AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

West Med Axis 3, Allies 9. 1 less for Axis and it would have been fun. Italy is burning oil a lot. I was not sure if it wise to take 5 speed battle ships and not reach box 4...

Do USSR want to initiate combat in China Sea?

[AllenK]

As I'm not sure whether the subs will get back to port anyway, may as well have a bash.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Both rolled 9 and barely found water...

Bombs and shells are falling from sky in Paris. HQ is disorganized, looks like Germany is going for last assault...

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany uses Engineer, HQ support and winterized to unit in Paris. Final odds are +10,36.

I bet France chooses Assault? In that case Germany needs 10+ to take Paris.

[AllenK]

Go for it!

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Japs are in trouble but Germany keeps going! Paris is taken without German losses! (I think German land unit losses are total 2 BP's). I call this prefect success.

Germany chooses retreat. France must choose one unit to be destroyed.

Edit: Odds were +8,864 and Germany needed 11 to take Paris.

Edit2: German land unit losses so far: 2 BP's in Poland and 2 BP's in France. 2 ships are destroyed and few more damaged. 1 NAV is destroyed in Mediterranean.

This is what I forgot to say earlier:

Germany rails INF div from Italy to Kiel. Japan rails Artillery to Kirin.

Japan moves 3 units in central China to put HQ is supply again.

Italian INF enters Algeria.

[AllenK]

Retreat the HQ thanks.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany rebases 2 fighters to east.

On a 7 turn continues. Japan gets little nervous...

[AllenK]

J/F 40 Allies 14

No DoW

USSR, US, CW, Combined. China Land. France Naval.

French move a Trans from Bordeaux to Cape Verde. Their fleet sorties to the West Med 4, 3 and 0 boxes.

CW moves Trans with Glasgow Mil to Malta. The Italian intercept in the West Med failed on a 10.

3 areas for Naval combat although Allies decline Cape Verde.

[AllenK]

China Sea.

Searches Allies 1, Axis 8.

3 surprise points used to choose sub combat.

The sea is swept of Soviet subs, with one limping off trailing oil.

[AllenK]

China Sea is again empty of CP's.

[AllenK]

The Soviet subs abort to Hong Kong (the one with the D) and Singapore, the Jap CP to Yokahama (hope this is okay).

West Med

Searches Allies 1, Axis 3.

Allies increase damage by 1 column. how do the Italians wish to spread the damage?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Italy and Japan blaims Germany is using all good rolls...

X on CL Bari (if survives another one also)
X on Bande Nere (if survives X or D also)
If both sink from first X CL Giussano takes it and D also if possible.

If D is not placed, CA Fiume will take it.

Aborts to damaged ships.

If there are no damaged ships, one A to following ships in this order
CA Eugenio Di Savoia
CA Abruzzi
CA Attendolo

[AllenK]

May be a bit of a break. Home phone and Internet broke.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

No problem. And Italy will stay for more.

[AllenK]

We're back online. Italian losses.

[AllenK]

The cost to the French navy.

Second round searches: Allies 9, Axis 6 (phew).

[AllenK]

The Chinese push units through to threaten Japan's rear areas in China.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Please turn don't end, Japs will attack everything... Everything = two OOS disorganized Chinese units.

Japs should have run to coast as soon as USSR declared war. Next time I know that.
