Are there any other ports where is space and that they were in supply before sinking CPs this impulse?

Maybe something in northern Australia?

I put the CA in Brisbane. Hope that works.

Thank you

Will Allies search in The Marianas?

Sure, let’s try that.

No contact in The Marianas (8-7).

There will be a break now. Expect action will continue tomorrow.

Made some progress today. I hope to complete the first part of our impulse tomorrow.

Sep/Oct '44
Impulse #3 (Axis)

No strategic bombing. No Ground Strikes.

Over to Germany for part two.

Sep/Oct '44
Impulse #3 (Axis)

is southern Europe the Axis forces tries to hold the front.
In other parts of Europe the general retreat order is followed as best as can be managed. Which is not good at all.

Air rebase:

Germany:
FTR2 West Seine -> East Seine
FTR2 Latvia -> Galicia
FTR3 West Germany -> Hungary
LND3 NE Ploesti -> SW Ploesti

Italy:
FTR2 Athens -> Naples

No reorganization.

The wet late summer weather continues.

Add to 0-box Italian:
- 4 range FTR2 from Naples
- 6 range FTR2 from Turin
- NAV2 from Palermo
- NAV2 from 74,39
- 8-range NAV3 from Genoa

Add to 0-box German:
- NAV3 from La Spezia
- NAV3 from 75,40

Allies find with 9 surprise points to use (rolls 4-10)

There will be break now to decide is it more important to sink TRS or try to shoot down enemy fighters. Last time air combat over these waters was a total disaster.

Actually now that I'm thinking I will sink that TRS.

Allies use
4 points to choose surface combat
2 points to reduce damage to D 3A
3 points to select target (TRS) for X

*Grumbling*

TRS sinks.

How do you place 2D?

Of course it did. There was never any doubt about it.
