Mayhemizer vs AllenK: The rematch

[AllenK]

Cape St Vincnt.

The remaining organised RM sub initiates combat. Searches RM 6, RN 2. The Allies avoid combat.

West Med

A German Nav initiates combat. Searches Axis 7, Allies 2. The Allies avoid combat.

The RAF flies a ground-strike. Do the LW wish to party?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

No thank you.

[AllenK]

It proves a wise choice as the Battles demonstrate why it is likely they may well shortly find themselves in the reserve pool (or scrapped!).

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Bad rolls for ground striking, excellent rolls for land combat...

[AllenK]

USSR continues the process of railing the Sib Inf westwards.

USSR and China shuffle some units about.

The French retreat as best they can to try and reform a line. The gaps, however, are starting to appear.

Yep, all the right rolls but not necessarily in the right order.

[AllenK]

The French launch a desperate counter-attack. I presume the Luftwaffe will wish to support their ground colleagues?

Which table would the Axis care to choose?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

What are current odds?

[AllenK]

47:10 +6.4.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I choose assault. I bring them all. Land bf109 with Para, Stuka in Brussels, He111H with 2Arm and He111 with 9-4 Inf.

Fight hard German heroes!

Edit: bf109 as bomber

[AllenK]

He-111 can't land on 9-4 Inf due to Me-109 in hex. Not sure where you want the He-111H to go. By 2Arm, do you mean that stack of 2 Arms and a Div next to Georges?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Exactly, one He111 with 2 Arms and a Div next to Georges.

Other He111 can go to Antwerp.

Sorry about inaccurate instructions.

[AllenK]

The attack comes at a cost but the leading German spearhead is no more.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Nice counter attack. I was kind of hoping to see entire French army face down

[AllenK]

Billotte reorgs a 6-1 Garr and 4-3 Inf.

Turn ends on a 1.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

This is not how I planned this to go...

[AllenK]

Do the Axis wish their pact marker to go offence or defence? USSR went to offence.

I was expecting too as well. I launched the attack on the basis that 3 units were pretty much cut off and out of it and could be taken as losses and hoping just to take something out in return.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Defense please. And move highest marker from offence to defense also.

[Centuur]

Well, well, well. It looks like that the French just repaired the frontlines... Ca, c'est bon, très bon...
