But the Allies have the surprise points and they have the luck of the roll. The German carrier planes are shot from the sky and hordes of Baffins and Swordfish swoop down on the German ships.

Status: offline 		In what has to be one of the riskiest moves I've ever made, the Germans drop paras on to the US rear, in an effort to cut their supply lines. They launch another attack on a disorganized stack in the hopes that the para attack will reduce them to being OOS for that attack.

Here are the losses for the turn.
HMS Formidable was sunk in a port attack at Portsmouth.

The USSR is doomed and is going to be extremely lucky to survive the year. The Allies do not have sufficient force in place to challenge the German forces in the west. Its going to be a tough year for them.

Status: offline 		With summer just around the corner, the Germans are closing in on Omsk. Novosibirsk, set to be the Soviets' last stand, is just over the horizon. It looks impossible for the Russians to survive two turns and several impulses of clear weather.

As is usual, however, neither side finds the other, yet again.

Here are the losses for Mar/Apr 1944:
