Re: A Blazing World (4-player game)
Axis will search in several sea areas. First in the Arabian Sea. Will CW add any air here?
Second search will be in CVB where CW can add the Dutch FTR2 (one SUB in the 2-box). Will it fly?

Fighter to 0 and Sunderland to 3 box in Arabian Sea. Fly the Dutch plane to 0 box in other zone.
Re: A Blazing World (4-player game)
Italy decides to play it safe in the Arabian Sea, and the SUB is excluded.

Allies can search in two sea areas. Japan has air that can fly to both. Will Japan search anywhere?

No Allied searches.

Impulse #1 (Axis)
No strategic bombing. No ground strikes.
Rail movement:
Germany:
GARR Kiel -> La Spezia
MIL D-town -> La Spezia
MIL Kiev -> Brest
Land Movement:
Germany:
AG von Bock continue their march towards Archangelsk.
AG Rommel struggles in the mud, and move slowly eastwards towards Kazan.
AG Guderian continue to try and cross the Caucasian mountains in the pouring rain.
AG Rundstedt moves east towards Rostov.
AG von Leeb starts to besiege Krasnodar
Debark:
Germany:
GARR -> Oran
INF Div -> Algiers
INF Div -> Tunis
Germany makes one land combat against the Tashkent MIL in central Russia. Current odds is 34:4 or automatic since Germany has one MECH in the attack and can make it blitz. Axis has one 4-strength FTR3 for interception. the Soviet Union has three bombers available. Will USSR fly any defensive support?

No support
Re: A Blazing World (4-player game)
Without any Soviet support there was no need to call in the feared, dreaded, and perhaps worshipped, die.

You forgot cursed, in at least two senses of the word. It is cursed, and we curse at it.Orm wrote: Fri Dec 22, 2023 10:22 am Without any Soviet support there was no need to call in the feared, dreaded, and perhaps worshipped, die.![]()
Possibly the fact that we curse at it is the reason it is cursed. Our curses work!
I thought I knew how to play this game....
