save 0 IPC

Combat Move
for demo purposes, we’ll say all the FTR (fighter) on CV (aircraft carrier) are in fact the optional unit NAV (naval fighters)

SS @ z46 -> z52
BB @ z60 -> z52 (note there is no point in bringing the TP in z60, hits are allocated on TP last)
CV + DD + NAV @ z50 -> z60

CV @ z37 -> z52 (note CV moves at 3, making it impossible to chase with BB)
NAV @ z37 -> z52 (note NAV do not have to be launched before movement of CV, however it has moves at 2 making it stay with the fleet)

2 INF 1 FTR  @ man -> chi
3 INF @ kwa -> chi
2 INF 1 FTR @ fic -> chi

J1-combat-move.AAM

now all Axis has declared their combat move and waiting to perform conduct combat together
Allies is passive but maybe declare combat reinforcements for air or land units

USSR:
2 FTR @ cau -> ukr (air units arrive immediately to adjacent territory)
6 INF @ cau -> ukr (land units arrive at 2nd cycle of combat)

oh we’ll add an air attack on bryatia
FTR + BMR @ jpn -> bry
