AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Good. Abort to La Spezia. No problem even CL did not take hit, I think I edited a bit too late. Keep going.

[AllenK]

Having put all the surprise points into increasing damage, there is, of course, the cost.

[AllenK]

Mao and 1st Inf move adjacent to the Jap 12th Inf.

Nationalist 1st Cav moves to Wuhan.

1 land combat, which Mao adds support to. Assault table?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Yes please, assault it is

[AllenK]

The Communists manage a 1 for 1 exchange.

[AllenK]

No air rebases or reorgs.

Turn continues on a 10.

Weather roll is an 8.

It always seems to me that subconsciously when playing the naval engagements we all get a more "just one more will do it" mind set... Its the gambler in us that says, we had a good result maybe we can get another, when we all know deep down the dice will bite us on the backside at some point.
Naval engagements seem to have more of a risk factor in them. you have the search rolls which can massively change the outcome, and then the damage rolls as well. At least in land combats its just one roll that can screw you over [:D]

Looks like the Chinese are fighting back! Surely the IJN can bring some of their landlubbing cousins over to help? Or have they got bigger fish to fry?

The French navy is always an issue as well. As an axis player part of my thinks maybe a beeline for all the ports to try and capture as many as possible could be an option, but I have never been brave enough to try it

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany allows Hungary and Bulgaria take Transylvania and South Dobruja from Rumania.

Germany aligns Hungary, on a 3 US draws one chit.

No DoW.

All go with land.

French units in Brussels are safe thanks to rain.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany rails GAR from Karslruhe to Denmark, INF from Denmark to Saarbrucken and INF div from Denmark to La Spezia Italy.

Japanese units move few hexes in northern and central China.

Italian units that are not using oil move to Tunisia. 2 units move hex or two in French border. Italian TER moves to Kenya.

3 Japanese units (ENG, 2x MAR) debarks to China.

Germany did not use O-chit and Brussels odds where +4,1. I didn't dare to try that (21% chance to take it). Instead in frustration I decided to gamble with Mech.

Roll was good. Actually good enough to take Brussels... Next time I'll take it.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Turn ends on a 2. No partisans.

Germany chooses 2 markers to defense. How about USSR?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Units destroyed during S/O 1939. And lots of ships got damaged.

[AllenK]

USSR to defence, thanks.

[AllenK]

US puts it's entry chit in the Jap pool and selects Chinese build aircraft. On a 4, the tension doesn't change.

[AllenK]

Germany reorganizes everything else except:

Ju52
Gneisenau
Deutchland
Admiral Graf Spee

That makes total 2,45 oil used (=2 oil used). Germany uses Bratislava and Königsberg oils.

Italy reorganizes everything else except:

Trieste
Bolzano

That makes total 0,45 oil used (=0 oil used).

Japan reorganizes everything. That makes total 1,45 oil used (=1 oil used). Japan uses oil in Kobe.

Allies reorg everything except a French CL. US and CW expend oil points.

[AllenK]

Italy breaks down 3-3 INF in La Spezia into 2x 1-3 INF div.

No scrap for Axis.

Production

Germany 12
Pilot
LND2
INF
3x MIL
MOT div

Italy 2
Trans (repair)

Japan 10
AMPH (1st)
3x MIL
CVL (1st)

Factory destruction:

Liege, Lodz, Nanking, Shanghai and Canton.

Reinforcements

Germany assigns pilot to Bf109 E-1.
3x MIL
INF in Cologne
AT gun in Saarbrucken
ARM div in Cologne
INF div in Dusselfdorf
Bf109 in Saarbrucken

Germany removes Hs123

Italy assigns pilot to CR-42
CR.42 in Milan
MOT in Genoa

Japan
4x MIL

Germany sends 3 BP's (termporary) to Italy as token of friendship.

[AllenK]

Allies don't do any breakdowns.

CW scraps a few.

[AllenK]

Just realised, the German production is more than 12. What do you wish to change? Looks like only 1 Mil can be built if you want to keep the rest.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Can you please check Germany production, Oil resources, Received oil. All 4 received oil should be saved (in Breslau, Budapest x2 and Brno). That leaves 18 production points and 12 (14-2 sent to USSR) BP's.

EDIT: Now I see the problem

This should be correct:
Pilot
LND2
3x MIL
MOT div

I planned to build INF and did not remove it from the list. Sorry.

[AllenK]

We have a technical problem. Cagliari is still showing as Italian controlled. When I progress the turn to the conquest phase, Sardinia is remaining as Italian. I've posted it to the Tech forum to see if it can be fixed.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

If sardinia would have been conquered by taking that city Italy will not land units using this bug. You can move that div and take the city.
