The Allies declare 1 attack at Tripoli using IV Mot and Manchester Mil. It goes in at 11:1 +21. The roll of 7 doesn't matter. The Garr is destroyed and Tripoli captured.

No reorgs.

Turn ends on a 2.

No partisans.

US entry chit goes to the Ge/It pool. US gears up production. An 8 shifts 1 chit from the Ge/IT entry to tension pool.

North Atlantic:
Axis 9, Allies 3. No combat.

Cape St. Vincent:
Axis 10, Allies 2.

Allies have 9 surprise points. Do Allies want to avoid combat or take NE and use all points to cause X?

In West Med Italy initiates combat and sends NAV to box 2. Axis will have FTR and NAV in box 2, Allies have 2x French CL in box 3. Do CW want to fly any planes to West Med?

In Baltic Sea Germany will intercept 5 factor FTR to box 0. Do USSR want to fly their FTR from Leningrad? Edit: probably not, it can reach box 0 only.

Japan retreats in China. No land combats.

Japan rebases FTR in Korea by 1 hex.

Germany rebases He100 to La Spezia. FTR from Königsberg rebases 9 hexes east.

Italy rebases G.50 to Genoa.

Back to Allies.

S/O 40 Allies 3

No DoW

CW & France, Naval. USSR & China, Land. US Combined.

US brings a couple of Trans back from Pago Pago.

Aside from the usual escort moves, CW sends 2 CV and 5 CA/CL to North Atlantic 3-box. 2 CVL, 2 BB and 2 extra CL go to the 0-box. Queens move to Mozambique channel 0-box and load 1st SA Inf. Trans sails from Plymouth to St. Vincent 0-box with Inf.

Allies decline combat in West Med but initiate in Nth Atlantic. Do the Axis wish to engage or skulk about in the deep?

USSR rails a factory from Tula to Tiflis and a Mil from way east to Krasnodar.

The Nationalists stay put. The Communists make some minor moves. USSR continues to retreat in the north but is getting a line together in the South, along the Don. In Manchuria a Cav Div and Inf move up to the front.

No combats.

A Soviet Ftr and Lnd rebase out of Mukden to ease congestion (stacking limits). CW rebases 2 Lnd to Malta and Ftr-3 to Tripoli.

No reorgs.

Weather doesn't ease up much.

J/A 40 Axis 5

No DoW

Germany land, Italy and Japan combined

Italy sends another FTR to West Med box 2.

Japanese Trans takes Hiroshima MIL from Japan to Vladivostok. Empty Japanese AMPH goes to China Sea box 1.

Italy declines combat in North Atlantic but goes after French ships in West Med.

I assume CW don't send any planes as they have not done before and I move on.

Axis 7, Allies 4. No combat.

Germany rails artillery and INF to Novgorod and MIL to Kharkov. Germany advances few hexes and prepares to destroy surrounded MIL and artillery.

Japan takes resource hex near Vladivostok and adjusts line Manchuria and Korea.

Germany decides not to attack, fine weather for next impulse please.

Germany rebases FTR2, FTR3 and Stuka near Moscow, FTR2 to Stalino.
Italy rebases LND to East Prussia.

No reorganization.

We discussed Carpet Bombing some (me and my friend) and sort of agreed to not bombard HQs.
By how the game works, it's just silly suddenly a whole zone turns out of supply because you nuked the local HQ (nuked as per strat-bombed via Carpet Bombing).

Given one requires some luck there in the end of the day (to nail 2 units and such) but it is still something pretty crippling.

I've always thought the Soviets possibly vaporized more small-medium sized units with massed Artillery than the USAAF did with their rarely-used-tactically heavy bombers.
