Mayhemizer vs AllenK: The rematch

[AllenK]

Back at Paris thanks.

Looks like it's payback time [;)]

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Dice give, dice take

Actually it was abort.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

And here comes all successful ground strikes

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Another hit

[Mayhemizer_slith]

And a double hit

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Every hex in France took a hit. Too bad my tanks are flipped...

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Once again all ground strikes fails in China (2,2,3,3)

Balbo uses supply unit in Egypt bringing all units back in supply. Italian troops advance in Egypt.
Terrotorial moves from Tunisia to Algeria. Territorials also advance all over Africa.

Japan occupies empty city of Nanchang. Roll 5 gives no reason for US to react. Same thing in city of Wuhan, roll 3.

Germany declares one attack in France, leaded by Rundstedt. Axis start carefully, this is going to be long turn.

Does France want to bring their bomber? Germany can intercept with fighter.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Some news from all over the world while we are holding our breath...

Here is situation after impulse 2 in Finland

[Mayhemizer_slith]

China

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Egypt

[Mayhemizer_slith]

And Bulgaria, almost forgot. I believe Bulgaria is begging for help in advance as they suspect something might be coming up...

No thanks

[Mayhemizer_slith]

11 would have been enough. I would had better use for 19 with Italians...

Von Bock reorganizes 2x Arm and PARA.

Here is new weather report.

[AlbertN]

Bad that there was no landing in Finland.
If the Soviets do not get a hex in Finland proper by the end of the turn Finland will wave hands, sign peace and get out of the war.

So now it all depends on the effect of the bombers in the north.

Yes, my mistake there. I hadn't cottoned on that as a non-motorized Eng unit it would be eligible to invaded from a CA until you mentioned it. It's all good learning.

J/A 40 Allies 3

No DoW

USSR & US Combined. The rest Land.

I discover the 2 US Trans sent out last impulse went without their cargoes [:@]. This is just about the most frustrating part of the interface. Time and again I click to load a unit. The game moves on as though it has been loaded only for me to subsequently find it hasn't. The number of times I've had to redo impulses on account of this. It gets rather tedious having to remember to double check each Trans move to make sure the cargo was in fact loaded properly and invariably finding it hasn't when I forget. Fortunately this time it isn't too crucial and I will live with it.

US sends a CP to put Pago Pago in supply, recalls one of the empty Trans and shifts another.

USSR puts a BB into the Baltic 3-box.

France ground strikes with the 105mm and the Potez. Nothing in range to intercept.

USSR strikes the two northern units in Finland and III Mot (escorted). Does Finland wish to intercept this?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Yes please, land to Helsinki.

[AllenK]

The Finn Fokkers dive into the approaching swarm of Soviet aircraft scattering the escorts to the winds and forcing them to abort back to Leningrad. They regroup and proceed to chase of the bombers as well.
