Mayhemizer vs AllenK: The rematch

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Yes please!

[AllenK]

Searches of Axis 3, Allies 8 draw a blank.

The RAF send the Halifaxes to bomb Munich and the Hampdens to bomb Hamburg. A Me-109B can intercept the Hamburg raid. Do they wish to fly?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Yes please.

Land plane same hex it started. Unharmed please

[AllenK]

Air combat Axis 12 AC, Allies 10 DC. The Hampden clears through. The fighter returns to Magdeburg.

The Hampdens destroy 1 BP on a roll of 9. The Halifaxes miss on a 5.

USSR moves units towards the borders with the Axis and Zhukov back to a rail line.

The Chinese tinker with the front line.

French Inf moves into Bordeaux.

USSR rebases 4 Lnd from Murmansk area back to the Northern front.

CW rebases a couple of CVP.

Alexander reorgs the Dutch Trans, a BB and a CA.

Weather roll is an 8.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Any volunteers taking this map to Berlin and explain how it happened?

-Weather is always bad.
-Greece is far from captured, CW has 4 corps there. Only option is to withdraw.
-Yugoslavia is aligned with CW.
-Yugoslavian forces threats Italy, Hungary and Austria.

Wow, some big lessons learned Mayhemizer, the corporal is going to hang you.

Never underestimate the British to get forces gathered quickly at key locations. Guess you basically spread your forces out too much and got greedy. What to do now, Vichy and rush more germs to knock out Yugoslavia and Greece?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

The biggest mistake was to attack Greece and allow USSR break the pact. I can't take all my troops to Greece as USSR may declare war any time.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

J/F 41 Axis 7

No DoW.

Germany land, Italy and Japan combined (Japan needs to bring HQ to China)

Naval air

Italy: Erone to East Med box 3 and FTR to West Med box 2.
Germany: FW Condor to Italian Coast box 4 and FTR to box 2.

Japan sends 3 CP to China Sea. CL and trans takes INF HQ and MAR div to Tsingtao.

Axis will initiate combat in all three sea areas.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

East Med first. Axis don't fly extra planes.

Do Allies want to fly from Malta or Greece?

[AllenK]

Spitfire from Malta to the East Med 0-box, if you please.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Axis 10, Allies 6 is a disappointment.

West Med next. Germany sends FW Condor to box 3 and He115 to Box 2.

Allies fly any planes?

[AllenK]

Beaufighter to the 0-box, if you please.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I don't think France want to fly as there are no Axis ships. Italian Coast is better, there is one ship

[Mayhemizer_slith]

No luck for Axis...

Axis 8, Allies 4.

How do you want to play this? Choose only box 2 and avoid combat or something else?

[AllenK]

That sounds a fine plan. The little picket has done it's job.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

And Italian Coast.

Italy fly Sparviero to box 2.

Allies want to fly also? French NAV can reach box 1.

[AllenK]

No thanks.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Finally something for the Axis. Both rolled 2 and there was an air to air combat: Sunderland was shot down!

Do Allies want to stay? Axis stay.

Edit: CW has 2 CA's left in the sea area.

[AllenK]

RN will retire from the area, back to Cagliari, thanks.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Incoming few ground strikes. That 1 was needed in China!
