Sep/Oct 1942 Allies 2nd Impulse: Allies will try to open a 2nd invasion beachhead in Western Europe... Weather: Probably helps all here, but the weather roll was another 1. Fine everywhere. Actions: USSR - Land US - Land. Consider invasion of Truk CW - Land. Invade NW Spain Fr - Land Ground Strikes: With fine weather again, Russia wants to do some smart ground striking again. So they target the 7-6 ARM down south since its the strongest fastest German unit deep in Russian territory. Plus, no Axis fighters in range. They also launch two ground strikes on two different armored columns near Moscow. The Germans, as mentioned before, have very little fighter support close to the front lines, so they can only intercept one of these. In that case, the Soviets have three fighters that can react to that. In France, the CW launches one strike against the same two GARRs missed last turn. The Germans used Kesselring to reorganize the FTR unit hit last impulse, so they'll have 2 possible intercepts. The Allies aren't worried since they have some strong fighters in the area. They only do 1 strike, since they want to save 1 air action to transfer a new long range Australian fighter to Rabaul. The US doesnt do any strikes, wanting to transfer some aircraft if possible at the end of the impulse. In reaction, Germany does not intercept the CW bomber, but does so in Russia, picking the strike that can only get 1 escorting Russian FTR. In this air combat, Axis has odds advantage +1/-1. 1st round Axis rolls a 9 for no effect. Allies roll a 15 and abort the fighter. Bombers cleared through. Germany's lack of fighter support is exposing their army to alot of air strikes. We'll see what the results are...
