Impulse #16 (Axis)

No Naval Air. No strategic bombing.

Ground Strike:
Germany + Italy:
LND3 + 2 LND2 -> 51,50
2 LND2 + ART -> 55,48

At times it eludes me why I even bother with ground strikes.

No reorganization.

Turn ends on a 2 (1-8 to end).

Sending a save from the reorganization step for US entry, and stuff.

Do you want to have Axis instructions for the end of turn this time as well? And, if so, would you prefer Axis stay at sea and return to base instructions as well? 5thJMPBJ 073 ND 40 EoT
