Mar/Apr '45
Impulse #3 (Axis)

Japan adds two FTR2 and one NAV2 to the 0-box. Add any Allied air? Include SUBs?

No planes. Subs are fully committed, they will attack with high risk.

No action in China Sea (Allies 7, Axis 8).

Axis can intercept only in Malta with two fighters.

Any planes fly? Allies can counter more fighters.

Only USSR missed. Now there will be some progress from Allied side.

Do you want to add notional units in Denmark? (odds are 39:12, Allies choose the table)

I believe "no" to Malta, as notional has 0 value

In China it is "yes" or attacks are automatic

How about in Philippines? (Attack is 15:2, Axis choose the table)

Add the notional in Denmark, and add the notional in Philippines.

Does Japan provide DSB in the Philippines?

Picture of all attacks in the area

Yes, please.

Ground support (odds and how many points of GS)

Denmark 60:14=10B and 7 points of GS with escorts (mentioned halved in rain)
Greece 27:2 with +2 from disorg and 2 points of GS
Malta 18:4=+13 (+4 from disorg) and 11 points of GS
China West 13:1B and 1 point of GS
China East 13:1 and 5 points of GS
Philippines 23,5:6 and 10 points of GS

HQ support is not counted to these odds.


Defensive ground support

Axis can send ground support to all other combats except Kuala Lumpur. Cyprus invasion is automatic.

I sent the save file if that helps. There are lots of planes that can fly. If you consider to fly only to certain combats, I can post pictures of planes available.

Final odds if Axis don't send any planes

Axis Defensive ground support.

- E of Manilla. Sent FTR2 N1K1-J (97,148), FTR2 Ki-44-II in hex and FTR2 A6M5 with 1 tactical factor, LND2 Ki-51 from Manilla and NAV2 D3A2 from (96,150). Target FTR.

OK. Allies can intercept and will do that.
