[Orm]

Japan attacks the isolated cavalry in the mountains blocking the approach to Vladivostok.

Germany makes 4 attacks on the central front in USSR. Two of the attacks are partly accross river and use engineer support. Four attacking units are doubled, by Guderian, for each of the central attacks. (8 units doubled in total)

[Orm]

One Japanese naval bomber provides 2 points in ground support.

Germany provide 1 LND2 with 4 points in support to the attack on hex 44,59. USSR can fire their AA against the incoming bomber. The current odds is 68:15, with +2 die modifier due to attacking panzer formations.

Will USSR use their AA against the ground support?

Yes please, fire away! I guess I remember right, that it gets disorganized after combat and does not give +1, right?

[Orm]

Right. It is sadly so that the AA gets disorganized after the combat.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

How about if you use all tens here and shoot that Stuka down? And to make game exiting, roll less well during land combat [;)]

[Orm]

The AA fire reduces one point in ground support (1,9,8,6,1,10 rolled)

3 of the 5 attacks are automatic.

Germany begins with the attack against hex 46,58 . Will USSR select blitz combat, or assault?

Need to check and think, will be back in about an hour. Some homework to do.

No rush. [:)]

[Mayhemizer_slith]

USSR chooses assault. Stalin demands last stand! Time to save mother Russia and be a hero!

If you roll 10, it doesn’t matter what I choose. If you roll really low, it matters.

[Orm]

And if you roll in the middle it matters as well...

The fractional roll was a success and the final odds was 4:1 +1. And a 5 was rolled. All attackers disorganized and the defenders shattered. And one lost Soviet unit. Which unit will USSR destroy?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

6-3 INF, thanks.

[Orm]

The three automatic attacks are resolved next.

[Orm]

The fractional odds roll is a success.

[Orm]

The German panzers create an breakthrough. (8 rolled)

One of the Soviet units survives. Which one?

AA gun.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Weird. Haven’t yet received first land combat roll, fractional odds came. I guess it comes tomorrow as it does sometimes.

I hope it does arrive eventually. I got my emails, this time. I got a few mails a lot later. And, I think, one or so I never got but that time my ally got it.
