Mayhemizer vs AllenK: The rematch

[AllenK]

As per previous 2 posts, I think the mountain blocks the supply path.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

That is true. I was too tired to see snow on mountains [>:]

ORIGINAL: Mayhemizer

I aborted every ship to Gibraltar. Game did not allowed to aborts ships to Alexandria even both East and West Med included only disorganized planes. Maybe because this impulse East Med plane was used to initiate combat? Or was it a bug?

To abort to Alexandria you probably had to first left click in the Eastern Med, which would put the ships in the Eastern Med, and then from there go to Alexandria. Yes, the program should have been smart enough to realize that disorganized units can not intercept, but evidently it just saw enemy units, and so did not let you go straight through the Eastern Med.

Italy rails MIL from Poland to Belgium.

Japan occupies empty city of Ningsia in Northern China and US is more that annoyed (roll 1).

In East Prussia Memel is left empty.

2 land attacks. Allied can choose assault or blitz in both combats.

Attack in Vienna

Ctrl + left click was the solution for this case. I guess I was not at my best yesterday evening...

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Assault seems like only real option so I move on.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

In China attacking troops are disorganized

On a 5 US ignores Japan taking Nanning.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany rebases 2 fighters to east. Italy rebases one fighter to Belgium.

Weather ain't so good anymore...

[AllenK]

M/J 41 Allied 5

No DoW

USSR & China, Land; CW & US, Combined; France, Pass.

The CW sends 2 CA from Alexandria to Italian coast 3-box where they load the 2 Inf Divs from Malta. 4 CV's, 4 BB, 2 CA plus an Amph loaded with the Can Mil sail from Gib to Italian Coast 2-box.

CW declines combat in the 3 Med sea areas.

Hampdens successfully ground-strike the Naples Mil.

[AllenK]

In the East, the weather rather puts a dampener on things and the Russians have to content themselves with pushing slightly forward.

[AllenK]

Only 1 combat. CW invades Italy to the SE of Rome. I'll presume Mayhemizer will want to include the nominal.

[AllenK]

Royal Oak and Resolution contribute 4 points of shore bombardment, while Hampdens and Halifaxes add 4 points of air support.

[AllenK]

The troops get ashore at the cost of some disruption.

[AllenK]

USSR rebases a couple of planes: A Lnd to the south and another Ftr towards Zhukov.

No reorgs.

Back to the Axis.

[WIF_Killzone]

Nice invasion, Russia must be quite happy, Germany--not so much.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Looks like Rome is lost and Italy is going to surrender...

M/J Axis 7

No DoW

Germany land, Italy and Japan combined.

Italy gambles and sends all (7) remaining war ships to Italian Coast box 3.

Japan sends 2x CL and Trans to China Sea with MIL, INF and 2x INF div.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Axis 6, Allies 9 is a letdown...

[AllenK]

Guess Italy went for combined or naval then, not land.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Japan moves one unit in southern front and inf div in north. Inf div moves close to Lanchow.

2 Italian units move close to Rome to make a desperate counter attacks next impulse.

Japan lands 7-3 INF in Shanghai.

No land combat.

Italy rebases Sparviero from Rumania to La Spezia. Germany rebases two Bf109's to Poland and Rumania.

On a 5 turn continues.

Weather roll is 1. It means that rain continues in north temperate.
