Respectfully request Allied players abstain from viewing AAR.

[AllenK]

Yes, Italians could send a fighter. It would risk a port strike on Italian fleet in La Spezia if CW sails into West Med. Italians do have a Nav and Ftr in 2-box as first defence but you know how searches can go.

Not saying El Duce is against it but just considering the risks involved.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Can you send that ATR? German NAV is the front bomber and if gets shot down or aborted we can abort from combat. No risk for Italian plane. Specially if my ground strikes are good.

If we get CW units OOS I can destroy them.

[AllenK]

The ground strike swings it.

El Duce will send the ATR.

[Centuur]

The Italian ATR's are very good to transport the German PARA. I always use them instead of the lousy "Tante Ju's". Germany should ask the Italians to build one for them.

[Protagoras]

Guys,

I am trying not to comment in any of these (other than silly things) since I am watching all three. But I must have missed the axis builds. Any chance of reposting them or pointing me to where they are?


Thanks

If one of the plans we are thinking of is attempted, that may well come to pass.

Try around page 20 on the main log.

How much lift does the CW have for this turn(used and unused) in the Atlantic/North Sea/Med?

Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?

About the ridiculous 1d10: someone (Brian?) wrote that its the pluses to the die roll that is important more than the odds. Not sure if that is true?

is the opposite: to 3:1, +1 or +1 odd is the same: 2:1 +1 or 3:1 +0 give the same results. the big change is from 3:1 to 4:1, from this point +1 is 1/2 odds: 3:1+1 is worst than 4:1: two shift in attacker flavour in place of one every odd.

in same case, but is rare, 2d10 is better for the defender, but most of the time is better for attacker, not on the odds or + side, but for the impact of the 3rd unit in a stack

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany will take land. This impulse I will attack CW div, 3-3 INF and 3-5 CAV if I get good enough odds.

It would be awesome if Italy gets Toulouse this impulse. It might not be possible in this weather. Attack to Spain would be faster and easier without last French units sitting in Toulouse.

Destroying CW transporter must wait one impulse...

I get access to my computer this evening.

Edit: German attacks are all automatic. They can also try 3,3:1 attack against INF adjacent to Warsaw. Warsaw attack would be even weaker.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I'm not sure what USSR is doing. They have following units in German border:

-CAV in East Poland.

-INF, INF div, AA gun and 2x AT gun in Rumanian border.

All planes and other land units are in Persia.


Are they trying to make Germany attack USSR in 1940 instead of taking Spain?

If the opportunity presents, our last game showed it might be worthwhile to take it.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

And push hard beyond Urals. Let's see what happens in near future.

[AllenK]

Even without the weather, Italy couldn't reach Toulouse this impulse. Moving through ZoC.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Sorry, I was supposed to say this turn.

[AllenK]

Either way, the weather is probably going to put a stop to it. Italians couldn't move much without it either going OOS, disorganised or both.

[Centuur]

The Italians still could move the MTN westwards and get another unit in the hex it came from, to maintain supply. That move alone might give the Italians the possibility to move further westwards next impulse (or turn), if the French don't do anything about it.

It's always best to have the enemy react on something you do.

Now, with France on the ropes, Germany should take into account the Soviet border. If the USSR is foolish enough not to pay attention to garrison values and Germany conquers Paris, forget about going into the Med. Go into the USSR immediately (DoW them the impulse after you've captured Paris if you've got that possibility)! A 1940 Barbarossa with Vichy declared is very, very powerfull, even if you haven't got a lot of troops to enter the Soviet Union in the surprise impulse.

[Jagdtiger14]

I agree with Centuur. The Italians need to keep moving, and 1940 Barb with Vichy declared is powerful.

Have the Soviets taken the Baltic States yet? They don't have the Finnish borderlands...and going deep into Persia.

[Centuur]

Any chance of a reasonable attack on Paris? If you can get odds of 2-1 (after modifications) or more, I would be tempted to try to take the city, even using the 1D10. That's to say: if you've got cheap loss takers available.
