AllenK vs Mayhemizer Episode IV: A New Heap

[AllenK]

The French blaze away with 6, 10, 5, 7. It proves too much for the fighter boys who aren't used to this sort of thing and head back home (Me-109 aborted).

Final combat odds. Which tables would the Allies like to use?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany can decide, they have ARM included.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Assault everywhere possible.

[AllenK]

The invasion at Port Said rolled an 11, it was automatic anyway.

Georges is destroyed and the French line penetrated.

[AllenK]

The Dutch are dealt with.

[AllenK]

The Belgium Cav didn't stand a chance. The die rolls are MWiF generated. I didn't use the die roller with the attack at +24.

[AllenK]

At Poznan, the Germans come unstuck as the Poles put up a gallant defence.

[AllenK]

The second attack in Poland doesn't go entirely smoothly either.

[AllenK]

Germany rebases Me-109 in Poland to stay with the HQ.

Japan moves a fighter forwards to Chengchow.

Germany uses Ju-52 to deliver 1 point of supply to a Stuker. Rundstedt reorganises a swathe of units. Von Leeb reorganises an Inf and Mot Div.

Back to the Allies.

My original plan was to send lots of BP's from CW to France so that Paris never fall. New plan is leave France alone and see how long it survives...

Leaving Port Said unguarded looks like a mistake...

What can I do? Something desperate of course! Prepare yourselves, this impulse is going to planned on assumption that next impulse weather is not fine on North Temperate. How bad can it end?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

S/O 39 Allied 4

No DoW.

USSR claims Bessarabia. Do Germany accept the claim?

Edit: US has 5 chits in Germany/Italian entry pool.

[AllenK]

It would seem a wise choice.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

CW, US and USSR combined, China and France land.

CW makes a port strike to Kiel, just for fun.

I believe submarines are not included to combat?

[AllenK]

Yep, subs in the pens.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Axis 6, Allies 7. Axis have 2 surprise points.

Option 1: AA fires lowest of 6 and uses points to decrease damage by one column (no damage to ships in any case).

Option 2: AA fires lowest of 5 hoping to shoot down the plane. If lowest roll is 1, result is A.

I bet 2 build points and a INF HQ on option 2!

[AllenK]

Don't think you would get very good odds or indeed many takers for the bet.

Option 2 it is, thanks.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Forgot to say earlier: CW, US and USSR combined, China and France land.

Edited to above post also.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

AA fire 7 4 6 9 4 reduces bombs to "no effect".

[Mayhemizer_slith]

CW sends 6 ships to East Med box 3.

2 transporters and a CA loaded with MECH, MOT and INF div enters North Sea. There would be one organized German plane if I would not have disorganized it on that 2nd impulse intercept. Would you like to intercept? (I resolve possible result in naval combat phase)

[AllenK]

Yes please.
