AllenK vs Mayhemizer Episode V: Das Experiment

[AllenK]

Naval air it is. At that point the only logical thing is for the Axis to increase AA from NE to lowest 1 of 5.

AA rolls of 3, 9, 1, 5, 8 are enough to prevent any damage this impulse.

CW stays to fight. The Axis?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Axis stay.

[AllenK]

Searches: Allies 1, Axis 1. Both sides are NE. On to the next round.

Searches: Allies 8, Axis 5. No combat.

North Atlantic.

CA Berwick is sent to scout for the enemy.

Searches: Allies 6, Axis 8. No combat.

CW moves units in France towards the border.

Turn continues on a 9.

S/O 39 Axis 13

Looks like Allies are testing what it takes to make Italy declare war on CW... You will soon see what I mean.

Italy declares war on CW (one chit to US entry pool).

Japan land, Italy and Germany combined.

Italian NAV and large fleet (loaded with 2x INF div) to West Med box 4, fighter to box 2.

Axis try to find enemy on both possible sea areas.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

West Med first. Both roll 4, Italy has 9 surprise points and they choose to with guns.

Italy uses 6 points to increase damage leaving 3 points to choose one target.

CW can place first X, who takes it?

[AllenK]

X can go on Sheffield.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Total destruction (22 BP's).

Italy used 3 points to target X on TRS.

And it can get even worse if Italy rolls high in land combat, Gibraltar is guarded only by artillery.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Italian damage

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Both sides find in North Atlantic

[Mayhemizer_slith]

How does CW place their damage?

[AllenK]

D on Repulse. After that, pretty much irrelevant.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Forgot to take picture of Allied damage. Both ships are aborted.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Axis damage

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Axis stay, how about Allies? They have ships left only in box 0.

[AllenK]

Stay.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Axis 10, Allied 5. Combat is over.

Damaged German ship sails through Faeroes Gap, does CW want to intercept?

[AllenK]

ORIGINAL: Mayhemizer

Total destruction (22 BP's).

Italy used 3 points to target X on TRS.

And it can get even worse if Italy rolls high in land combat, Gibraltar is guarded only by artillery.

What a mess! Those units should have been disembarked last impulse instead of moving the CW units in France [&:].

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Did you notice my last post, we were typing both our messages same time...

Edit: This looks like a nightmare to Allies.

[AllenK]

It may pass.

Nightmare? Yes, very probably now.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Where does CW ships abort from North Atlantic?
