The HQ Support takes it to 3:1 and the fractionals succeed (81 thrown) to take to 4:1. A 7 is thrown and there are no losses but the Chinese are Shattered. I do not convert.

Land Movement:

USSR
CAV (Mongolia) 55,138 -> 52,142
INF Murmansk -> 22,53
CAV Div 35,55 -> 34,55

China Com:
MIL 73,135 -> 75,136
WAR 69,134 -> 72,134

China Nat:
CAV Sian -> 74,137
CAV 78,135 -> Sian
MIL 81,137 -> 80,137
MIL 88,136 -> 89,136
WAR 81,138 -> 81,137

France:
INF Metz -> 57,31
MIL Strasbourg -> Metz
CAV Paris -> 60,31

CW:
2nd Infantry Division liberate Addis Ababa, and capture the Italian supply depot.
The Kenyan Territorial Corps enters The Italian Somaliland and advance along the coast towards Mogadishu.
The 16th Indian Corps moves Westward, from Alexandria, towards the Libyan border.

It is a little annoying that I forgot to check the first part of the route that the division took towards Addis Ababa. I just assumed that it would follow the railroad. And once again I am teached a lesson that never assume anything when it comes to MWIF.

Status: offline 		On the 15th of March the 2nd infantry division moved out of Djibouti. They soon entered the route that Graziani had followed across
the Awash River. They marched first of all along the tarmac surface of the 30-foot-wide Strada Imperiale, through the hot,
scrub covered coastal flats. Every 10 miles a flamboyant kilometre post bore the name of some celebrated general who had helped
create the Empire, and every three miles a overturned Italian lorry bore witness to the fast collapse of it. After 56 miles they came
to greener country. They swept past a rather embarrassed looking Fascist Eagle which stands on the main street in a village. They
passed a house at the nearby crossroads where the Italians had improvised defences with old Chianti bottles. The Strada Imperiale
had faded out, the roads grew rapidly worse, but the division never paused. They swept across the East African Rift and
past a broken statue of Mussolini which, chinless and bullet-riddled, stands in the deserted land like the bust of Ozymandias, King
of Kings. They climbed some 7,700 feet, and marched some 700 miles. Despite the numerous defensive positions, and landmines in
abundance, the division reached Addis Ababa in what could be considered the fastest pursuit in history.

A SUB moves to the Faroes Gap 1-box and initiates combat.

Axis - 1

The CW show 2 aborted. As the better defence I put De Ruyter in the firing line on behalf of the CW player.

The throws were 10 and 9.

No combat. Where does Tromp abort to?

Edit: Okay to keep the game moving, and to try and get the impulse done before work, I've aborted to Belfast.

Strategic Bombardment: None
Ground Strike: None

Rail Movement: None
Land Movement:
Japan

A MAR DIV takes Yenan. The US maybe didn't get the memo (a 10 is thrown). The same communication issue appears to have happened following the taking of Ningsia (a 6 is thrown).

Germany

A MIL heads for Poland

Italy

There is some adjustment to the front line on the French border and a MIL heads for Nice. The Eritrean TERR moves to Asmara

Land Combat: None

Air Rebase:
Japan

The two FTR in China re-position slightly to take account of the changing front line

Germany

A bomber moves to Saarbrucken

Reorganisation: None

End of Turn: Turn ends on less than a 2. It continues on a 3
