AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back.

[AllenK]

CW sends a ground-strike against Balbo's stack, disorganising him.

[AllenK]

USSR rails a factory out of Kiev.

USSR adjusts the units along the Dnieper. In the north, the retreat continues. In Siberia units close on Vladivostok and prepare to attack in Manchuria.

Communist units move into the mountains in pursuit of a disorganised and OOS Jap Cav.

Nationalists move units towards the line near Nanking.

CW moves Gort and 2 units towards the Libyan border.

3 land combats declared; 1 by the Communists and 2 by USSR.

Which table would the Japs like against the Communists?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

(All) assault thanks.

[AllenK]

The communists nearly botch it and suffer the Sian Mil disorganised.

[AllenK]

At +21, the other attacks are automatic, destroying a Mil unit each. The die rolls were 12 and 6.

USSR rebases a Ftr from Pskov to Leningrad and from Stalino to Kharkov.

Nationalists rebase their Ftr to Wuhan.

CW loads a CVP onto a CV at Liverpool.

No reorgs.

Turn ends on a 1.

[AllenK]

No partisans.

US puts a chit in the Ge/It pool. Options chosen: East Coast escorts (8 NE on tension), resources to USSR (5 for 1 chit shifted to Tension pool).

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany is cursing their bad luck with short spring and Japan is just as happy as kids are when Santa Claus brings presents...

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Units destroyed M/J 1940

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Should Vichy France be able to save one oil sent by Germany? Or can I at least use it to reorganize ships?

[Centuur]

Yes, Vichy should be able to save one oil point each turn. It can use that oil the turn after this one, to reorganise units.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Thanks Centuur. I had some problems to do it but finally it worked.

[Jagdtiger14]

A bit of info I would like to see reported would be incoming units for each nation...ie...what units are coming in this turn (J/A'40) for USSR, Germany, etc...

Perhaps even their placement on the map with a photo of the maps? Am I asking for too much?[:)]

J/A 40 Axis 1

Looks like USSR is giving lots of land to save units, reinforcements are not in closest cities. Winter will be difficult for Germany, I need to use summer well.

Germany land, Italy combined and Japan naval.

Italy fly 2x FTR to West Med box 2.

Japan sends lots of ships to all seas adjacent to China, Korea and USSR. There are BB's, CV's and escorting ships. Transporter picks up Bangkok MIL from Siam. Other 2 transporters pick up Tokyo MIL and artillery from Japan. Artillery goes straight to Port Arthur in Manchuria.

At this point I think I see a bug: Shattered AA gun that appeared back to Japan is disorganized. It doesn't matter that much that we need to redo anything.

Italy sends a sub from La Spezia to Cape St. Vincent box 3.

Italy is trying to get combat when there are no planes in sea area.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Axis 4, Allies 10. This will hurt, but not as much if Italian HQ would have been 1 hex closer to subs in Bordeaux. I would have chosen naval and there would have been 2 subs in box 3...

Edit: Only box 0 is chosen.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Italy uses 4 points to get Allies damage down to NE and another 4 points to raise own damage to 2D 3A.

Italy stay, how about CW? And when it is over, do ships abort to Gibraltar?

[AllenK]

CW stay and Gib looks good for aborts.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Both roll 9 and combat is over.
