AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back.

[Jagdtiger14]

I would be tempted to ground strike one of those retreating stacks in the south with the He 111 at long range.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Me too, but there is an AA gun one stack. I have made my plan and it is awesome [;)]

There will be small break waiting for USSR setting up reserves.

[AlbertN]

Yet the AA is flipped after it fires, so maybe you could get the AA if spent doing its designated job.

[WIF_Killzone]

As the world holds its breath for the titanic struggle in the east.

[Jagdtiger14]

If I'm the USSR, I do not flip the AA gun no matter what...if he cares to save it. Flipping it will mean certain death for that unit. I cant see everything in the stacks, perhaps if its to save an ARM, HQ, or maybe a MECH +, then.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

There is a INF HQ in the stack I planned to ground strike.

Detailed map from southern front.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

USSR reserves are what I expected, expect Minsk is empty. France was only warm up, what you will see now is DAS BLITZKRIEG!

Rumania is aligned, on a 2 US gets mad as usual.

Germany and Japan land, Italy combined.

Italy sends 2 subs (one to each sea area) to Cape St. Vincent Box 1 and Bay of Biscay box 2.

Italy initiates combat in 3 sea areas.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Cape St. Vincent
Axis 8, Allies 7.

Next West Med. I guess CW bombers won't fly?

[AllenK]

No thanks

[Mayhemizer_slith]

France want to avoid combat? If I'm correct (which is not often in naval combat) France can't cause damage to Italian ship.

[AllenK]

I'm not sure. How many surprise points are there, just choosing box 2?

Edit: Forget that, I was looking at the wrong column on the table.

Avoid combat, thanks.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

OK

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Battle intercepts to Bay of Biscay? Is it box 0 or something else?'

Edit: LND Battle (1 air to sea factor) can reach boxes 0 and 1.

[AllenK]

Box-0 thanks.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Axis 2, Allies 3.

Allies NE, Axis A.

On a 5 Italian sub is aborted.

Both Germany and Japan ground strikes one hex. German Stuka do what they were expected to do.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Japs fail...

[Jagdtiger14]

I'm not sure I would have used the Stuka on that ground strike...you would have overwhelmed that unit anyway, unless you were paranoid about a very bad die roll.

What about the ground strike in the south?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany rails MTN and INF div to East Prussia, INF to Bucharest.

Italy rails MIL to Bordeaux.

Germany attacks 5 cities. Japan declares 3 attacks (1 on Manchuria and 2 in China).

Japan uses Attacking HQ support in 2 combats where it is possible.

Ju88 gives 8 points ground support in Riga. Rumanian IAR 37 and German He111 gives 10 points ground support in Chisinau. Japan gives 3 points ground support in Manchuria.

Do USSR want to send bombers? Japan can intercept with 1 and 3 factor carrier planes.

I needed that ground strike to take all cities I wanted. Germany don't have enough units. No ground strike in south, I want to take Chisinau without disorganizing my units.
