Hard Knocks: Chicharito19's trying to learn, a Global Campaign experience

[Chicharito19]

France and CW decide to not do any strategic bombing. Similarly they decline carpet bombing. Neither performs any ground strike.

Nationalist China does not perform a ground strike.

No one utilizes rail movement at this time.

USSR makes no land movements

[Chicharito19]

Due to Japan's earlier blunder of disorganizing their potential attacking units, Nationalist China move the 13th Res and the 6th Infantry to bolster Chengchow's defense.

The HMS Terror is one of the all-time best warship names. I just wish that it was a KGV class warship.

[Chicharito19]

In the south Nationalist China moves on Canton....later realized again that there really is nothing they can do here as they wouldn't have any kind of attack. Oh well, it looked good in my mind until I realized that the rivers halved their attack strengths anyway. Or actually it looks like more than half?

[Chicharito19]

Yeah, I saw that and loved it. So I couldn't help but to use it. "Welcome to the TerrorDome" - Public Enemy circa 1990

[Chicharito19]

CW moves 4.5 inch arty to Harwich. I suppose I can eventually move that to France.

[Chicharito19]

USA makes no land movements

[Chicharito19]

Gort HQ and the XIV Mot Corps debark at Calais.

[Chicharito19]

The CW then sends Hurricanes to Boulogne.

[Chicharito19]

That's it for now. Sorry I've not posted in a few days. Real life concerns.

In China you should move AA gun to same hex with other land units. All guns should never fight alone as their combat factor is 1 when alone.

[Chicharito19]

Thanx. I think you’ve mentioned that to me before and I forgot. I will remember now.

Also, the Chinese should never move a unit onto the coast until there is a US carrier fleet there as well. Otherwise it just gives the Japanese battleships something to do.

Also, the most important naval units of any naval power are its transports. Everything else is there to get your transports through and stop the other guy's. (OK, convoy points are also important.) Two cruisers in the two box are not sufficient protection.

Also, have the Allies provided escorts for their convoy points? Doing so is a very high priority task.

S/O Axis Impulse #3

Germany does not declare war on the US or China.

Italy does not declare war on any majors.

Japan does not declare war on any of the majors.


Germany chooses land action
Italy combined action
japan choses land action

Germany does not do a port attack against Poland and Danzig. And no German Naval Air at this time.

No Naval Air from Italy. No Naval Air from Japan.

Japan leaves it's cruisers in the Sea of Japan and the China Sea.

[Chicharito19]

Ok, at this point, since Italy was only allowed either a combined action or pass in the Action Phase. However, that leaves only enough for 1 Naval move. Not much I can do with that though. Italy decides to send one cruiser unit to the Western Med. There it waits to keep an eye on the British and French.

[Chicharito19]

Germany decides not to Carpet Bomb Polish defenders. However, Germany does provide for ground strikes in Warsaw. This results in 1 Polish Rydz HQ unit being disorganized.

[Chicharito19]

The results of the ground strike on Warsaw. The Rydz HQ disorganized. Should I have opted for carpet bombing instead?

[Chicharito19]

Germany also attack's air defenses near Strasbourg. France responds by using ALL of their air defense shots and ends up with 8 air defense factors. The ground strike roll was a 9 and had no effect.

[Chicharito19]

Air Defense Strike results, no damage.

[Chicharito19]

Germany does no rail movement. Italy does no rail movement.
