Illustrious is not eligible as there is one plane already. I landed on Furious, hope that is OK. If you want to land on Ark Royal I come back and redo it.

More aborts follow.

Where does the last CW plane land? Ark Royal is empty and Illustrious has one plane already.

Spot on with the Furious. The last plane should fit onto the Illustrious as they are both class 1.

Now, come on AA gunners, do your stuff.

AA gunners almost aborted Italian plane.

Axis stay, I believe Allies stay too?

Edit: And no planes fly from Africa or France to West Med?

Flying those planes does not make sense so I move on.

Axis 9, Allies 8. Combat is over.

Cape St. Vincent Axis 8, Allies 6. Naval combat is over.

Allies stay and no extra planes.

Germany ground strikes with both artillery in France.
Japan ground strikes HQ (Mao) in China.

First one looks good.

Not so good.

Some day Japan will get lucky.

Japan rails MIL from Haichow to Chengchow.

Italian troops gets closer to Vichy.

Germany prepares to attack Sofia.

Japan occupies empty city of Ichang. On a roll 1 US gets annoyed to Japan.

Germany attacks Sofia and hex in France with 3 flipped units.
Italy is trying desperate attack in Egypt.

Does CW want to use defending HQ support?

We'll risk passing on that one.

I messed up. I put too many Rumanian units to Bulgaria and Rumanian plane can't fly ground support.

Is it assault or blitz?

Go with Assault thanks.

That was exactly what I needed. Let's hope it happens two more times.

NOW I GOT LUCKY! I had to dance a victory dance after I was sure it was a breaktrough.

Risky move pays off. Situation looked bad. Desperate times call for desperate measures...

Edit: Italy takes Cairo.

Can't complain after last attack...

Ju52 rebases to Brussels with PARA.
Bf109 rebases to front line.
Japan rebases KI-27 to front line.

Germany wanted to use Guderian to reorganize ARM, artillery, INF and MOT. I forgot that range was motorized movement, so he reorganizes ARM, artillery and Stuka.

Balbo reorganizes Erone.

The weather stays the same.

Sounds exciting. I love how the 2d10 makes Parachute attacks into a handy tactical weapon, the way the historical Russians did it frex, quite a bit more than a grand strategic weapon, the way American players can create the 1st Allied Parachute Army, which can be devastating given the kit available in the CW/US counter mix.

Also always a mark of a generous opponent to note where the Paras are in the stacks.

In my own games I can never remember if the motorized-movement-points for re-org are modified by the current weather or not. ???
