standby.

If no interception, will the AA fire?

La-7 intercept, target bomber, RTB to any front line hex that is open if no frontline open then whence is good.

AA will fire if it is not on the front line but if on front line don't fire it. ty.

Germany counters with one FTR2.

Impulse #4 (Axis)

One FTR2 destroyed each, and the bomber is cleared.

The AA is in a front hex and do not fire.

Impulse #4 (Axis)

One unit hit by the GS.

My lungs was hit rather hard after a cold of some sort. Finally feel like I have some energy over to do some MWIF again. I hope to complete our impulse this weekend.

Health first, good to hear you are doing better.

The save I got from peskpesk is unfortunately corrupt, and unusable. I contacted him and we will investigate the issue.

Looks like we got a working save now...

Impulse #4 (Axis)

Minor movement by Japan in Korea, and in Burma.

Retreats by Axis in USSR, and in Southern France. Attempts, but fail, to repair the defences in Greece. Reorganize the defence in Normandy, and the Army abandons Brest.

Air rebase:

Germany:
FTR2 + LND3 Belarus -> NE Poland
FTR2 Königsberg -> Cernauti
FTR2 Cologne -> NW Paris

Japan:
NAV3 Kuala Lumpur -> Swatow
FTR2 Singapore -> Siam

Germany thinks that a critical juncture is coming and decides that all available forces are needed at this point. Thus, all available forces are reorganized to help with the defence of the free world.
