Mayhemizer vs AllenK: The rematch

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Illustrious is not eligible as there is one plane already. I landed on Furious, hope that is OK. If you want to land on Ark Royal I come back and redo it.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

More aborts follow.

Where does the last CW plane land? Ark Royal is empty and Illustrious has one plane already.

[AllenK]

Spot on with the Furious. The last plane should fit onto the Illustrious as they are both class 1.

Now, come on AA gunners, do your stuff.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

AA gunners almost aborted Italian plane.

Axis stay, I believe Allies stay too?

Edit: And no planes fly from Africa or France to West Med?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Flying those planes does not make sense so I move on.

Axis 9, Allies 8. Combat is over.

Cape St. Vincent Axis 8, Allies 6. Naval combat is over.

[AllenK]

Allies stay and no extra planes.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany ground strikes with both artillery in France.
Japan ground strikes HQ (Mao) in China.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

First one looks good.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Not so good.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Some day Japan will get lucky.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Japan rails MIL from Haichow to Chengchow.

Italian troops gets closer to Vichy.

Germany prepares to attack Sofia.

Japan occupies empty city of Ichang. On a roll 1 US gets annoyed to Japan.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany attacks Sofia and hex in France with 3 flipped units.
Italy is trying desperate attack in Egypt.

Does CW want to use defending HQ support?

[AllenK]

We'll risk passing on that one.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I messed up. I put too many Rumanian units to Bulgaria and Rumanian plane can't fly ground support.

Is it assault or blitz?

[AllenK]

Go with Assault thanks.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

That was exactly what I needed. Let's hope it happens two more times.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

NOW I GOT LUCKY! I had to dance a victory dance after I was sure it was a breaktrough.

Risky move pays off. Situation looked bad. Desperate times call for desperate measures...

Edit: Italy takes Cairo.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Can't complain after last attack...

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Ju52 rebases to Brussels with PARA.
Bf109 rebases to front line.
Japan rebases KI-27 to front line.

Germany wanted to use Guderian to reorganize ARM, artillery, INF and MOT. I forgot that range was motorized movement, so he reorganizes ARM, artillery and Stuka.

Balbo reorganizes Erone.

The weather stays the same.

Sounds exciting. I love how the 2d10 makes Parachute attacks into a handy tactical weapon, the way the historical Russians did it frex, quite a bit more than a grand strategic weapon, the way American players can create the 1st Allied Parachute Army, which can be devastating given the kit available in the CW/US counter mix.

Also always a mark of a generous opponent to note where the Paras are in the stacks.

In my own games I can never remember if the motorized-movement-points for re-org are modified by the current weather or not. ???
