Strategic Bombing:
1) France bombs Barcelona
2) CW night bombs Lille.
3) USA night bombs Brussels.

Will Germany intercept any of the bombers?

And will Germany use the AA if any bomber clears? And how will the 4 AA shots be utilized (what prio)?

Hour is getting late so the action will continue tomorrow.

I believe firing with AA gun 2 shots to each planes means they can't hit anything. So AA gun fires away to save a day.

The bulk of Koniev's Far Eastern Front, having cleared Changchun and Kirin, push south in the valley between the Liao river and the foothills of the Changbai Mountains. Meanwhile Koniev orders two corps and a division into the mountains to try and flank the Japanese units streaming south from the capital. The right flank of the advance is guarded by the Mongolese cavalry, soon to be joined by the 3rd Cavalry Corps.


How brown is my valley? (with apologies to Richard Llewellyn)

Mao continues to probe the retreating Japanese in northern China by moving his eastern force toward Suchow where the Japanese 6th Infantry are providing the rearguard for General Terauchi. The Japanese communist force needs to remain vigilant in case the Japanese decide to reinforce the Chinese mainland....

Now we come to the Western Front where the situation is altogether more worrying - and frankly a whole lot less fun

Around Leningrad the 16th Rifle Army and the 1st Mechanised Army straddle the Volkhov River on the southern shores of Lake Ladoga to guard the southern approaches to Leningrad and also the Moscow-Leningrad rail link.

To the south, the Dvina is seen as being crucial in trying to hold back the German Army Group North. Zhukov orders his Militia units to make last stands in Lithuania and Eastern Poland in order to try and allow as much of the Northwest Front to escape (or at least begin the process of escape) but the Rasputitsa, which the Soviets were praying for in case the Germans got the initiative, has ironically impeded their own withdrawal having won the first impulse for themselves.

The main problem the Soviets face is that the Western Front is somewhat devoid of units... A big stand is ordered by Stavka in Minsk. Stalin has been watching the latest episodes of Game of Thrones for inspiration and accordingly orders that General Pavlov's head be mounted on the approaches to the Belorussian capital as a reminder that failure is not an option here. Zhukov is likely to have to face giving up the 9th Guard Infantry Army and the 51st Rifle Army and hand over to the Western Front depending on what happens in the next impulse.

The potentially desperate situation in the north means that, as a precaution, the 1st Rifle Army is ordered north to Gomel.

Once again, Militia units are ordered, where possible, to do their thang in cities, while the real army get the **** out of here Bessarabia is seen as being the best place to allow time for those troops of the Southern Front ordered to hold a line on the Dneistr.

The Northern Ukraine is the biggest concern as there are no natural obstacles to impede the German troops

A fighter unloads in Liverpool.
In the Pacific a second fighter unloads at Niue.
In Singapore a fighter on USS Ranger rebases to USS Hornet which now has a nice balance of fighter and torpedo bomber units.

In Egypt a Whispering death is ordered to Port Sudan, while a Blenheim heads for Aden.

USSR
A MiG rebases southwest of Kiev
A Lend-Lease Hurricane is flown south from Leningrad to northeast of Pskov, while a third fighter makes a short hop to west of Vitebsk.

Reorganisation: None - so its back to the baddies.

No DoW or alignments.

All 3 Axis powers opt for land.

Japan sends a ground strike from Port Arthur against the Mongol CAV.

The Germans and Italians mount a mixed effort at Bayonne. Do the Allies wish to send any interceptors?

The Axis have the G.50 and Fw-190 they could add to the mix.

Reminder: CW has one pilot that needs to be compensated. Preferably not today, but still....

Coming in low, the first wave, consisting of the Bf-110's is spotted by the RAF's Spitfire group. As the interceptors dive down, the Bf-110's jettison bombs and form a defensive circle. With their eyes on the 'easy prey' fighter-bombers, the RAF pilots fail to notice the German fighter escort, with fatal consequences.

Wow that was unexpected - I didn't think the Japanese would attack this unit. My fault I should have put some aerial defence in range . Stalin is taking on board another lesson from Game of Thrones. Like Arya he has a list that he recites each night before turning in. The Chief of the air force in the Far East has just joined that list....

Germany attacks Bayonne and 4 units in east.

Does CW want to use HQ support in Bayonne? Current odds are 31:22 = 1:1.

Germany can use it too and both sides have some ground support (Germany has Stuka 5 tactical factors, HUN fighter 2 and FW190 1).
