AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR

[Admiral Delabroglio]

Well, if you re-produce the MIL, it goes to the home town too. The shattered GAR reappears wherever you can place it. But I may be speaking of things I have no knowledge of, I still haven't read the thread to the end.

France is expected to fall so the disaster is to be expected.
On the other hand, Egypt didn't and the Axis never really threatenent the Suez Canal.

Good luck

Reinforcements J/A 1940

[AllenK]

J/A 1940

Initiative - Axis 3, Allied 9. Axis go for a re-roll. Axis 1, Allied 5. Needn't have bothered. Allies to go first.

Weather roll of 3. Fine except rain in Nth Monsoon.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

J/A 1940 Allied 1

France just got lucky! They try to reform line before new attack.

No DoW.

CW combined, France, USSR and China land, US pass.

USSR makes a port attack to Korea. Result is weak, with 2 surprise points USSR gets result A but transporter is not disorganized.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

CW almost evacuated Egypt before they realized that ARM HQ is still alone in Egypt and now OOS. Time to ground strike and maybe attack again...

CW subs sails to Mediterranean and are waiting for Italian convoys. Fleet sails to North Sea, including The Queens with Mot div.

No naval combat is started.

CW ground strikes in Egypt and USSR in Manchuria.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

TB-3 hits Mary but misses primary target INF.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Graziani is disorganized!

[AllenK]

How about emergency HQ supply? Balbo should be able to put the Ftr's and Graziani back in supply.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I think he can put fighters but not Graziani back in supply. Balbo is 4 hexes away from Graziani with HQ value 3. And I have Spitfire waiting.

[AllenK]

Okay, leave it for now. I want Emergency HQ support to put the two Ftr's in supply for Ground Support. Thanks

[AlbertN]

Ugh Italy has not left a convoy or something in the sea to enable supply?
8 BPs lost is a heavy loss for Italy economics!

France seems to have got a ton of reinforcements (many shattered units) and the 1940 production model by what I saw above pretty much warrant my predicted outcome even more.

I believe in MWiF the Soviets should not be able to DoW the Japanese, as it allows the Allies to dictate the pace of the game and how it goes, and not the Axis in the "opening years". But that is just my opinion.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

2 fighters and MOT? 3 units needs to be selected. Falco in not in range to fly as bomber, so Macchi gets fighter escort.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

French 5-1 GAR is attacking German MOT with odds +1,2. Does Germany want to give HQ support or fly bombers?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Hi Cohen,

CW subs managed to sink Italian convoys at the end of last turn. I got super lucky by winning initiative.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

USSR rails MIL to Manchuria and another one to western front.

CW territorial enters Eritrea.

Mot div debarks to Denmark.

CW attacks in Egypt (+10 before ground support). And now I realize I forgot to do one important ground strike somewhere else. Maybe next impulse...
France is trying desperate attack with one unit that cannot retreat fast enough.

[AllenK]

Use the Mot as the additional unit.

No thanks for the Garr attack.

[AlbertN]

Ah, missed the sinking of convoys then.

France defence looks pretty solid again, and Axis is out of O-Chits.
A shame there are no O-Points in MWiF. I've got good feedback on them from people who play on Vassal.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

There will be a very important air to air combat in Egypt.
