Mayhemizer vs AllenK: The rematch

[AllenK]

The CP's will give a -1 to the die roll and the storm +1. You'll need a 1.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Go for it

[AllenK]

North Atlantic

Searches Axis 7, Allies 2.

4 surprise points used to reduce Allied damage to NE and 2 to boost damage to Axis. Hope this is okay for apportioning the damage.

Do the Axis want another go or abort?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Totally OK. Axis stay.

[AllenK]

Searches Axis 3 and Allies 7. Contact is lost.

Cape St. Vincent

Searches Axis 9, Allies 3.

The Allies use 4 points to reduce their damage to NE and 4 points to increase Axis damage to D, A.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Axis stay for more.

[AllenK]

Round 2

Axis 10, Allies 6. Contact lost.

RAF Hampdens ground-strike the Libya Mech.

[AllenK]

Russia and China make some minor land moves.

US disembarks the Inf at Midway.

France rebases a Ftr from Vichy to Paris and the Nav to Corsica.

CW rebases the Sunderland to Gibraltar.

Alexander reorgs 2 CV's and the Hurricane.

On a 6, the weather improves somewhat.

S/O 40 Axis 5

I have a bad feeling about this but bad luck in turn end rolls can't continue forever, can it?

Both Germany and Italy declares war on Greece.

On rolls 4 and 3 US is annoyed worth of one entry chit.

I think Greece wants to align with CW, Am I right? Where does Greece set their troops. Ships can go other ports, they are now in Athens so I can show all units.

[AllenK]

Yes, align with CW if you please.

Does the II Inf split into divisions?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

No it does not.

[AllenK]

Just answered that myself. No.

I'll try this set-up thanks. All ships in Athens.

[AllenK]

A question for those more experienced than I. Now Greece is aligned to CW, do the 2 Greek corps count as CW ones in terms of the 4 needed to align Yugoslavia?

[AlbertN]

Pretty sure you need 4 CW Corps and not Greek Corps.

[AllenK]

Okay, thanks. Need to give this one some thought.

[AlbertN]

It's not said you must send 4 already now.
But but the looks of the Italian campaign in Egypt you tend to make your decision, usually, if you can afford or not to reinforce Greece.

Bear in mind, also the later Greece falls, the later Axis aligns Yugoslavia themselves.

[AllenK]

Ultimately, the same decision the Allies faced in WW2. Historically, Western Desert campaign against the Italians going well. Halted to rush troops to Greece. Failure in Greece and nearly lost Egypt to a reinvigorated Axis. Do I repeat the historical choice, hoping for a better outcome, or take the alternative path?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Always choose the one with higher risk. If you succeed, the history will never forget your name

[AllenK]

And if you fail, history will never forget your name ....... but for all the wrong reasons [;)]

[Mayhemizer_slith]

All choose land.

3 ground strikes in Northern China, 2 in France and 1 in Greece.

Do France want to intercept?
