J/A 40 Axis 7

No alignments or DoW.

Germany & Italy combined. Japan pass.

[AllenK]

Germany flies Me-110 to Cape St. Vincent 2-box.

A strong contingent of the German fleet departs Kiel, sailing through the North Sea and on into the Faeroes Gap. Does the Dutch CA wish to intercept?

[Orm]

Yes.

[AllenK]

On a 7 the intercept fails and the fleet moves on to the Bay of Biscay. I decline the intercepts as they can sail no further. The fleet joins their comrades patrolling the 1-box.

3 areas for naval combat.

[AllenK]

First up St. Vincent, where the Me-110 commences searching.

Do the Allies wish to add any extra air support?

[Orm]

No, thank you.

[AllenK]

Italy commits subs.

Look-outs on both sides are on top form as both roll a 1 for searching.

Me-110 flies as fighter. How do the Swordfish wish to arrange themselves?

[Orm]

Edit 2: Two fighter strength as fighter. Other as bomber. If it isn't to late, that is.

Edit 3: To late apparently. [:D]

[AllenK]

The lead Swordfish are sent crashing into the sea.

The Germans stay for another round. How about the Allies?

[Orm]

CW abort the air combat.

Note to self: Remember to load the live munitions next time.

[AllenK]

The Axis stay for a second round. How about les Amis?

[Orm]

CW stay.

[AllenK]

Both sides set themselves for another round. On the basis the CW didn't fly any air support last time, I decline. Italy commits the sub.

Searches: Axis 3, Allied 8. Only Axis spot and include the 0-box only for 7 surprise points.

The Italian sub captain raises his scope and finds himself in the middle of a juicy convoy (4 points for sub combat).

He avoids a depth charge attack from the escort.

[AllenK]

3 points used to boost damage to 2D, A. Whose CP's - Dutch, Danish or CW take the damage?

Edit: To move things on, I figure the Allies will want to save the CW CP and also keep one of the Dutch ones.

[AllenK]

Axis stay for more. Allies?

[Orm]

Allies stay.

[AllenK]

No air support, as before but this time the sub decides to stay on the bottom.

Searches: Axis 8, Allies 1.

Avoid combat or will the Swordfish try and valiantly bounce the Me-110's out of the sun?

[Orm]

With no sub there is no point in combat. So CW use their surprise to end the combat in this sea area.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I'm offline for three hours. Good luck for Bay if Biscay!

[AllenK]

Where does the CP abort to?
