USSR has two AA (halved strength due to surprise) that can fire on two Axis bombers. How will they be used? If at all?

German panzer forces begin the land offensive against USSR by making two overruns. First against a 4-1 garrison where one unit was doubled by the offence to be able to get the 28:4 needed to make the overrun. Then the road was open to reach the 2-5 MECH, and it was overrun as well (19:2).

Japan makes three land attacks, and fly one aircraft is support to each attack. 17 points of shore bombardment is added to the assault on Vladivostok.

[Orm]

Germany makes 9 land attacks. Most are automatic before ground support. Two attacks in southern Poland recive some air support. Two bombers support the attack on the 3-4 CAV, and one LND2 with 6 points support the assault on the 1-3 ENG.

The Soviet AA can fire on the LND2 supporting the attack on the ENG. Current odds is 7:2. If all ground support is cleared then the odds will be 14:2, or 7:1.

Will USSR use their AA here?

Two Soviet FTR2 were overrun, and destroyed, in the region just eastwards of Brest-Litovsk. One in a combat hex, and the other was destroyed by a blitz move after combat.

Over to the Japanese attacks.
