The Italian repair pool isn't exactly short of customers.

The Richelieu is a particular good BB to repair for Italy. And if I see the other two Italian BB's and the three fast cruisers sitting there, I think German build points should be given to Italy to increase the Euroaxis fleet. Good ships all in all...

Is Japan going to take land action or some other action?

Can I start from Europe and sink all CW ships [:)]

Is Tirana primary supply source for Italy? If Italy has units in Tirana, but does not have CP or TRS in Italian coast, are they in supply?

It should be a secondary supply source for Italy.

That's how I remembered. So we should place an elite unit there.

Japan will take land, so get going in Europe.

Italy combined and CP to Italian coast?

Unless the Germans have obe going spare, I suggest moving the Rome Mil to Toulouse or Bordeaux, so it can be railed to a suitable port in anticipation of the Trans being available next turn.

I think we need Rome MIL in France until we have taken northern Spain.

Next turn Germany gets MAR, I can rail it south are reorganize it by Ju52.

Italian rail move this impulse. Inf Div in Almeria to La Spezia. If you are moving the Italian Fleet to Gibraltar, leave a CA in place at La Spezia.

I planned to keep fleet in La Spezia this impulse and moved only CP to Italian Coast.

Sounds good. It might be able to 'walk' across from one of the hexes east of Taranto so the Trans isn't risked.

I think you are right.

Axis 4, Allied 9.

If we choose submarine combat we sink/abort all their CP's. But it will cause some losses to Italy, submarines will take X D 3A. At Least Morocco is OOS after this.

I think we have to do that, air combat is risky and their NAV's might get through anyway.

Next rounds we go without submarines.

Sub combat was the way to go and worked out quite well.

Has the CW any AMPH available for invasions? If not, than the Albanian notional unit is good enough (since it defends with 2 combat factors and can't be put out of supply) for the defense of Albania.

For as long as you are able to think in terms of attack and not of defend, you should not waste precious white print units for defense, unless it is absolutely necessary...

Not right now, but after Spain and before Barbarossa. I want to make sure they don't invade Albania when we are not ready for it.

In the current situation, I would not think about Barbarossa. Think about North Africa and Egypt first. A Sitzkrieg is the best way to handle the USSR for now.
