Not much for Italians to do this impulse. Will try CP to Italian Coast and a couple of land moves around Ethiopia. Japs should take Yenan and knock out the Garr unit.

Germany has like 3 organized units left, they will choose naval and try to initiate combat is north atlantic (subs) and north sea (1 ship in same box with planes).

Think I'll go for the Sian attack. It's pretty much the end of the turn so it's not so bad if the attackers all end up disorganised. If I don't do it now, the weather could well turn and if they build the Sian Mil, the odds aren't going to get any better and the job would be harder against 2 units in defence.

Italy and Japan are going for Land. No air missions to fly.

If the turn ends that disorganised Mot in Antwerp won't be reorganised. We now need to win the initiative and get a good ground strike against the other CW units in Antwerp.

Status: offline 		If you are able to ground strike that other CW corp in Antwerp, and the CW is OOS, then you have to attack it! A) Its an economic hit on CW and those guys are not coming back anytime soon to bother you in Europe or Africa (unlikely CW will spend BP's on MOT corps). B) Does the CW have any lift left? If they do get re-organized somehow, then they can still be a thorn in your side in France unless you cut them off, and even then you still have to keep German units there to ZOC them. I would keep ARTY adjacent in case the weather turns to Storm or Blizzard.

This wont require your best units.

Sorry, didn't see your response...was typing away...

Apart from a couple of exceptions this has been a pretty long run of low land combat rolls.

Status: offline 		This turn have to end at some point. I go to bed now.

Turn end instructions for Germany:

2 markers to defense.

Planes in North Sea returns to hexes [47,35] and [48,35]. Ships in Baltic Sea stays at sea, all other ships and subs returns to Kiel.

No oil is used to production, all is saved. That should make German production 15 BP's (after trade sent).

Germany reorganizes almost everything using 4,45 oils. 2 ships and 2 subs are not reorganized, all others should be reorganized with 4,45 oil. If I'm wrong, leave one Do17 disorganized.

Germany builds 2x MOT div, INF, MIL, ENG, NAV3

Germany assigns pilot to 4 point fighter. Place all units as close to front line as possible in west (Saarbrucken is good).


Deal with Italy: 2 res (1 oil) and 4 BP's.

Just wait for it, soon we will roll only 8+ and they will whine Statistic say that it will happen...

Status: offline 		Time to start thinking about our next impulse.

I presume we aim to go first and re-roll if necessary?

After those two lousy combat rolls, I don't think Japan can do much until replacements are brought in. Will do a Combined move to get the 2 new Mil to China and see about some anti-partisan activity if weather is fine.

If weather stays okay, a 2:1 attack on the 2 units in the mountains SW of Tungkwan is best odds for an attack but I need to rebase a Ftr first as it needs ground support, so not this impulse.

Italy will depend on the weather. If fine, a 2:1 attack on the XLIII Inf is a risky option. If not, then naval warfare against the convoys in the Atlantic.

When I get 4 range good fighter I will send it to Italy to control skies in West Med.

Status: offline 		I assume the Allies put Antwerp back in supply?...and they didn't re-org the disorganized unit there?

I assume go all out this impulse since the weather can easily turn very nasty. The obvious two primary targets are the AT gun hex, and the 6-4 hex farther south, but perhaps Antwerp as well?
