Impulse: 13 (Axis)

Declarations of War and Alignments: None

Japan: Land

Italy: Combined

Port Attack: None
Naval Air:
Italy

A flying boat moves to the Italian Coast 4-box
A Sparviero moves to the Italian Coast 2-box

Naval Movement:
Italy

A fleet put to sea and takes up position in the 2-box of the Italian Coast. I don't intercept as its obvious they are to remain in the sea area. Two TRS are among the fleet and they have picked up a GARR and an INF.

No combat is initiated. The CW has three subs in the area. What do they want to do?

Sep/Oct 1940
Impulse: 13 (Axis)

Strategic Bombing: None
Ground Strike:
Japan

The Japanese try and make a dent in the defender of Ankang with 2 x 1 factor bombers

Germany

A couple of 5-factor stukas attempt to ground strike southwest of Reims.

The Chinese have a fighter and the Japanese can counter intercept any interception with the 3 fighters in the picture. Do the Chinese counter?

From what I can see the French have the 3 fighters shown and the Germans/Italians can counter with those seen plus another 5-factor fighter. What do the French want to do?
