Land moves

USSR
Nothing on Japan front but Red Army oozes forward in all areas as miserable S/O weather continues.

Invasion

CW TERR from East Med makes automatic invasion to Southern Greece port of Kalamai


Land combat

USSR attack 3-3 INF in Romania.

Axis can use ground support in Romania. Odds are currently 50:3 = +30,333 blitz. Do you want to use ART or planes? Allies have many fighters in range.

No support.

Both are automatic

I just realized Romania attack was assault as there was a city. Do you want to support the attack in this case?

EDIT: No support from the Axis.

One rebase instruction has to be checked, impulse will be ready in the morning.

Rebases

US
NAV to from Egypt to Southern Greece Kalamai

USSR
La-5FN near Mogilev to Latvia 43.49
La-7 near d-town to 53.50
Su-2M near Kiev to Cernauti

"It's futile to resist, my apprentice..." or something like this...

... Time out - no contact with Ally to check actions...
Go order for The Empire Strikes Back
Tactical planning for step one of The Empire Strikes Back complete
Orders for The Empire Strikes Back issued
Time for launching step one of The Empire Strikes Back set to 'This evening'

Just about when I, or we, were ready to launch our counterstrike some wise stab offices decided to check the Rules of Engagement to see if all elements on the plan was allowed. Alas, one element of the plan was deemed outside the Rules so the plan in its current form is scrapped. I will sleep on it to see if it can be redone to work. If not, then it might be tried at a later date.

Sorry for the delay. Hope to get to our impulse tomorrow.

Sep/Oct '44
