Respectfully request Allied players abstain from viewing AAR.

Okay, this impulse, Japan needs to do a combined to get a couple of CP's and escorts back out to sea. Italy will try a Naval as I want to put some escorts out and try and recover the AT gun from Tripoli.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany combined. Italian and German fighters to BoB box 2?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Actually Germany takes air so that they can ground strike and reirganize planes in Spain.

Germany combined. Italian and German fighters to BoB box 2?

Yep.

Fine with the Air. Italy can initiate the combat.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

If German fighters or NAV is aborted, send them to Spain so that I can reorg them.

FTR3 can be front bomber as long as there are real fighters left.

[AllenK]

Think I might do 1 more Land as Japanese. It's only impulse 5, so there should be time to get CP's to the two China Sea's later.

[AllenK]

With no success in Biscay, do the Germans still want to ground-strike in the rain?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

No thanks, CW in is supply. If we start retreating to Pynenees, I rebase them out from Spain.

[AllenK]

Do you want to make any rail moves? I can't see any obvious ones.

In land movement, I suggest you move the MTN to a city so it can be railed to the French-Spanish border. Barcelona maybe?

Edit: With it being an air move, you can only rail air units. There is the Bf-109 in Spain 64,22 that could be railed east.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Rail it to east. Send file to me for rebase. I need to leave some planes for defense but most planes start rebasing east.

I need to get to bed early today.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Axis units should start retreating to Pyrenees and take positions from French coast.

Mountain units goes to Pyrenees, I keep elite GAR, MIL and MTN div in Gibraltar.

[AllenK]

Agreed.

[Centuur]

Make it a slow moving withdrawal. Don't "advertise" this move to the Allies, if possible...

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Game 2: Time to get to bed. I need to check the situation, it's so long when I played that game last time...

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Game 1:

What a summer, turn is about to end.

Should we start barbarossa or spend remaining turn to bring more planes to east?

[AllenK]

Without looking at the map, I'd say go. This is as much about destroying units as capturing ground. The earlier you start the better. Delaying until the new turn just lets USSR get stronger.

Annoyed about Manchuria. I seem to be getting good at getting my units pocketed at the moment [8|].

[Mayhemizer_slith]

USSR will be conquered before winter, let the war begin [;)]

Break the pact, DoW with Germany and Italy.

Germany takes land. Can Italy take comb/naval? They could initiate combat in BoB and we need 2 air actions with Italy in the east (paradrop and rebase Stuka).

German Ju88 ground strikes in south stack with HQ and ARM (if it still is there and AA gun is not next to them). I think I use other air actions to rebase planes and use lots of ground support.

[AllenK]

Just checking but I presume Germany will align Rumania?

If so, you'll need to set up the forces or send me instructions.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Align and place them to front line so that I can easily move them.

[AllenK]

Germany land. Italy and Japan combined.

The Italian ships in the West Med return to La Spezia.

Japan sends CP's to China and South China Seas.

The Axis decline most of the sea areas available for combat but the Italian FTR initiates in Biscay. Do the Allies wish to add the Spitfire at Bilbao to the mix?

Edit: Wrong thread [&:].
