After a frantic signal from Luftwaffe High Command, the other fighter was launched into the fray, also in the 1-box.

Edit: I was concentrating on setting up the graphic and Allied intercept ranges, so didn't see Mayhemizer's post until I had posted.

The two Spitfires in Liverpool escort the convoys in the 0-box.

Italian sub stays deep.

Searches: Axis 9, Allies 8. The Ocean can be a big place in which to hide ships.

No Strategic air.

Japanese 105 mm's and a Lnd try a ground-strike at Sian. The results are about as much as could realistically be hoped for.

Kyoto Mil rails to Tungkwan.

The Japs occupy Nanchung (7 rolled so no US Entry effects) and move another Inf towards Changsa. In the north 2nd Mot moves back towards Sian, it's place in the mountains taken by an Eng Div.

We'll need to finish here for the evening as Mayhemizer will want to orchestrate the German land moves.

German forces push deep into Spain but there is a lull in the combat.

In fact, the only land combat this impulse will be in China, where the Japanese have a go at Sian.

The attackers request HQ Support from Yamamoto. 4 points of ground support (2 aircraft) are added.

In a hopeless case of Chinese (or in this case Japanese) whispers, the commander of the attack is less than impressed when he receives the following reply from Gen Yamamoto.

"Re your request STOP. Am somewhat perplexed as to how this will help but, as requested, cheque enclosed for three and four pence STOP. Good luck with the attack STOP. XXX Yamamoto (8 rolled)."

Final odds. Do the Communists wish an assault or blitz?

Despite the confusion, the attack goes well.

Japanese elect not to convert to Retreat. Shatter the 8th RTE I presume?

The occupation of Sian doesn't produce much reaction in the US (4 rolled).

The Japs rebase a fighter from Japan to Sian.

German rebase missions:
He100 to Bordeaux
Stuka to Madrid
Bf110 to west of Madrid (same hex with MIL)
Ju88 to NW of Cartagena

Back to Allies.

No declarations of war.

Land: China
Combined: USSR, USA, CW
Naval: France

No Port Strikes.

CW fly a FTR3 to the Bay of BIscay. CW also send the Indian fighter squadron stationed at Malta to the West Med.

USA begin transfering the Pacific fleet to Pearl Harbour.

France sail with a convoy from Syria. Will the Italian cruiser squadron attempt to intercept it?

The Italian cruisers sail on a intercept course (die roll: 1). But the French convoy elects to stay in the sea area.
