CW has a res from Dutch Guyana that (as it was last turn) is going into CVB and preventing the North Rhodesia res from routing through there so they are at 21. I'll "fix" this during CW prod to add 1 BP bringing them to 22. Pic attached.

I took a look at the CW resource transportation. The trouble, for me, was that one oil going from Canada did go through The Bay of Biscay, instead of the Faeroes Gap. Once that was changed it was just changing oil from being saved in UK to being saved in Canada, or to be produced for in UK.

With that said I have no trouble with editing a BP to CW instead. Just make sure that CPs isn't used to transport a oil resource to be saved in UK that should be used to transport that resource for production.

Changes to lending:
FF 1 res to SU, stop 1 res to CH (no lending to CH)
CW 1 res to SU

Strange. Usually those kind of rolls are reserved for naval combat!

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Good one! [:D]

2 sub searches in E Med & ItC - need axis air reaction for both. ItC will be searched first. Thanks.

From Malta put GE FTR2 with 3 str in O-box in Italian coast. Put Lnd3 (or 2?) from Malta in O-box in East Med. Plz

[jjdenver]

ItC: ax 5, al 3 = 5 surp for allies vs 0 box. 4 to choose sub combat. IT cp aborted to la spezia (sub dives 2nd round).
E Med: at time of combat the planes in Malta are OOS so can't react. Instead IT sends FTR to 0 box. ax 5, al 3 = 4 surp for allies vs 0 box. 4 to choose sub combat. IT cp aborted to la spezia (sub dives 2nd round).

Strategic bombing

CW bombs Prague with Blenheim on night mission (Bf110C can intercept).
USSR bombs Sapporo with Pe-8 on night mission (2x CVP can intercept).

Any takers?

[Orm]

The German FTR3 intercepts the bomber, and stay as long as possible. Lands on the hex it flew from, if it survives.

Japan intercept with the size 2 CVP (D3A1). It stays as well, and land on the CV it flew from.

[peskpesk]

Two send D3A1 and Bf110C, plz. Dam, Orm beat me to it... Ignore post.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Sad news for CW.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

In Japan rolls are 9 and 10, bomber cleared.

Bombing raid was failure, rolled 1.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

USSR makes another attempt to kill TERR and ground strikes it hard (IL-4 extended range).

Will Japan send any planes? USSR has one fighter in range.

[Orm]

Japan will intercept with the CVP.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

USSR sends fighter.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Japan chooses a bomber to be cleared through.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Ignore first roll "11", I reloaded and put some number to that.

USSR aborts at this point, no need to risk good bomber.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Artillery misses again, but IL-4 shows how to do it!
