Axis attack on Suez has 20 land combat factors, and aircraft will bring another 14, for a total of 34:5 in odds. +1 on the die for blitz and the panzer.

CW can fly one LND3 in defensive support, that can be intercepted by the Italian FTR2.

Will CW try and support Suez?

The attack in China first. It is assault since blitz is automatic.
