Bob Flemin' and Orm. A World....AARseIII

[Orm]

I take the militia and the division as losses.

Then you can retreat the infantry corps through the Belgian units in Antwerp or shatter it.

Edit: How much do you want for your die? You want to trade it with mine? [;)][:D]

I'll take your strategic bombing, naval interception and initiative dice - I'll pay top dollar!

In all seriousness - I think whilst I got lucky with the dice, the need to spend an Offensive Chit is a massive win for the Allies.

Indeed. I am all smiles so I can make jokes about dies. [:D]

Edit: Naval interception? I must have forgotten something. [&:][:)]

Mar/Apr 1940
Impulse: 5

So here is the result. The 7-3 get to live another day sadly and I still have to get through Belgium before thinking about France...

[warspite1]

Mar/Apr 1940
Impulse: 5

A couple of air rebases for the Germans and one for the Japanese. HQ reorganisaton for von Leeb and von Bock.

And that brings that impulse to an end.

[composer99]

I see a stall along the Dyle coming.

[warspite1]

I think I'll file that in the "No $%^& Sherlock" compartment [:D]

[Orm]

Mar/Apr 1940
Impulse: 8

No declarations of war.

Both CW and France take land impulses.

No Port Strikes. No naval air.

USA transfer three battleships from the East Coast to the West Coast.

No strategic bombing. No ground strikes.

CW and French forces move into Belgium.

CW rebase two fighters to Belgium/France.

No land combats. No reorganization.

Edit: End of Turn roll was a three so the turn continues.

[Orm]

New weather roll was a six.

Mar/Apr 1940
Impulse: 11

Oh good - its raining....[:(]

I cannot get anything more than a 2:1 in Belgium so that ends any thoughts of progressing there.

The Japanese do a Land and the other two a Naval.

The Italians put FTR and NAV into the Western Mediterranean. The Germans put a floatplane into the North Sea - well by that I mean in the skies above the sea zones hopefully.....

The Kriegsmarine head for the North Sea along with supporting U-boats.

For the RM, a cruiser heads for the Eastern Mediterranean. A TRS lands in Tobruk with a TERR and the rest of the RM heads for the Western Med.

[warspite1]

Mar/Apr 1940
Impulse: 11

In the Eastern Med throws are still rubbish and there is no combat.

In the Western Med the Italians actually find someone - Hussah! They have 10 surprise points too. The Italians use these to increase their combat odds and to choose the target. This wastes a surprise point unfortunately.

The Italians choose the TRS as their target and she is destroyed. The French get the choice now. How do the CW want to play this?

[warspite1]

Mar/Apr 1940
Impulse: 11

Right, in the interests of moving the game along I will choose for Orm with rationale.

I will choose the cruiser first as the this is the least valuable of the remaining assets. The cruiser is destroyed.

That leaves attacks against the convoys. I do not understand how the rest of this played out. There was a damaged effect against a convoy but this is shown as destroyed. The last two convoys show as aborted.

In return the light cruiser Bari was aborted to La Spezia

I abort the French convoy to Oran and the Danish to Gibraltar.

[warspite1]

Mar/Apr 1940
Impulse: 11

Over to the North Sea now. The Germans have no air units they want to bring in. What about the CW/French?

[Orm]

No, thank you.

[warspite1]

Mar/Apr 1940
Impulse: 11

Throws of 9 and 8 mean that there is no combat in the North Sea.

In the absence of any ground fighting, the desperate Japanese try again at Strategic Bombing - switching their attention to Siam. A 7 is thrown and the Chinese lose a Production Point.

[warspite1]

Mar/Apr 1940
Impulse: 11

The Japanese use their one air mission left to try and ground strike the Militia unit in the mountains.

Amazingly it proves successful.

[warspite1]

Mar/Apr 1940
Impulse: 11

Just one attack is declared; against the Militia unit in the mountains.

This is an automatic attack

[warspite1]

Mar/Apr 1940
Impulse: 11

One air re-base of a FTR by Germany on the Western Front, nothing else to report.

The turn continues on a role of 9.

[Orm]

The Allies all pass despite the objections from CW. The turn has a 90% chance to end and the turn ends with a die roll of 7.

Another %¤&%¤% partisan appear in India. It is not like there could appear a partisan in China, oh no, then that would be to the advantage of the Allies. [:@][;)]

Will you mail me your end of turn orders?
