[al] Any CAP for strat bombing?
[ax] Negative.
[al] Okay.
[al] No strat bombing or ground strikes.
[al] Scratch some of that last.
[al] Any CAP for ground strikes?
[ax] Negative.
[al] Okay.
[al] No ground strikes, as it happens.
[ax] Tricky. 😁
[al] Only if "indecisive" counts as "tricky". 😉
[ax] It's certainly causing me a bit of anxiety.
[al] Land Operations
Rail Movement
(1) HQ Zhukov rails from Manchuria to Stalino in Ukraine.
Land Movement, Red Army
(2) HQ Yeremenko advances into the hex vacated by Zhukov.
(3) Cavalry forces around the juncture of Manchuria, Korea, and the Soviet Union move inland to form a defensive line in the mountains.
(4) Red Army forces in Manchuria break their encirclement of Harbin, advancing out of Tsitsihar to form up a defensive line along the Songhua. (Two corps are still on the "wrong" side of the Songhua.)
(5) 14th Army (3-3 INF) advances towards Latvia, while the divisions from last turn's broken-down army move back into Belorussia.
(6) HQ Timoshenko hooks around the eastern edge of the Pripets.
Land Movement, KMT & CCCP
(7) KMT 8th Army (3-3 INF) withdraws back towards Kunming from the Indochinese frontier.
{Looks like the Soviets are pull back to the north in Manchuria and Zuhkov HQ-A was railed out to Europe. It's definitely an interesting dynamic for Germany-Japan vs USSR, which seems balanced on a knife edge.}

USSR
(1) 2 lnd3 fly from Tsitsihar to Chita.
(2) ftr2 in Manchuria moves to better position for intercepts.
Commonwealth
