I'll be unavailable this afternoon, otherwise free.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I'm lurking this forum most of the day using phone.

[Orm]

Football season begins today so I will be unavailable for a couple of hours this afternoon.

Feels weird that the season begins so early. The winter school break is just beginning...

[Orm]

No declarations of war.

Land: USSR, China
Combined: USA, CW
Naval: France

No Port Strikes.

The Indian fighter in Egypt begins to patrol the East Med. The South African fighter in India patrols the Bay of Bengal. Meanwhile the Whitley bomber in Singapore patrols the South China Sea.

The French TRS in Morocco sail to the Gulf of Guinea.

USA send a TRS loaded with a HQA to Faeroes Gap. USA also send a couple of BBs and three CAs to Faeroes Gap.

USS Chester, loads 3rd infantry division, and sail together with USS New Orleans to Tasman Sea.

CW sail the fleet in South Africa to the Mozambique Channel.

Three areas for sea combat. The British bomber activate in the South China Sea.

In the last second I changed my mind and included the US submarine. Really dumb move. [:D] (Allies roll 6 and Axis 3)

How will Japan proceed?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Is it possible to avoid combat by choosing bomber only? If not, then maximum damage to sub.

[Orm]

Combat avoided.

[Orm]

The other sea areas are declined and Axis has no opportunity to activate any sea combats.

The British bombing campaign continues despite the weather. This time the target is the U-boat production in Hamburg.

[Orm]

The bombs are right on target and the U-boat factories are reduced to rubble.

Nov/Dec 1941
Impulse: 11 (Allied)

Land Movement (Cont)

Soviet Union
The Soviets continue to position along the borders of the Nazi-Soviet pact demarcation line, while Moscow nervously tries to second-guess German intentions. The messages coming from Berlin remain friendly and BAU, but more and more troop movements are reported.... even Stalin has been heard to mutter "words and figures differ me thinks".....

In the east 6th Army have been ordered to head for the Liao river and encamp on the east bank just as it starts to flow south toward Mukden.

Communist Chinese
Mao's forces recapture Nanyang and Tungkwan, while the Cavalry Corps is ordered into the Shansi mountain range.

Debark
The US 3rd Infantry Division is sent to bolster the defenders of New Zealand.
Eisenhower goes to visit the Laurel and Hardy museum near Barrow.

Land Combat
None

Rebase

Soviet Union
A MiG-3 rebases closer to the front line near Changchun
A Fighter and Bomber unit rebase closer to the front line on the Eastern Front

Commonwealth
The Harrow rebases from Morocco to Algiers.

United States
The fighter on Pago Pago rebases to one of the northern Tongan islands.
The Dauntless in Ireland rebases to Plymouth.

HQ Reorganisation
None

[warspite1]

I feel like crying

Turn ends on a 3. I assume the turn ends anyway as, suspecting I would do my usual I have not advanced beyond the HQ Reorganisation phase. If someone can confirm and I can either send the game back to the Axis or advance the impulse and send it back.

Thanks

EDIT: Scrub that - I just did a test game and yes, I ended the turn. Game heading back to all as soon as I have done the partisans and stuff.

[AllenK]

Turn indeed ends on a 3. It was a 50% chance of ending.

Allies may as well advance up to the prelim production phase. I suspect the German pact markers will go to offence.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Both markers to defense! And move one marker from offense to defense.

[AllenK]

I suspected wrong [:)].

I thought so [;)]

Only for France and China [:D]

I'm surprised Malaya didn't get another one - the peninsular is actually sinking under the weight of partisans!

Hmmm. I looked again my email. I only see two rolls for partisans:
"Garrison" with d10
"Pick partisan unit" with d11

First roll should be d100.
