SO39 i7, Possible Naval Combats.

CSV rolls of 9/2 (axis/allies) results in no combat
BoB rolls of 8/8 results in no combat
Italian Coast rolls of 8/7 result in no combat
The Germans decline to initiate in the North Sea with their lone NAV (forever waiting for the Cruisers that will never arrive).

E. Med rolls of 5/3 result in axis finding with 7 SP for round 1. Results shown below. Allies stay for round 2.

additional info: FR CP aborted to Beirut. CW CA and CP aborted to Suez.

rnd 2 rolls of 4/7 resulted in axis finding with 11 SP.
Missed the damage screens. Italians select CW CP for X destroying two of them. CW CA took the D and aborted (made's it's roll). The allies then abort the zone.

W. Med rolls of 3/7 result in axis finding. They engage the 4-box only with 12 surprise points. Use 4 SP to make it a surface and 8 SP to reduce axis damage to an A.

Results of the W. Med fight shown below. The allies aborted the zone before a round 2.

Ground Strikes.
The IT and JP need to take lessons from the Germans ASAP.

One attack in the Netherlands.

SO39 Turn did not end on impulse 7.

Turn 1. Sep/Oct 1939. Allied #8. Actions.

Turn 1. Sep/Oct 1939. Allied #8. USSR Naval Move.

Unusual for the Soviets to move naval units during Sep/Oct 1939 but the Japanese invasion fleet in the Sea of Japan has me concerned. The Soviets move a second sub to the Sea of Japan (3-box).

Turn 1. Sep/Oct 1939. Allied #8. French Naval Move.

The French use their one naval move of a combine to move to heavy cruisers to the 4-box of the Bay of Biscay.

Turn 1. Sep/Oct 1939. Allied #8. RN Naval Moves.

The RN uses their two naval moves to move a TRS loaded with a mech to the 3-box and the Queens loaded with a mot corps to the 4-box of the North Sea.

Turn 1. Sep/Oct 1939. Allied #8. Cape St. Vincent and Bay of Biscay. No Naval Combat.

Turn 1. Sep/Oct 1939. Allied #8. North Sea.

The allies decline the attempt to initiate combat in the North Sea.

Do the Germans wish to try?

If so, which (if any) of their planes react and to which boxes do they fly?

Turn 1. Sep/Oct 1939. Allied #8. Italian Coast.

The allies will be attempting to initiate combat in the Italian Coast.

Does the Italian fighter react? If so, where?

Status: online Turn 1. Sep/Oct 1939. Allied #9. North Sea.

The allies decline the attempt to initiate combat in the North Sea.

Do the Germans wish to try?

If so, which (if any) of their planes react and to which boxes do they fly?

Yes. React one fighter to the highest box possible (1-box or higher). If I cannot reach the one box, then no reaction.

Turn 1. Sep/Oct 1939. Allied #9. Italian Coast.

The allies will be attempting to initiate combat in the Italian Coast.

Does the Italian fighter react? If so, where?

Yes to the 0-box.

Turn 1. Sep/Oct 1939. Allies #8. Naval Combat. Italian Coast. Round 1, Searches.

Both sides find. The Italians net 2 surprise points. It's a surface battle.

1. How do the Italians wish to spend their 2 SP's?

2. Instructions for allocating your damage?

3. Will the Italians remain for a possible 2nd round of combat?

Are the subs included? or just the 4-box.

If the subs are included:
increase my attack column by one with 2 SP to X D
apply X A result against Italians as follows: X on the Trieste, and A on damaged Trieste or the Zara (in priority order)

If the subs are not included
decrease your attack by one column with 2 SP to D 2A
apply D to Trieste, 2A to damaged Trieste, Zara, Trento in priority order. skip any that have a half abort.
You should have a 2D 3A to apply to the allies.

I will stay for round 2.
