AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR

[AllenK]

At Haichow, the Shanghai Warlord perishes but the port is retaken.

[AllenK]

The Italian effort nearly stalls but the odds are good enough to carry them through.

[AllenK]

The assault on Lille goes pretty well (hope I shattered the right unit).

[AllenK]

The 37mm didn't stand much chance.

[AllenK]

The Japs load a CVP on Akagi and rebase 2 Ftrs from Mukden to Port Arthur.

On a 9 the turn continues.

On a 6, the weather is mostly fine.

[AlbertN]

Did I missed an airborne combat?

[Jagdtiger14]

Chinese units on the coast is never a good idea unless Japan is realing later in the game.

France falling in J/A'40 is normal, but the CW commitment to the Denmark area is not. Interesting to see what will happen.

M/J 1940 Allied 11

There will not be full pass. There will be counter attacks with high risk. I have noticed that last combat gets best result, so I have sure win for one combat.

US pass, CW combined, all other land.

CW brings CP and CL to Eastern Med to put troops in Egypt to supply. Lonely HQ asks for desperate attack. Other CL sails to Western Med.

AllenK seems to be offline, so Allies decide to initiate combat in Eastern Med to be able to move on. Allies roll 4, Axis 9 and CP is safe.

USSR ground strikes hard Mukden for easy attack and artillery hits Changchun.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Artillery hits

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Stupid air force can't hit a thing. It would been automatic victory with 2 attacking units.

[AllenK]

Good call on the East Med as I certainly would have tried to intercept.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Italian Arm HQ is under attack (5:5=0). Does Italy want to use defensive HQ support?

Edit: Egypt is doomed, I just try some something before they die...

[AllenK]

No thanks and I'll go with Blitz table.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

USSR rails Mongolian CAV next to Kirin.
Nationalist Chinese rails INF to Kaifeng.
Nationalist Chinese take empty city of Suchow.

6 land combats are declared. Japanese units are piece of cake. Attacks in France vs both lonely Arm and attack in Egypt vs lonely Arm HQ are huge gamble. Dice, please...

Does Germany want to choose blitz or assault?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

The easiest one is chosen to be the first. Which table is used?

[AllenK]

Blitz please

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I'm so happy I chose easy combat as low roll came up. Next one must be higher...

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Which table is used in Lille?

[AllenK]

Blitz thanks

[Mayhemizer_slith]

OK, that was not fun at all... Result almost makes me regret attacking.
