Mayhemizer vs AllenK: The rematch

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany takes 2A and uses all 10 points to increase own damage.

How does Allies choose targets?

Edit: Where does ships abort from North Atlantic?

[AllenK]

First X on the CA. If it survives that, then 2nd X. Otherwise, 2nd X on the CL. D and A on the CP's.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Just making sure: CA took both X's. D and A to CP or CL?

[AllenK]

Unexpected. Put the D on the CL and abort it if it is damaged. If it doesn't get damaged then a CP will have to abort. Back to Liverpool.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Allied losses in picture.

German CL Köln is aborted and BB took 1/2 abort.

Both sides want to stay and fight.

[AllenK]

Stay and fight.

Two of the 1's occurred in relatively unimportant areas and one of them when the only Allied shipping was in the 0-box. The 3 and 4 came to naught.

[Jagdtiger14]

As one of my gaming buddies says: "its not what your dice roll, its when.

[AllenK]

I make all the right rolls but not necessarily in the right order.

[AllenK]

M/A 40 Allied 7

No DoW

All combined except CW naval, Chinese Land.

The French put 2 CP's and a Trans from Marseille into the West Med 0-box. The Trans picks up the Mot Div from Algeria

The RN put 2 subs in Italian Coast 3-box. Various CP's are sent out to get production running as best as possible. Various escort casualties are replaced. 3 BB go to North Atlantic 2-box. 2 x CL go to the 1 and 4 boxes.

Trans brings Sydney Mil to Suez.

CV and 2 CA moves to East Med. Does Italy wish to intercept?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Intercept, use some FTR or CL.

When combat begins Germany will intercept with NAV to Italian Coast box 0. Axis will initiate combat in Eastern Med and North Atlantic.

Can't remember, but if Italy has available FTR in Libya it will Intercept Eastern Med box 0. Maybe I have done that already.

[AllenK]

To move things along, I am going to assume yes. The worst CL is used to make the attempt. On a 5 the interception doesn't succeed. The task force stops in the West Med 2-box.

CV Courageous returns to Liverpool. A Trans loads the Garr at Gibraltar and heads to the West Med 2-box.

4 areas for naval combat.

[AllenK]

CA Sheffield initiates combat. The German Nav flies to the 0-box. It needn't have bothered as they Allies throw a 7. The Axis roll was also a 7.

Red Sea and Biscay are declined.

A CL from the 0-box initiates in the North Atlantic. I assume Mayhemizer will include the sub. The Allies roll a 4 and fail to find and, of course, the Axis roll a 10 when it doesn't matter.

Does the U-boat in Biscay wish to initiate combat?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

No thanks. I think it can't find anything in storm from box 1. It was not included to combat last impulse on roll 1.

If it is possible to find, then I initiate. (Try with set dice if it is possible).

[AllenK]

The CP points should give -2 to the die roll, so search would succeed on 1 or 2.

Edit: -2 doesn't apply in Storm or Blizzard, so no intercept.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Do they in storm? Last impulse I rolled 1 and box 1 (a sub and two ships) was not included to combat.

[AllenK]

Marseille Mil rails back to Marseille.

A Siberian Inf rails away west from Vladivostok.

Some Russian units move closer to the Polish border.

The French Mot disembarks at Toulon.

RAF P-40 moves to Plymouth.

Another non-event of an impulse thanks to naval rolls comes to an end.

Turn continues on an 8.

Weather improves a bit.
