This is a bad situation for the Axis in Western France. An error to not send a fighter to the area, but if Keith's gonna roll 19 La Rochelle is gonna fall.

Germany and Japan take land actions, naval for Italy.

Planes from the Japanese CV Akagi launch a port attack against Mackay, Australia, and the Queens.

But, already disorganised and out of supply, the Queens are only "aborted." The crew are exceptionally confused but the ships are okay. Don't think the CW can oil them though.

Status: offline 		Five Italian subs brave the massive allied invasion fleet and head from Brest to Biscay.

They find with 2, 10 and sink 4 cps (2 US). A scrambled Swordfish forces the subs to spend most surprise points to avoid damage to themselves.

In the second round 4, 4 sees the Italians attacked from the air, they are fortunate to suffer only two aborts.

In round 3 the Italians hide.

The Germans rail what they can to the north of the Loire. Von Leeb and a MOT head for La Rochelle.

Meanwhile in southern USSR, Rommel's dispersed forces look to further disrupt Soviet oil supplies. A Romanian cavalry corps occupies undefended Stalingrad.

La Rochelle must be retaken. A disorganised Wavell to the south cannot offer support. All the air cover on both sides is blown.

To retreat across the Loire would be to concede the invasion and a two front war from hereon.

And so La Rochelle changes hands again. Bordeaux remains open to the Americans.

The Germans have taken losses this impulse. It has been bloody for the Allies too.

Japan combined, Germany and Italy land.

The Japanese shift a carrier to Singapore from Coral Sea and move an infantry division to Truk.

Their naval searches fail. The American sub in Solomons does not want to play. But Allied cps in the Pacific have taken a hammering. Australia cannot be supplied with oil.

More in hope than expectation the Japanese ground strike Stilwell, but manage only to rattle the general's tea tray.

Status: offline 		Only two attacks.

Rommel's army group is dispersed but has taken Grozny and disrupted the flow of oil from Baku also.

There is a blitz attack in the Don bend. An indifferent roll of 9 retreats the Rostov militia (Rostov has been occupied by an SS division) and destroys a disorganised MiG1 fighter.

Another theatre where the next initiative will matter.

Italians obvs roll 7 and lose a Mot Div. But another is on its way around the Gulf of Sirte. Jerusalem would be quite a prize. Papa would be impressed, surely.

Indian Ocean. The Japanese control NEI, Malaya, Singapore, Burma.

A substantial RN fleet approaches the theatre.

Axis relieved to win the initiative. Japan naval, Germany and Italy land.

The Japanese put a large combined fleet with 4 carriers, troops aboard landing boats, and additional air cover in Bay of Bengal.

They destroy more CW (Dutch) cps in Tasman sea (2 subs sink 1 cp) and East Indian Ocean (where the heavy cruiser Mogami sinks 2 cps). The US sub in Solomons hides.

Status: offline 		AXIS #3 JULY/AUG 42

The Allies counter-attacked in western France, at the cost of Eisenhower's HQ and two strong German units, a Mech and a Mot, shattered.

Soviet ground strikes against the Germans in northern Russia fail, but a Finnish fighter is shot down.

The Reds pull back again, looking powerful still around Moscow and in the centre, but the south and the oilfields have been more or less surrendered.

The Axis all take land actions.

There is air combat above Yeremenko's HQ as the Luftwaffe attempt a ground strike.

Japanese carrier planes from the CV Soryu miss all three Indian Army units in Chittagong.

In a strike in north China, only an infantry division is hit in the Chi Comm column farthest west.

The Germans advance to the Don River. Manstein launches two attacks in the south, in the north Vologda is assaulted.

A couple more Allied units have landed at Bordeaux, including some decent US armour.
