Allies will activate the Baltic Sea. No additional air. Will Axis reinforce the sea area?

German fighter adjacent to Riga intercept to Baltic Sea box 0.

No planes for Japan.

No planes for Italy, submarine joins the combat.

*cencored*

The Allies continue with their exemplary luck when it comes to hunt down the Italian marine air-force.

Allies roll 9 and have no clue whatsoever. Italy rolls a 1 and do whatever they fancy.

So how will Italy proceed? And after they have done their thingie, will Italy stay in the sea area for another round?

Include 0-box only. Use 3 points to choose sub combat. Reduce sub damage to NE if necessary. Rest of the points to increase losses. Axis will stay to fight.

SUB included for next round?

Edit: I think 4 surprise points are needed for selecting submarine combat. Although I am pretty sure that it will make no difference whatsoever.

No sub for next round, we don’t want it to sink for nothing [;)]

For the second round in the East Med the Allies rolls 2 and Axis 6.

Allies use their surprise points to increase their air to air combat value.

The Allied front fighter gets aborted to Alexandria.

Italy decides whether to abort their bomber or fighter?

And will Italy remain for another round of air combat?

And if Italy aborts the air combat, will the Italian force remain in the sea area?

And lastly. Where does the aborted plane land?

Abort the bomber, thanks. Land Sicily 74,39. Abort the air combat but stay in the area, thanks.

Both sides rolls a 2 for the third search in the East Med.

USA use their 2 surprise points to increase the a2a combat.
