AXIS #2 MAY/JUN 41
The near-loss of Guderian occurred in Axis #2. Italy took a naval move, tried to sneak the German HQ-A to North Africa under the protection of the fleet and air cover. All naval searches failed, Axis missing some juicy sub warfare opportunities in the Atlantic, except this one by the RN.

A substantial under-performance by the Italian air force. All but 2 CW bombing factors were cancelled by the Italian fleet's AAA, but this was enough to deliver a damage and half-abort result to the TRS.
Thankfully the next round of searches failed and Guderian survived, to reappear next turn.

Land actions by Japan and Germany were more successful.
Umezu destroyed Chiang's HQ with the assistance of attacking HQ support.

In the north, the Japanese cleared more Communists from the mountains north of Tungkwan.

Rumanian cavalry occupied Zagreb. Rommel and Antonescu launched two automatic attacks.

AXIS #4 MAY/JUNE 1941
No action resulted from Allied naval searches in the previous impulse.
Italy and Japan take land actions, Germany a combined. Germany wants to mop up Yugoslavia, take a shot at some vulnerable-looking Atlantic convoy routes, and shift some aircraft.
But the wolf packs don't find in North Atlantic (10, 9) and Biscay (7, 4). The only naval search that finds (4, 10) is triggered by a Stuka looking for a CW cp that has strayed into the Italian Coast.
The recently-repaired battleship Littorio is patrolling in the 4 box and duly destroys the convoy.
In all, a disappointing return.

Yamamoto tries to clear the valley NW of Tungkwan with a low-odds blitz led by a Mechanised Division. An assault on Tungkwan itself is still a bit hairy.

The heavier Italian battleships are able to assist with Balbo's attack on Matruh, Egypt.

Belgrade falls to Rommel.
End of impulse.
