Minor Conflict: Warspite1 vs Mayhemizer AAR

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Version 3.0.1 production seems better. For some reason Us ends resource from homeland, not from Philippines and I can't change that. Maybe I can do it later.


Naval air
CW sends another LND to Baltic Sea.

Naval move
2 submarines from Gibraltar to North Sea.
1 submarine to Italian Coast.

French TRS to CVB.


Naval combat
CW initates on Baltic Sea, again.

I don't send any Axis planes as there is no reason to do that.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Allied 3, Axis 2.

CW bombers and Axis ships in high boxes both find.

AA fire 1 10 9 8 6 8

No effect to ships.

I assume there is another round.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

This time Allied 2 and Axis 3. All Allied planes find, as do German ships.

CW saves 2 points they have.

AA fire: 1 2 7 10 9.

CW uses 2 points to increase damage to D A.

Both ships are aborted.

Allies stay, how about Axis?

[warspite1]

Yes, the Axis stay.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Allied 5, Axis 1.

Only one bomber finds, no surprise points.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

And I was worried this might end in a bad way...

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Result was A.

CW aborts one CP.

Allies stay, how about Axis?

[warspite1]

Yes, just assume the Axis have to stay until all destroyed please.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

ORIGINAL: warspite1

Yes, just assume the Axis have to stay until all destroyed please.

That's the spirit! And rolls are 6 and 5, naval combat is over.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Allies go all in.

France ground strikes German spear head.

Do you want to intercept? 2 planes are in range. France has one 4 factor fighter in range.

EDIT: you have also AA gun next to target hex.

[warspite1]

The 6-strength flies please.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

This a morale boost to German spear head! To French, not so much.

9 build points worth of French planes and pilots come down in flames...

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Where do you want to land your fighter?

[warspite1]

Brussels please

[Mayhemizer_slith]

How is this possible? I forgot to bring that GAR again from Denmark... It's OK, France stands alone and I roll horrible weather or turn ends.


Land move
ComChi retreats, Sian MIL heads deeper to east.

One Natchi unit moves adjacent to Wuhan.

CW swaps units in Belgia/Lille.

France sends one unit from Alps towards Paris.


Rebase
CW fighter from Belgia to Dover.

France sends fighter and fighter-bomber from south to north.


Turn does not end (5)

Weather is perfect for the Axis.

Brussels please

Plane is on target hex. If that is a problem, I can replay this tomorrow morning.

No that's okay - I changed it hoping you had not executed, but I wouldn't ask you to re-do if you had.

May/Jun 1940
Impulse: 9 (Axis)

Declarations of War and Alignments: None

Japan: Land
Germany: Combined
Italy: Land

Port Attack: None
Naval Air: None

Naval Movement:
Germany

A small task force (1 x BB and 2 x PB) takes up position in the Baltic Sea 4-box. They decline to initiate combat.

Strategic Bombing: None
Ground Strike: None

Rail Movement: None
Land Movement:
Japan

The Japanese move against the Sian MIL in the north and a marine unit takes Taiyuan (Congress have taken up summer quarters at No.52 Couldn't Care Less Crescent - a 10 is thrown).

Germany

The Germans re-position in Belgium

Land Combat:
Italy

The Italians make a move in the Alps. A NAV is brought in to make the odds 14.5:8 (3:2)

Germany

The Germans target a French MIL in Belgium. The odds are 36:4 (7:1) and so automatic unless the French bring in their bomber. The Germans have the fighter you can see in the picture to counter-intercept with. What do the French want to do?

Japan

The Japanese force in the north attack the Sian MIL. The odds are 7:1 (automatic)

[Mayhemizer_slith]

No planes, thank you. MIL pays the price for France to live one more impulse.

[warspite1]

May/Jun 1940
Impulse: 9 (Axis)

So there are 3 attacks - two are automatic (China and Belgium) and the third is a 14.5:8 (3:2)+1 in the alpine mountains.

What table do the French wish to use?
