Mayhemizer vs AllenK: The rematch

[AllenK]

The North Sea the Allies quickly locate the Kriegsmarine but realise they too have been spotted as the Germans turn to engage.

[AllenK]

The CW use their surprise points to increase damage.

[AllenK]

The CW allow the French CA to absorb the punishment. Remarkably, it survives.

[AllenK]

The Allies stay to fight. What to the Axis wish?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany will stay and fight.

Question: How does the French CL get into the Baltic 4 box if Denmark is conquered?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

2nd impulse S/O. Now it is in box 3. Denmark was conquered little later.

[AllenK]

Searches of Allied 8 and Axis 6 ends the battle. 10 and 9 in the Baltic is a non-event.

Russia, and both sets of Chinese make some minor land adjustments.

The CW swap the Spitfire and P-40 in Amsterdam. A Hampden rebases to Malta.

Nimitz reorgs a Trans while Gort reorgs the Queens and that wraps things up for the impulse.

[Jagdtiger14]

The French naval report above said 4 box...which lead me to believe it came from a French port into the Baltic.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I guess it is a mistake or misleading in purpose. We all know Allies and their habits...

Yes, it was typing error by myself, following several various computer problems leaving me having to repeatedly re-type the text. It should have said North Sea. Original post now edited.

N/D 39 Axis 3

No DoW

Japan naval, Italy combined and Germany land.

Italian FTR and NAV fly to Eastern Med box 2.

Japan takes 1 CP to China Sea. 2 transporters pick up AA gun and MIL from Japan and Trans + Amph go to Japan waiting for more units. Some cruisers go to protect CP's, just in case. Larger fleet sail to China Sea and minor fleet to South China Sea.

Italian Trans sails to Italian coast and picks up Mech.

Japanse G3M2 attacks Ghangsha with great result.

Germany rails Mot div from Denmark to Frankfurt and GAR from Breslau to Kopenhagen.

Germany prepares to attack in Poland. Troops move in Netherlands and near Belgian border, waiting for better weather.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Only one attack is done. Some might call it "close call", Germans call it "Peace of cake".

[Mayhemizer_slith]

German twin-engined fighter in rebased to coastal hex in Netherlands. FTR from Poland is rebased to cover Berling and Kiel.

Weather is getting better and better, but turn looks like to be quite short.

[AllenK]

N/D 39 Allied 5

No DoW

US & USSR Combined. Rest Land.

P-40 flies to North Sea 2-box.

US CV's pay a courtesy visit to Mexican Coast.

Do Axis wish combat in the North Sea?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Yes please. And intercept with He115 to North Sea box 2.

[AllenK]

The Axis initiate searching. The CW send the Vildebeast to the 2-box. The He-115 files as ordered. Searches of Axis 7 and Allied 8 draw a blank.

The French continue preparing the line. CW makes a couple of adjustments, as do the Chinese. The Poles move to try a long odds attack on Konigsberg. CW Mot disembarks at Suez.

One land combat declared at Konigsberg 9.5:5 +1. Do the Axis wish to add any ground support and which table?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Yes please, fly with Ju88 and land it as far west as possible.

Assault table chosen.

[AllenK]

Well, it was always a long-shot. Still, I'd rather take a 7 here than in some crucial combat.

[AllenK]

The Spit rebases back to the UK from Amsterdam. The French move their fighter slightly.

No re-orgs.

Over to the Axis.
