We are going to stamp all over one's Blau Swede Schuhe

Game 1

The CW will have to do a combined this impulse as I need to move some Poles. I've mucked up the CW and US somewhat - partly through inexperience of playing the Allies and partly through the loss of that TRS.

So I won't be able to get a third unit to Antwerp or get the US resource to China this turn [8|]. Soz.

Main thing with CW is getting that CP to North Sea.

USSR claim Bessarabia. If they do refuse, I'll be sending every plane with a strat factor to Ploesti.

France combined. Send the TRANS down to load the Senegal MIL.

[warspite1]

Any ideas? Getting toward the end of the turn. Normally I would try a free hit on factories but of course can't do that. My subs can reach the 0-box of Bay of Biscay but this is well defended. I can't see anything of value is on to be honest - although I could bring two units to Turin - or even one in Marseilles in a continued bid to try and swamp the south (and then hope we get initiative next turn).

[AllenK]

More units in the south would be good but it looks like you would be stripping too much from the north. There are two more Italian units making their way forwards. I think we'll have to manage with what we've got.

Having a go with the subs isn't a bad idea. They can make the 1-box in Biscay or North Atlantic. The 15 CP's in Biscay gives a 20% chance of finding after the mods have been applied, Atlantic is 10%. In Atlantic, the mods mean the CVP can't find you. In Biscay, it's 10% chance. Overall, the chance of you being found is 20% in Atlantic and 30% in Biscay.

Italians are going to go naval to put a CP and escorts into Italian Coast and have another go in West Med.

Still making my mind up about the Japanese. Would like to put in one more attack, which will need a land to orchestrate but think I also need to do a combined to move a couple of MILS to Manchuria.

Edit: Think I'll do the combined. Let me know if you want to send the subs out. North Atlantic might be the better option for subs as CW can bring an Albacore to the 0-box in Biscay. Might be an idea to bring the NAV to Amsterdam to threaten port strikes in the UK. If not, then it (plus any fighters with 5 range) would be useful in the Med.

Land for the Germans - nothing until rail movement please. Subject to what you are doing with the Italians the Germans will rail ENG from Warsaw to Liege and 4-4 INF from Warsaw to Turin or Marseilles.

[AllenK]

Italians are naval, so no change in their land positions. I'll rail the INF to Marseilles as it's got 4 movement.

[warspite1]

Game 1

The CW will do another combined. With the fine weather the Poles are now on their last knockings. I will at least try and make Warsaw and Lodz as difficult as I can to take.

[AllenK]

Poles are doing a sterling job.

France will do combined. There's a couple of naval moves I'm considering and there isn't much land movement needed.

[warspite1]

I've decided to move the French first and the 5 x 5 and 1 x 6 in Marseilles into the Western Med - are you happy with that?

Dunkerque, Strasbourg, Algerie, Dupleix, Montcalm and Emile Bertin?

[AllenK]

ORIGINAL: warspite1

So is that the 5 x 5 and 1 x 6 in Marseilles?

Dunkerque, Strasbourg, Algerie, Dupleix, Montcalm and Emile Bertin?

Yes please.

[warspite1]

Apologies for the throwing once again. You don't need the opposition, your team mate is destroying your navy himself.... [8|]

Is it worth staying in the sea zone? If you try and fight through then the 1 is their throw and that could be UGLY.

[AllenK]

Stay in the sea zone.

[warspite1]

This is the last time I roll the dice for the French..........

Well, it stops them from becoming Vichy and then falling into Axis hands if they collapse Vichy.

Yeah I knew that - and that was my plan all along so there..... [;)]

[warspite1]

Remaining CW/US orders:

Land Movement:

1. Polish 3-2 in Warsaw to 50,47
2. 5-3 in 51,46 to Warsaw
3. 4-3 in 52,47 to 51,46

Air Rebase:

1. Hurricane I (in Dover) to Antwerp

Reorganisation:

Can you see if MacArthur can reorganise any of the three convoys in Manilla? Please do so - even if he can only reorganise one.

[warspite1]

Is the revised game file okay?

All tickety boo.

[warspite1]

With the British strong in Belgium and the Italians making progress, how do you feel about a declaration of war against the Swiss?

With better weather still to come I can disguise this i.e. I won't have to suddenly switch the panzers south.

Possibly but have you seen their starting forces? Will be quite a tough nut to crack.
