AllenK vs Mayhemizer Episode V: Das Experiment

[AllenK]

ORIGINAL: Mayhemizer

ORIGINAL: Courtenay

ORIGINAL: Mayhemizer

Axis 10, Allied 9. Is is the weather or are they even trying to find enemy?

I think they are trying to find the ocean. [:)]

How hard is it find water when sailing in storm??? [:)]

Perhaps akin to the expression; not being able to see the wood for the trees?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany rails INF div from Poland to La Spezia.

Japan rails TER from Manchuria to Sian.

Ethiopian TER occupies Djibouti.

Japan declares 3 low odds attacks in bad weather. HQ support is used in all these attacks. Japan uses 1 point ground support in Yenan.

Final odds in picture. BANZAI!

Assault in Ankang?

[AllenK]

Assault it is.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Attack is good.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Ankang is taken, no reaction from US (8 rolled).

Is it assault or blitz against HQ and Yenan?

[AllenK]

Assault at Yenan, Blitz against HQ, thanks.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Mao is destroyed, divisions are destroyed from Japan.

[AllenK]

Typical. If I'd chosen assault it would have been 0/0 [8|].

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Attack in Yenan fails.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany rebases one fighter to Poland.

Turn ends on a 4.

[AllenK]

Germany puts 2 pact markers to offence. USSR puts 1 to defence.

USA puts a chit in the Jap pool.

Losses. The Communists are becoming somewhat unstuck.

[AllenK]

Initiative: Axis 8, Allies 7. Do Axis wish to go first?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Yes please.

[AllenK]

Axis move first and won't be too upset with the weather.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

You are too kind [:)]

[Mayhemizer_slith]

M/A 40 Axis 1

No DoW

Germany combined, Italy naval and Japan land.

Italian FTR to West Med box 2 and CA to box 4.
Italian CP returns to La Spezia.
Italian CA to East Med box 4.
Italian CA and CP to Italian Coast box 0, CA to box 4.
One submarine CVB and 2 submarines to CSV.

German FTR and LND to North Sea box 2. German CA to North Sea box 4.

Axis declines Italian coast and initiates combat everywhere else.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Cape Verde Basin: Axis 2, Allied 6. Only box 0 is selected.

How does Allies place damage? Where does aborted ships go? Axis stay, how about Allies?

[AllenK]

D on foreign CP. Rest on CW ones. Stay.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

2nd round: Axis 2, Allied 7.

Again only 0 box is selected.

All points to increase damage. I wish I had chosen North Sea as first sea area...

How does Allies place damage? I think CW units will abort to Gambia/Cape Town (can be intercepted if they go to Gibraltar), where does French CP go if aborted?
