Escape from the Wildfire (4-player game).

Post by Orm »

We begin a new 4-player game, with the following options and house rules.

+ Only strategic bombing missions are allowed at night.
+ No CAP allowed.
+ SUBs always excluded in port strikes versus major ports.
+ Partisans must be placed actively, if possible, and then used actively. No 'hiding' partisans in remote areas just to increase partisan value.
+ No air reaction for naval searches from the mainland to the North Atlantic. Reacting from the Azores is ok. And flying actively during own impulse is also ok.
+ Chinese aircraft may not react to any sea area. They may actively fly to the sea area.
+ One VP lost for CW if there is any controlled country by Italy in Sub-Saharan Africa at the beginning of 1942. One more lost at he beginning of 1944, And one more at the end of the game. Up to a total of 3 VPs may be lost for CW that way.
+ France lose one VP if Madagascar is Axis controlled at the end of the game.
+ You can’t move naval units between the Baltic Sea and the North Sea (not even via Fredrikshavn or Kristiansand) if major powers you are at war with control at least 2 of Oslo, Copenhagen and Kiel. If you do not have access to passage, then ships in port must return to the sea zone that they entered from. (The exact wording of this house rule might change)
+ The above rule also applies to Brest and the North Sea unless the power that controls Brest also controls London.
+ If the Axis establishes a Vichy Government, the Commonwealth forces may not establish new land units West of the Garonne river except through an invasion one year after the establishment of the Vichy government. If they already have forces there, they must remove them by the end of the turn following the establishment of a Vichy government, or they are eliminated. CW can invade that area a year after Vichy creation.

Land Moves:

Italy advances in Africa to within striking range of Djibouti.

Japan advances to the Southeast closing in on the Communist Chinese forces.

Germany moves some units West but most move into Poland to attack units there.

Will call assault for you in this attack as that gives you a slight chance of nicking the Germans.

Forgot to mention that the Germans flew a fighter to the zero box of the Baltic to support any naval searches the Allies might try there.

Germany rebases a bomber to Saarbrucken.

One US entry chit removed for France and Britain declaring war on Germany.

Over to the Allies.
