AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

West Med after naval combat.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

3 ground strikes in southern front.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Italians hit their target

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Artillery also hits something

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Stuka hits nothing. I have no idea which hex I'm going to attack...

[AllenK]

Algeria was good for the aborts, thanks.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany rails MIL from Moscow to Rostov and MOT div from Budapest to Rostov.

2 land combats in USSR, one in north and another one in south.

I believe USSR chooses assault in north against INF near Vologna (+14,5).

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Attack goes well, there will be lost of units OOS after this.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Annoying INF is destroyed. Running away like that was mean, it took 2 impulses from Axis troops to hunt it down...

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany rebases He111 to southern front and Ju87 is on their way to south.

Japan rebases FTR from Port Arthur to Korea, NAV to Sasebo, A6M2 to Saipan and NAV to Truk.

Ju52 reorganizes 9-4 INF in southern front.

Back to Allies.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

USSR north after Axis impulse 4

[Mayhemizer_slith]

USSR south after Axis impulse 4

[Mayhemizer_slith]

And Yugoslavia

[AllenK]

Having spent many a Ruble commissioning an independent expert consultant to review the current strategic situation, the Kremlin aren't too happy with the 'Hot debrief'.

[AllenK]

J/A 41 Allied 5

No DoW

France, Naval. CW and US, Combined. USSR and China, Land.

For a laugh, the Soviets send a bomber to the China Sea 3-box.

Queens transport London Mil to Singapore.

Yugoslavian CL and CP sail to Italian Coast. Does anyone want to intercept?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

No intercept, I'm waiting for transporters.

If they stay I initiate combat, no additional planes needed.

[AllenK]

The ships stay in box-0 for what might be a brief tenure.

The French send a CL to the Wet Med. I don't bother with the intercept as it's pretty obvious their intent. It stops in the 4-box.

Another BB joins the gathering at Pearl. A CP sails to the Bering Sea. 2 CP's return to Pearl from Central Pacific.

Four possible areas for naval combat.

[AllenK]

All areas are declined except East Med where the Allies decide to take a punt.

They drop the ball and stub their foot, breaking a toe. Searches Allies 10, Axis 2.

Choosing to include Allied 0-box only, gives the Axis 11 points to spend. 4 points reduces Axis losses to NE, 4 points increases Allied damage to 2D, A, leaving 3 points to select first target. The CP I presume?

[AllenK]

Looks like Mayhemizer has gone off-line so I'll guess the answer is "Yes".

Round 1 tally.

Do the Axis wish to stay?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Well played, I would have chosen exactly like you did.

Italy has war heroes!!! Heroes returns to La Spezia and drinks gallons of wine. Each.
