Messed up the French screenshot. But France only reorganized two headquarters and one bomber. Leaving most of the fleet disorganized, including the important transport.

[Orm]

Germany and CW left a few units disorganized to save oil.

N/D 39 Axis 1

No DoW or alignments.

Germany Land. Italy & Japan Combined.

Italy flies SM.79 and Re.2000 to West Med 2-box.

Germany flies He.112 to North Sea 2-box.

Japan sails 2 Trans from Shanghai to China Sea 2-box, loading Fukuoka Mil and SNLF. CP from Canton (no idea what it was doing there) to The Marianas.

1 Italian sub sails to St. Vincent 2-box, 2 subs sail to North Atlantic 1-box.

3 areas for naval combat.

I know Vichy is not far off, but we haven't switched sides just yet.

Thanks Warspite1. Post edited above.

In the West Med, the Italian fighter sweeps the skies looking for the CW convoy. It proves fruitless (Axis 5, Allies 9).

In Cape St. Vincent the effort is rather half-hearted (Axis 10, Allies 9).

Not much better in the North Atlantic (Axis 5, Allies 5).

The CW had the opportunity to initiate combat in the North Sea (BB and CA vs He.112). I assumed they would decline.

Japanese artillery ground-strikes two Nationalist Inf in the mountains east of Sian.

German 105mm's open up on Antwerp, while Me-110's load up with bombs to strike Lodz and a Do-17 targets Warsaw.

Lodz fails.

[AllenK]

As does Warsaw.

[AllenK]

Antwerp achieves par.

[AllenK]

No better for the Japanese.

[AllenK]

Japan rails Harbin Mil to Chengchow.

Italians push a couple more units over the French border.

Japan moves Peking Warlord for anti-partisan duties. The other 2 land moves will be for disembarking the Mil and SNLF.

Over to Germany.

[warspite1]

Gents - apologies for the stupid question, but how were the Italians able to sail 3 subs in two moves in a combined?

[AllenK]

One of the idiosyncrasies of naval movement. From RAC

"You make 1 “naval move” with SUB units every time you:

Move a group of organized SUB units from one port, to any number of destinations (ports or sea-box sections, even in different sea areas); or ..."

So it only took 1 move.

Ah... thank-you.

[warspite1]

Where did the Me-110 and Do-17 re-base to please? I am just trying to follow this action on my version of the game.

[AllenK]

Do-17 to Königsberg. Me-110 to hex SE of Königsberg.

Japan attacks partisan (automatic)

Germany attacks 2 hexes in France and Lodz in Poland

Odds before ground support phase:

Lodz 35:7 = 5:1 (-1 from 2 factories)
France (AT gun) 34:9 = 3:1 (+2 from 3 ARM/MECH)
France (6-4 INF) 42:9 = 4:1 (+1 from MECH and ARM div)

Germany sends ground support:
France (AT gun) Stuka (5) and Bf109 (2) as bomber
France (6-4 INF) Ju88 (4 and Bf109 (1) as bomber

Germany has 2 Bf109's with 5 strength in stand by and they reach both hexes.

What does France do? Stay on ground or fight?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

France might fall before Poland. That would be really something special...

[Orm]

I take command. And order both the French fighter, and bomber, to support the AT-gun.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany intercepts with one Bf109.

France rolls 12. I believe Bf109 is cleared through?
