AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Axis 6, Allies 3.

Only CW finds, what do you want to do?

[AllenK]

I think I have 4 surprise points. If so, use 2 to reduce losses to NE and 2 to increase damage to a D (I think).

If it doesn't work out like that, let me know.

Thanks

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Your damage is NE already. You can increase damage to D 2A.

[AllenK]

Okay, go with that.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

On a 9 sub is aborted.

[AllenK]

That sub is leading a bit of a charmed life. That's two damage rolls saved now.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Next West Med. Italy intercepts with NAV.

Do CW fly any planes?

[AllenK]

No thanks.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Axis 3, Allies 7. No combat.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany rails INF HQ to France, MIL to Bulgaria and MIL near Moscow.

German units few hexes.

No land combat in blizzard.

Japan debarks MIL and INF to Seoul.

Germany rebases He111 from Germany to northern front, Stuka to front line in south and Bf110 to front line near Moscow.

Italy rebases FTR to Chisinau and FTR to southern Germany.

Japan rebases NAV to Sasebo.

Back to Allies.

That is the last Italian sub, she needs luck [:)]

[AllenK]

J/F 41 Allies 4

No DoW

CW adds Polish units to Force Pool.

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

US sends a CV plus 2 CA to North Atlantic 0-box. CW sends out the routine escorts.

USSR rails another factory east from Moscow.

USSR and China make some minor land moves.

Map of China and Korea following moves.

[AllenK]

USSR rebases a Ftr-2 and Lnd-3 away from the vacated Wonsan. CW rebases a couple of CVP's at Gib and Nav-4 to Plymouth.

No reorgs.

Weather is about as bad as it can get.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

These weather rolls are killing Germany's plans. I have been waiting for a snow to arctic to take Leningrad. It would be +8 (+possible bonuses from flipped units, 6 1's from Italian planes and German artillery on both corps in Leningrad).

I think I try to take Leningrad with risk (+6).

[Mayhemizer_slith]

J/F 41 Axis 7

Italy declares war on USSR. On a 9 US ignores.

Japan and Italy combined, Germany land.

Japanese Trans with MIL sails to Vladivostok. CP goes to South China Sea.

Germany rails Rommel to Tula, INF div to France and INF to Bulgaria.

Japanese units in Korea swap places.

Germany prepares to attack in southern front and Leningrad area.

Italy moves INF div to Estonia, Tallinn is not taken and unit is disorganized.

Germany declares attacks in Leningrad and in hex south east from Rostov in southern front. Attacking HQ support is used in both attacks.

Attack in south is successful.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Do USSR want to use winterized units and choose Assault?

If both use winterized units final odds will be +6.

Edit: I almost regret doing this attack, but I really want to take Leningrad... It would have been so much easier without blizzard...

[AllenK]

Yes please.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Call me the lucky one! Leningrad falls with the lowest possible roll! I had 36% chance to take it in blizzard.

Rules question: I have to destroy 2 units. I already destroyed ENG unit first but second unit can be anyone, not the other ENG. Correct?

Edit: 3 ships and 2 subs are overrun and destroyed.

[AllenK]

RAC says "If an ENG provides any benefits in an attack, it always suffers the first loss (even before elite units attacking in winter)." My reading of that would be if two Eng units provide benefits and there are two losses, then both Eng would have to be destroyed.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

"First loss" with winterized units and ARM only means the first loss, not all losses.

Before first loss text was: "Axis must destroy 2 more units (with an ENG unit 1st)..."
