Rematch 4 player game (Orm, Peskpesk, jjdenver and Mayhemizer)

[Orm]

Germany counter-intercepts with the FTR2.

[Orm]

A short, and vicious, air combat won by RAF.

Edit: Note that it was CW that selected the target to destroy. If you want the fighter destroyed instead of the bomber I can go back and change. (At least for 30 minutes or so)

This is good.

This is good.

No, it is not. It had been good if the British fighter had been destroyed instead. And the bomber had disorganized both targets. [;)]

[Orm]

The war is over the victorious Axis high command declares, and encourage peace talks to take over now that Britain, and France, has been beaten.

The British forces in the Dunkirk pocked are encouraged to surrender since they obviously have been abandoned to their fate. Field Marshal von Rundstedt suggests a parley to discuss the terms of the surrender of the British Expeditionary Force.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Sorry, we can’t accept surrender. There are too few CW men to hold that many German POWs. So keep fighting [;)]

[Orm]

Land movement:

Army Group von Rundstedt advance on the Dunkirk pocket.
Army group von Leeb pursue the retreating French forces.
Army group von Bock concentrate to clear up the remains of the Paris defenders.

11th Army tries to outflank the communist line from the South
12th Army, supported by the Nagoya militia, the marsch though the mountains towards the Szechewan province.
The Japanese marine forces, under Yamamoto, attempt to outflank the Chihkiang line from the south.
The Formosa militia advance towards Pakhoi.

Debark:
MTN -> Canton
INF -> Haichow

Germany makes three attacks. The two against the French are automatic. The attack versus the British forces in Calais are currently at +12,8 if Germany selects blitz. CW can add up to 8 points in defensive shore bombardment. According to my calculations, the odds with full defensive shore bombardment is +8,6 blitz.

Will CW add any defensive shore bombardment?

I do not think that either side has any ground support available.

Full shore bombardment. Use lower box ships first.

[Orm]

No DoW

USSR combined (land taken for free moves in Manchuria).
France and China land, CW combined, US pass.


Naval air
CW FTR2 to West Med box 1.

Axis can send planes from La Spezia or Sicily. Any planes want to fly?

[Orm]

So we are at naval combat? No other naval air, and no naval moves?

If so, then no additional Axis air to the West Med. Axis avoid combat, if possible. And if air combat, abort back to the sea area after first air combat round.
