Stay at sea and return to base:

Germany

Italy

2x CA in West Med stay at sea.
CA and CL in Italian Coast stay at sea.
Subs in North Atlantic and Cape St. Vincent to La Spezia.
East Med: Erone to Sicily [74,40], Re2000 to Sicily [72,38] and Macchi C200 to Sicily [74,39]. CL Colleoni stays in East Med, other war ships returns to La Spezia (or if not possible then to Alexandria).

Japan

Set Japanese coast 3 CP to sentry
China Sea: 1 Trans to Yokohama, all other ships from box 3 to Osaka.

No break down corps/armies.

[AllenK]

Apart from escorts, the CW leaves 3 CA in East Med 3-box, 2 subs in Italian Coast 2-box, CA in West Med 2-box and 4 CA/CL in North Sea 3-box.

The French leave the sub in Italian Coast 3-box and 4 CA/CL in East Med 2-box.

Hurricane to Malta. Sunderland to Sicily, Greek ships go to Cyprus and Bengazi. CW ships to Gibraltar.

On RTB, do the Italians wish to intercept the CV, 2 CA and Trans as they head through West Med?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Yes please

[AllenK]

The Italian ships spot smoke on the horizon to the West of them. They give chase but are unable to catch the ships before they get within range of Gibraltar (4 rolled).

Do they want a go at 2 French BB and 4 CA/CL?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

French are free to go.

[AllenK]

The shorter range French ships go to Beirut.

CW scrap 2 CL's.

Have to pop out for an hour. Does Germany wish to reform the 4-4 Inf?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

If you mean reforming INF after both (break down) divs are destroyed, yes. I guess it is not yet reforming armies/corps phase which we don't use.

[AllenK]

Yes, that was it.

If somebody starts to follow this AAR now I want to show something (that they don't realize immediately that I'm a newbie in this game).

M/J 1940 R,F (Allies started, turn ended on a roll 1 after Allied impulse 7)
J/A 1940 F,F,F (Allies started, turn ended on a roll 1 after Allied impulse 7)

Yes, Paris survival is almost entirely due to the turn and weather rolls than any particular skill on my part.
