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

[Mayhemizer_slith]

That went better than expected: no losses and front bomber aborted.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Then the clear hex

[Mayhemizer_slith]

During first round USSR bomber is aborted and Axis choose to abort their bomber or fighter.

We stay, how about Axis?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Now I regret shooting that fighter down.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

AA fires north of Minsk with no real effect as result will be rounded up.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Final odds.

I leave rolling for JJ as some of the attacks require knowing how he want's to advance.

[jjdenver]

Hi guys, I need to know what combat table axis will choose in the hexes where it is able to decide:
Poland 45,51
Cernauti
USSR 51,53 (swamp)
finland 34,54

Also if you are able to give me guidance on losses that will speed me up? If not it's of course also ok.

[peskpesk]

Assault, plz

[jjdenver]

The first 3 attacks don't get off on a good foot. But the 4th is just over the bar for a good result */2S. one INF advances into swamp. INF+AA+ENG advance into Cernauti.
The last attack on the river "point" hex is also a roaring success. Champagne all-round at the Kremlin.

Axis goes first if we win the initiative. Re-roll if needed.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

At this point I just have to whine again. Allied production is so difficult I want to cry. Once I almost get it right and always the program gets a "better idea" and ruins everything. Maybe I don't know how to use this, but there is a bottle neck in my convoy line and the program always puts something there to block my plans and I need find which recourse is blocking it this time.

EDIT: Whining helps, now it's working

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Now German productions. I will edit the file to fix this, just let me know how many oils should be saved.

The math does not match.

Res used for production in reality 4 oil + 15 non-oil = 19
Res used for production according to table 2 oil + 15 non-oil = 17
Factories used = 18

Instructions said save 3 oil, but I think only 2 can be saved as one oil recourse was used for reorg. Let me know how many should be saved. I don't even try to make this work, I will edit BPs for Germany.

[Orm]

Go with 2 saved oil, and 29 BPs.

Change the trade to:

Voluntary Resource Lending:
Modified; Germany -> Italy: 4 resources, (0 oil)

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Destroyed pool in JA 1944

[Mayhemizer_slith]

German instructions say "AT". There was 5 BPs left, so I assumed it was JadgTiger.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

German instructions:
Scrap 6-strength FTR2 with 3 in range + 6-strength FTR2 with 4 in range

Do you want to scrap HUN fighter too?

EDIT: Hungary is not added to pool so I move on without scrapping that fighter.
