Rematch 4 player game (Orm, Peskpesk, jjdenver and Mayhemizer)

[Orm]

ORIGINAL: Mayhemizer_slith

I can use editing to move units. Let me know if I do it.

I think that would be easiest for the transfer of Japanese units out of Manchuria.

Could you edit the INF to 69,154, and MTN to hex 66,155, and then mail a new save?

The two Manchurian units could be edit moved as well. Perhaps into an unimportant hex in Manchuria (Where they will be removed during conquest) (The hex must be Japanese controlled or I think we will create a bug)

[Orm]

No declarations of war.

Land: Germany, Japan
Combined: Italy
Naval:

No port strikes.

Italy fly one LND2 to the 4-box of the Western Mediterranean.

Italy send 4 SUBs to Cape St. Vincent.

Italy initiates combat in CSV. CW can send their NAV2 to CSV. It reaches up to the 2-box. Will the NAV fly?

[Orm]

The British NAV fly to the 0-box. The SUBs are included in the search.

[Orm]

No combat in CSV. Axis roll 7, while Allies roll 10.

[Orm]

No strategic bombing.

Germany ground strike two hexes. One 5 strength LND2 versus the Billotte stack (54,31). And one 5 strength LND2, one 2 strength LND2, escorted by one 5 strength FTR2 strike the Georges stack (55,30).

France can intercept with two FTR2, and one FTR3. The 5 strength FTR2 only reach the Georges stack.

Germany can counter-intercept the Georges stack with one FTR3. Germany reach the Billotte stack with two FTR2, and two FTR3.

The French 3 strength fighter intercepts the unescorted Stuka. Germany send up the Hungarians to protect their bomber.

[Orm]

First round is inconclusive.

[Orm]

The Hungarian FTR2 is aborted.

However, the Hungarian fighters do their job and down the French fighters.

Does Billote give def HQ suport on 4-3 Inf?

Note:
France also later can give def ground support with 3-2 Art from Paris on 4-3 Inf.
France has Ftr3 that later can give def ground support one of the two attacks.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

France does nothing.

Japan and Germany does not use any HQ support or Offensive ground support.
