Mayhemizer vs AllenK: The rematch

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Japan aligns Siam, roll 8 and US is not interested.

Germany fly with Bf110 to North Sea box 2 to cover ships.
Italy fly with FTR and NAV to Eastern Med box 2.

Italian sub sails to Red Sea box 2.

Does Allies want to initiate combat in North Sea?

[AllenK]

I think we'll let sleeping dogs lie for the time being.

[AllenK]

Just out of interest, what were the action choices?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

German ground strike does not help at all land forces.

Just out of interest, what were the action choices?

Sorry, I forgot to mention.

Japan and Germany land, Italy combined.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

No luck for Japs.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

This was a close one.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany rails INF from Denmark to Frankfurt and INF div from Poland to Dusseldorf.
Japan rails Seoul MIL to Peking.

Germany declares two land combats in Belgium. Rundstedt is attacking Antwerp and uses attacking HQ support. Last Stuka is also bombing Antwerp.
Japan attacks partisans in Tsingtao with support of full shore bombardment and two carrier planes bombing.

Only Antwerp combat needs a roll.

EDIT: Does Allies choose assault in Antwerp?

[AllenK]

Yes thanks

[Mayhemizer_slith]

German high command is happy. Nice mediocre roll. Rolls for automatic victories were 16 and 5.

I guess 5-3 INF shattered?

[AllenK]

Yes thanks

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Belgian fighter in Antwerp is overrun and destroyed.

Germany rebases Ju88 and He111 from Poland to Belgian front.

Poland and Belgium after impulse 1, J/F 1940.

US & USSR Combined. France & China Land, CW Naval.

P-40 to North Sea 2-box.

[AllenK]

Various CW ships head out on escort duties. 4BB and a CL join the 3 CL in the North Sea 2-box. 4BB to West Med 3-box plus CA to 4-box. Two loaded Trans head from London into the North Sea. A German CL tries to intercept. It narrowly misses (3 rolled). The Trans continue to Cape St Vincent 1-box.

The US ships a 40mm AA towards Pearl and two subs head out to sea.

One sea area available for combat.

[AllenK]

The CW initiate searching and add the Vildebeast to the 2-box. Do the Germans wish to add any aircraft to the agenda?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Thank you for asking NAV is happy to join the party, box 2.

[AllenK]

My default 10 and 9 naval search rolls ensure another non-event.

Hampdens, escorted by Spit 1's fly a ground-strike to Antwerp. The French fly a similar escorted mission to 53,32 in Belgium. Do the Luftwaffe wish to contest these? 5-point Me-109 available for the RAF effort and 4-point Me-109 for the French.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

5 factor fighter will intercept French planes. I will stay as long as possible in combat.

If I can choose abort, I choose fighter MS 406.
If I can choose destroy, I choose bomber LeO 451.

My fighter will land Antwerp.
