Damn the Chinese have the choice - I thought the MECH would give the Japanese the decision. Oh dear. It's 2:1 no modifiers on the Assault table, although Fractional odds make it 3:1. I'll need to read up on Fractional odds. This was barely a 2:1 so I do not understand why Fractional Odds would work....

...Wow! But its a 10 anyway! Both Chinese destroyed. The Chinese front has exploded into life....

And the turn ends on a 7.

A French Partisan is received that I am told to place on a hex with a disorganised German aircraft. The aircraft - a Bf-110 - is destroyed.

It seems no matter what I do I cannot get Tension up [:-][:-]

The odds was 2.3 to 1 and that gives 2 to 1 with a 30% chance of it to become 3 to 1 instead. The program rolled lower than 0.3 hence the odds was increased.

Some terrains, like mountains and cities, always gives the defender the choice of combat tables. This regardless of armoured, or mechanized, units.

Okay thanks. I stupidly assumed fractional odds were where the fractions were in the majority and could take, for example, a 2.8 to 3.0.

This game is toooo difficult!! anybody want to play Snakes and Ladders? [:D]

I was trying to land two British Army units in Western France but the program would not accept the TRS or land unit in France. Only after some minutes, and much wailing and gnashing of teeth did I remember that I already have British units is France in the north. The program has allowed the exact number [8|]

Why did you rearrange the French lines after the German breakthrough? You should have ran away towards the Toulouse area with the best units and leave a couple of sacrifices for the German army to chew up, after putting a large garrison in Lyons. Let the Germans try to crack that city with double defense. Will cost them time and probably money...

You can't hold any line with France, after Paris is taken. All resistance in clear hexes is futile, IMHO...

Maybe - but part of the think was:

a) there were still enough units (just) to hold a line, thus attacks could only be launched from 2-hexes.
b) it was a winter/spring turn so a good chance of attacks being difficult
c) most of all that in addition to the above it was a river line being held.

Turns do not come much bigger than this!!

The three best ground attack aircraft in the Luftwaffe arsenal are called aloft to try and smash French resistance between the Loire and the Seine. It would be easy to over extend German forces here, but they do need to mix caution with speed.

There are four attacks declared in France, two in central France, one against the annoying and costly Partisan and one against the British Army.

In China there are two attacks.

This is going to be BIG!

In Boulogne both sides have committed all they can. The air battle is 7.5:6.2 in favour of the Germans, but they need BOTH bombers through to affect the odds...
