Pat vs Ronnie GW AAR

[rkr1958]

By the way, for any land combat against the Belgiums or Poles, I choose the assault table.

What are the policies about outside comments on this game?

Map question - which Major Power is ( Ang) ?

[Centuur]

Ang is the abbreviation for Angola, to which country the hex belongs.

I'm only going to commend on things which can't be changed anymore.

The two Belgian INF should have been put into the hex west of Brussels, because Brussels can't be taken by Germany in the surprise impulse if it is empty. The CAV in Liège chooses the Assault and the Axis advance stops just before the gates of the capital..

Now you tell me! [:)]

What are the policies about outside comments on this game?

Pat needs to weigh in on this too. But my view, right now, is that comments that don't "influence" the game are fine. Also, my view is that critiques on things that can't be change (e.g., Centuur's comments above) are fine but not on things still developing. Again, this is just my view. We need to hear from Pat on his view on this.

[ashkpa]

No issue with comments per Ronnie's stated constraint. I am hoping to learn. It has been remarkable how many "small" rules I've been learning about since playing MWIF, even though I have played WIF off-and-on for nearly 20 years. I also understand where my main weaknesses are in the game (large land powers - Germany and Russia), so comments after the fact should help a lot.

All the axis powers take land actions.
Forgot to save the ground strike in BE, both Heinkels flew and the first rolled 4,1,1 disorganizing both Be corp.
Below are the other two GS.

[ashkpa]

And the strat bombing that occurred before.

Awaiting word on the destinations for the overrun Danish navy.

Edinburgh.

[ashkpa]

Germany moved through all of Denmark, the CP made it to Edinburgh, but the two CAs (Peder Skram and Niels Jiel) were destroyed in port.
First attack is in China.

[ashkpa]

Well has can be seen that was the Warsaw attack. The campaign did not end has I would have liked. Rolls of 4 will do that. Note, I did decide to destroy the Poznan Corp for you - not much difference between the two.
Here is the attack in China

[ashkpa]

Final attack in Belgium.

[ashkpa]

Well my attack rolls have certainly been underwhelming this impulse (poor in general: 12, 10, 17 (on a +17), 9, 9, 9, 4, 8).

During the air reorganization phase the FR can intercept the air transport mission. Two Me109's can intercept if you fly. Do you fly?

No thanks.

Canton Front

[ashkpa]

European Fronts

[ashkpa]

The Polish and S. China fronts lost a lot of steam with the poor attacks resulting in significant disorganization. I'll have to adjust and see how it goes.

[rkr1958]

Phew ... I know it was only a 1 out of 10 chance (10%) that the turn would end but I sure was sweating it. It would have been bad (for me) if this turn had ended and you got the initiate to move first on the next turn.

The turn continues much to my relief!

[rkr1958]

The USSR makes a claim to Bessarabia. Do you allow the claim?
