		 Allied Turn October 15, 1941      Previous Axis Turn:   Mud in Europe/Ukraine.  Rain & Mud in Russia. Storms in the Atlantic      A German U-boat (str 7, lvl 2) attacks a UK Destroyer (str 10, lvl 1) and does 3 damage while only taking 2 back.      An Italian Medium Bomber in Iraq strikes the Indian Corps in Basra and takes a hit from AA fire.      The Russian Corps in Gomel is not protected by the rain and the overcast clouds only dispense wave after wave of Stukas which eventually shatter the defenders.      The cut off Russian Corps outside of Rowno is destroyed, but not without first doing 2 more damage to the Hungarian Army (str 7, lvl 0) in the area.      The plucky Corps defending Odessa comes under heavy attack, including 2 Medium Bombers, 1 Tactical Bomber and multiple ground units including a Garrison at the end.   They manage to hang on, just barely, at 1 strength while inflicting 1 point of damage to a German Corps (str 11, lvl 2), a Romanian Corps (str 10, lvl 2) and a Romanian Army (str 10, lvl 0).      Spain continues to be wooed by the Axis (+9% diplo hit).         Allied Turn   Mud in Europe/Ukraine.  Clear in Russia.  Clear in Finland.  Clear in the Atlantic.  Clear in Canada and America.      The survivors from Odessa, board transports and evacuate the city.      The Soviet Armored Train does another point of damage to a Finnish Corps (str 6, lvl 2), but also provides it a pip of experience.      The pods of Iron Whales in the New England and Nova Scotia waters is increasing.  US and Canadian Whaling vessels identify 5 pods of German descent and 1 of Italian.      HMS Formidable forces U-73 (str 8, lvl 2) to dive, HMS Salmon re-finds U-73 and Formidable does 1 damage to the sub while taking 1 damage to her air wing.   HMS Glorious whiffs and forces a dive out of U-73.  Salmon finds her again, this time too far away to be attacked from the waters south of Charlottetown.   HMS Ark Royal though tries her luck and forces a dive out of U-73, again to be found by Salmon.  Too far away for a 2nd strike Ark Royal targets the Italian sub hits it for 1 damage.   HMS Javelin forces U-73 to dive yet again.   HMCS Saguenay is sent to try her luck against the suspected heavily damaged U-boat.  She identifies U-47 (str 5, lvl 2) as the suspected damaged sub and aggressively goes after her doing 3 damage but eating a torpedo for 2 damage back.   HMCS Assiniboine comes to her aid and sinks U-47 with a well placed pattern of depth charges.  Assiniboine now has 2 subs to her list of Honors.   2 Carrier strikes do 2 damage to a U-boat south of St. Pierre et Miquelon.   ORP Blyskawica (str 10, lvl 1) forces Leonardo da Vinci (str 9) to dive, then moves next the U-114 (str 10, lvl 2) west of Boston.   HMS Lancaster (str 7, lvl 1) then lands a good hit of 2 damage on Leonardo and avoids reprisal.   USS Somers moves next to U-37 (str 11, exp 1, lvl 2), east of Long Island, and watches her.      Axis raiders shut down the Indian Convoy line again, 21 MPP lost.*      The skies deliver Rain in Russia and the Ukraine (likely Finland too), though no mud, for Germany's turn.      --------   * There is a (the last) German Heavy Cruiser raiding the line in the south.  Can it do 21 MPP worth by itself?      ** No picture this turn, as there was little movement.  Gomel fell and some creeping forward in the Ukraine.   --------         Reports Info          USA  79%          Spain  72% Axis   Netherlands 44% Allied   Vichy France 47% Axis   Algeria 54% Axis   Tunisia 60% Axis   Syria 25% Axis   Turkey 47% Axis         UK    63% Morale    USA  100% Morale    USSR  98% Morale       IT   116% Morale   GE   117% Morale          UK    9,312 MPP in combat losses    USA       0 MPP in combat losses    USSR  3,398 MPP in combat losses    FR    5,551 MPP in combat losses      GE   10,491 MPP in combat losses    IT    1,590 MPP in combat losses          UK     607 MPP lost to Subs/Raiders    USSR     0 MPP lost to Subs/Raiders    GE     231 MPP lost to Subs/Raiders           GE       1 MPP lost to Strategic Bombing (35 Allied damage to bombers)   IT       0 MPP lost to Strategic Bombing          UK    4,727 MPP on Units, 1,175 MPP on Diplomacy,   850 MPP on Tech    USA   1,206 MPP on Units,     0 MPP on Diplomacy, 4,600 MPP on Tech    USSR  3,814 MPP on Units,     0 MPP on Diplomacy, 2,450 MPP on Tech    FR    1,114 MPP on Units,   150 MPP on Diplomacy,     0 MPP on Tech      GE   12,830 MPP on Units, 1,175 MPP on Diplomacy, 2,625 MPP on Tech    IT    1,902 MPP on Units,   375 MPP on Diplomacy, 1,350 MPP on Tech          UK Income:     93 MPP (excluding Lend Lease)    US Income:    359 MPP (excluding Lend Lease) *I might have recorded the value after the Pacific lend lease, this maybe should be 399?
