No declarations of war.

Land: China
Combined: USSR, USA
Naval: France, CW

No Port Strikes. No naval air.

USA continue to transfer the Pacific Fleet to Hawaii.

CW sends two transporters from UK to Gibraltar where they unload one fighter and one naval bomber.

The liner sails from Australia, loaded with a militia, to Cape Basin.

The Dutch TRS in Malta sail for the Arabian Sea.

CW also send out plenty of convoy escorts.

A battleship fleet sail for the Bay of Biscay and another to Cape St Vincent.

HMS Furious and a couple of cruisers sail to the North Atlantic.

France send out a patrol in the East Med.

The Western Allies send out submarines to the West Med and the Italian Coast.

CW send one convoy point to the West Med and a couple of cruisers.

CW initiate combat in the West Med. No additional air added.

Will Germany, or Italy, reinforce the West Med with any air units?

Italy has even more air units they can use for reinforcing the West Med.

How will the surprise points be applied?

And what will the first target be (if this can be decided now)?

I'm assuming the AA is NE. 2 points spent to increase damage to 2D, A, with the first D on the CP. If AA isn't NE, then the spare 2 points should do the trick.

One convoy point sunk and one cruiser damaged. Which ship will Italy assign the abort result?

HMS Edinburgh got aborted. With only a damaged cruiser remaining CW decides to abort that as well.

Will the Italian forces stay in the sea area?

With the Allied submarines hiding from the Italian bombers the naval combat ends. (No searches in any other sea area)

Edit: HMS Edinburgh aborted to Tangier.

This ends the Allied actions for this evening since the hour is late.

Hi Gents

Sorry I have been off radar but things have been manic at work since returning from holiday - added to which I have picked up a rotten cold

Thanks for holding the fort Ormster - I will try and get back into the fold by the end of the week/weekend at the latest.

No strategic bombing. No Ground Strikes.

USSR rail one garrison to Persia.

In China the Communists use 4 land moves to reinforce their line. The defensive line south of Kunming is straightened.

CW rebase one FTR3 from Northern Spain to Tangier. One LND3 rebase from England to Spanish Morocco. And another LND3 rebase from England to Northern Spain.

No land combats. No reorganization.

First up, Cape St Vincent.

The Re.2000 begins searching while the Germans and Italians each fly a Nav to the 2-box.

A substantial portion of the RAF, plus their Spanish allies are available for defence. Anybody taking to the skies?

Swordfish with Spitfires escorting scramble to the defence of the convoys.

The Italian sub skipper decides to stay deep.

Searches: Axis 1, Allies 4. The Axis planes locate the Allied scouting cruisers. 2 surprise points decrease their AA fire to NE. The two cruisers are aborted (note, I didn't use the die roller programme for the A results as 3 A's meant it was unnecessary).

Round 2.

Guessing the Allies aren't likely to retire at this stage and won't commit any more air, we get to searches. Rolls of Axis 5 and Allies 8 end proceedings. Where do the French and Spanish cruisers abort to?

The Italian artillery captain is dismayed when they unpack the ammunition to find it stamped "75mm, gun salute, for ceremonial use only". They fire it off anyway to at least make some noise.
