The new weather is fairly fine. Just as expected when I thought that really lousy weather wouldn't be all that bad.

Combined for Commonwealth.

Declined search for you here:
French transport loaded the London militia in 0 box.

Picked Blitz for you here as you have the same probability to kill me as the Assault table, but better chance for your unit to survive. The higher probability of my units staying organized is mitigated by the lateness of the turn and your militia can easily retreat into Bagdad and can't be attacked since I won't be in supply that far forward.

Turns out result on the Assault table is the same.

Turn sent.

Good call in picking blitz. Thank you for keeping the game speedy.
