Good point. The short turn and bad weather is not all bad for the Axis. It does affect the Russian ambitions early in the game.

I think I forgot to write that US placed one entry marker versus Germany, and then played resources to the Western Allies.

Sorry for the delay. Preparations for the holiday got in the way, and a delay in receiving orders.

Japan moves into contact with more units in China. Germany shifts forces to the West.

Japan rebases a fighter to Northern China. Germany rebases aircraft to the West. Italy moves their nav to the coast of Sicily.

Weather a little better.

Over to the Allies.

Italy declares war on France and Commonwealth. The USA takes it in stride, no chit.

Combined actions for Italy and Japan, naval for Germany.

No naval air.

Japan moves loaded transports into China Sea along with two BB. Italy moves a major task force into West Med with a division loaded on a cruiser. Germany sends virtually the entire KriegsMarine into the North Sea to find the Allied task force there.

Searching these three areas, starting in East Med.

Choose 3-box, all points to increase damage, all results on Strasbourg, then Hood, then Renown, then Repulse.
