Intercept this supply mission? USSR has two 4 strength fighters which can intercept.

Yes, please, intercept. Target bomber, and stay as long as it remains. Land whence.

The Italians shoot down the Russian transport.

Winter shows back up in Eastern Europe.

Btw, I was able to reorganize the German units and complete the impulse without issue. Hopefully, you won't experience any problems.

Edit:
The only US reaction is that the junior senator from Wisconsin writes a strongly worded open letter, that is printed by the Milwaukee Sentinel. (9 rolled)

Land actions for UK and USSR.

USSR executes a major withdrawal from the Baltic states while saying goodbye to their rear-guard comrades.

Weather the same.

Edit:
The open letter in the Milwaukee Sentinel forced the senior senator to take a position on the issue. This in turn prompted the Speaker of the House, Sam Rayburn, to call for the Service Extension Act , as the war spreading in Europe is troubling. (1 rolled)

Germany makes two attacks into Latvia.

- The eastern one (44,50) is automatic regardless of air. Currently at 56:2.
- The attack on Riga is currently automatic at 45:2. Two ENG assist with the assault. If Soviet defensive air doubles the defenders then a final odds of +19,5 is expected. Germany has two FTR3 that can intercept. Will USSR fly?
