The Soviets decide to choose the Assault table. Of course, I don't convert to a retreat, since that would mean that the stack with Koniev might remain in supply after this attack:

Status: offline 		The next attack chosen for resolution is the hex the PARA landed in. Aided with ARM, this should become a peace of cake. The Soviets however, decide to see if they can bleed the German forces and choose the Blitzkrieg table:

Status: offline 		Well, one can't have everything, can we, was von Rundstedt reaction on this result. However von Rundstedt reorganises a Stuka and four land units, before he returns for a wel earned leave of absence to his family in Germany (disorganised due to the expense of the offensive chit).

The CW rails two units which arrived in India last turn towards the east. The US improves positions in Marocco and moves a MAR into Papua. The CW, aided by Mac Arthur, moves towards Darwin and improves positions on the Indian-Burmese border.

Status: offline 		May/June 1943, Axis impulse number 5:

In Berlin, the attack in south Portugal by the US Para's was a shock. The reaction has to come quickly, by sending more troops into Spain.

Japan and Germany take land actions, Italy takes an air action.

Listen to: Evelyn Künneke - Im Hotel ist jeder Tag ein Freitag

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJOwoG0JjvE

The Italian fly a FTR into the Cape St. Vincent. They decide to initiate combat in the sea area. Germany decide to fly in an additional frying boat and the CW adds another Beaufighter in the sea area. Axis roll 8 and the Allies roll a 1. The Allies decide to avoid combat, since there are loaded TRS in the sea area.

Dorniers and Heinkel bombers appear above the skies of Southhampton. There are no Allied FTR's available to disrupt the attack on the precious industrial areas:

Status: offline 		In the Ural Mountains, the Wehrmacht wants to eliminate the last defenders. The Political Commissar in charge orders the man to stand and fight, using the Assualt table. I forgot to make a picture of this attack. It was a +11, a 6 was rolled, resulting in a loss of an 8-4 German INF and the defending units. The attack force is disorganised.

Status: offline 		May/June 1943, Allied impulse number 6

Eisenhower, hearing of the total mess in which the US airborne army has landed, is astonished. The disruption of both corps means that the capture of the Portuguese coast can't be done. The units, waiting at sea can't be unloaded there. Also, the British TRS waiting in the UK were intended to pick up units in Morocco and put them in the captured coastline. This would add up to 5 corps, included Clark. Now this plan lies in shambles. This is a real disappointment, since the goal of this attack was to open a northern approach towards Gibraltar. And the fast reserves of the Wehrmacht in the area are quickly approaching the beachhead...
