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

[Orm]

No combat in the Norwegian Sea (Axis 5, Allies 5).

Next up is the Gulf of Guinea.

[Orm]

The Italian SUB finds the Allied shipping in the GoG. (Axis rolled 1, while Allies rolled 10)

The Italian SUB commander take a few moments to consult the guide on Rules for Naval Combat, and concludes that a surface action is the appropriate way forward. All surprise points are used to increase the damage done.

[Orm]

How will CW apply the results on their ships? And will CW remain if the Italian SUB remains on station? And to what port will any eventual aborts seek as a safe haven?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

X to CP
D to CP (Belgian)
A to CVL
A to CVL or CP

CVL aborts as far north as possible towards UK to CW (not FF) port, but not to Gibraltar.

If CP is aborted, to closest CW port.

CW stay.

[Orm]

Three Allied CP are sunk, and the CVL aborted.

Impulse #7 (Axis)

The Italian SUB remain on station.

[Orm]

The Italian SUB is ordered to remain on station, but to avoid further combat. The Italian commander grumbles angrily, but obey the order and goes deep.

The CW CVL is aborted to Bathurst, Gambia. Minor port but selected it since it is used for a CW CP.

Impulse #7 (Axis)

Allies can initiate combat in two sea areas. Will they search? And, if so, which unit initiates? And will there be any additional air? I suppose that committing SUB depend on the Axis air reaction.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

No combat, thank you.

[Orm]

There will now be a break while I await orders from my German Ally.

Impulse #7 (Axis)

There are 3 planes making two ground strikes on the central front in USSR. See picture.

USSR has two FTR2 available for interception. Germany has two FTR2, and one FTR3, available for counter-interception. Will the Soviet Union use their FTR2 to intercept any of the two incoming ground strikes on the central front?

Note that not all fighters can reach both targets.

[jjdenver]

Yes pls have both intercept the GS on the MECH hex, RTB the hex E of smolensk for MIG-3, the other can RTB whence. If the Yak-1 is shot down then MIG-3 to Smolensk instead of E of Smolensk

[Orm]

Germany responds by sending two FTR2 into the fray.

[Orm]

Rudel with his tank destroying wing is cleared.

[Orm]

The Soviet front fighter is aborted.

Germany remains in the combat.

Will USSR stay, or abort, the air combat?

[jjdenver]

stay pls

[Orm]

The second bomber is cleared. And with no more bombers to protect the German fighters return to base.

[Orm]

The Italians hit one target.

[Orm]

And the German Stukas also hit one unit. [:(]
