Based on your decision on the E. Coast, I'm assuming the convoys will stay for rnd 2.

Aborted CPs will again go to Gibraltar so as to avoid potential combat in the Bay of Biscay.

edit - initially indicated Liverpool, corrected to Plymouth.

No way!!!. I have been very lucky recently in the sea zones (starting last impulse in the W. Med).

{I did check over the weekend, my rolls are approximately statistically correct overall, it just seems that the poor rolls are consistently happening in France.}
I think I would have preferred missing all of the sub battles for one higher die roll on the Paris attack.

I'm not sure he's ready for his happy face. There's a lot to mull over.

Chungking is down. Now how long will it take to move those forces north. A long time in the winter, I suspect.

Status: offline 		I believe that it was a mistake not to groundstrike the stack adjacent to Paris with the Luftwaffe.

Consider this: if the stack adjacent to Paris gets disorganised, no reinforcements can reach the city anymore. Also, that stack in itself can be attacked out of three hexes (not adjacent to Paris). So if that ground strike is good enough, Germany could have blitzed that stack in the open and get rid of any possible reinforcements for Paris, too.

One should always consider the possibility of failure and act accordingly in MWIF. Yes, I know: +15 is a good attack on Paris and chances that things will go wrong are not high. But the possibility of failure is there and one should try to minimize the consequences of valiant French defenders, who decide to fight to the last bullet...

Now, Germany is again faced with a fully stacked Paris and has to start over again.

Certainly a mistake in hindsight. At the time I was wanting to keep some FR forces alive so that they could convert to Vichy. Maybe silly, but that was my line of thought. I prioritized the Rouen (wanted to disorganize the plane) and Paris GS (that worked). Also, I was not expecting to roll a 4 after rolling a 5 in the previous attack on Paris. With the fractional, the chance of missing taking Paris was only 4.5% (less than 1 in 20).

I have been kicking my self for not adding another fighter-bomber to the attack. 2 more points of GS would have made the fractional, which would have given me Paris. There are so many what-ifs.

The RN declines to attempt to initiate combat in two sea areas that the axis (specifically the Italians) can.

1. Do the Italians wish to try to initiate a naval combat in the Western Med? If so, do they wish to add the German NAV, which can be added to sea box 2 and below? The RAF has three planes that they can add. The max sea boxes to which they could be added is shown.

2. Do the Italians wish to try to initiate a naval combat in the North Atlantic?

Yes.
1) I will initiate in the W. Med. The GE NAV and the IT fighter under it will both react out to the 1-box, joining their comrades.

2) I will initiate in the N. Atlantic as well (both should now be disorganized). If I get the chance with enough surprise points, I may go after the carrier Illustrious since it is alone in the 3-box (it would be surface).

In the North Atlantic, the Italians subs continue to find and surprise the RN! However, they are 1 surprise point short of being able to isolate and force a surface combat against the RN aircraft carrier Illustrious in the 3-box.

How would you like to use your surprise points? Avoid combat or isolate sea box 0, use 4 surprise points to force a submarine combat and then what?

If so spend 4 to select submarine combat and the last 2sp to reduce the ASW (which should be 10 factors I believe).
If I have 8 surprise points or more let me know.
