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

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Please confirm German return to base. Should there be NAV3 in Italian Coast. I don’t have one on my save.

[peskpesk]

Italian Coast: NAV3 -> 73,37 (Sicily)

Should be East Med -> 73,37 (Sicily)

[Orm]

Actually, can the German NAV3 land in hex 74,39 on Sicily? That is, if it isn't already done.

Yes, East Med NAV3 is landing Sicily. I was worried should there be another NAV3 also.

Weird thing happened after I edited German div from Crete to Greece: it was placed to adjacent hex. So I reloaded and moved it to Italy.

Also for some reason CW production was changed from 15 BPs and 9 saved oils to 16 BPs and 8 saved oils. But I go with that.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Preliminary production
China 3 BPs
CW 16 BPs, 8 oils saved
FF 0 BPs, 1 oil saved
US 10 BPs + 21 saved BPs, 1 oil saved
USSR 17 BPs + 9 saved BPs, 1 oil saved

Return to base
CW leaves ecorts to seas and some taskforces to West Med and BoB.
US returns few CPs.

Oil use
USSR reorg all for 0,8 oil.
CW reorg all but one ships for 5,4 oil.
US reorg all for free.

It looks to me like China built one GARR and one CAV Div. Is the GARR correct, or should it have been a MIL?

[Orm]

No declarations of war. Germany aligns Bulgaria. No reaction from US (7).

Land: Germany
Combined: Japan
Naval: Italy

No port strikes.

Germany fly one FTR2 to the 2-box of the Eastern Mediterranean.


Naval Movement:

Japan:
TRS+AMPH (Hanoi) -> China Sea (0-box) and embark CAV, MTN Div, Para Div from Japan.
CA (Bangkok) -> China Sea (0-box)

Italy:
2 x CA (West Med) -> La Spezia
2 x CA (Italian Coast 2-box) -> Italian Coast (0-box)
BB + CA (La Spezia) -> Italian Coast (4-box)


Japan bombs Chunking with one LND2. China can intercept with one FTR2. Japan can counter-intercept with one FTR2 (5 strength). Will China intercept the raid?

Yes please and land to Chunking.

Sorry.

GAR is correct. I chanced it back and forth...

[Orm]

Japan counter-intercept with their fighter.

[Orm]

*censored*

[Orm]

How will China proceed?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Shoot down fighter and stay if possible.

[Orm]

The Japanese pilots show their true skill and achieve absolutely nothing at all. The Japanese bombers turn back to base in disgust.

[Orm]

Fun thing. The die-roller in MWIF rolled exactly the same numbers as the external die roller that we use. Except in reverse. I think I would have preferred the MWIF die roller result. [:)]

Rail Movement - Germany:
INF (Strasbourg) -> Memel
INF (Strasbourg) -> Lodz
AA (Lille) -> 48,45


Land Movement:

Japan:
MTN (91,130) -> Kunming (No US reaction (9))
As a result the Kunming warlord transfer their allegiance to Japan.


Over to Germany for the second part of our impulse

Japanese forces outflanking the Chinese defences and take the mountainous rote to Kunming.

Look on the bright side. Things could have been worse. If it were coded, you could have been using the bounce combat optional rule. That could have cost the Japanese both planes. [;)]
