London is bombed for effect


Picture from Jul/Aug '41 Impulse #8 (Axis) - Strategic Bombing

Scandal engulfs the House of Commons! Churchill suggests arming the barrage balloons to defeat the Flying Boat menace. Also, head of RAF radar command relieved from duty.

Axis send up one FTR2 to each of the three Allied attempts to affect the land combats.

We begin with the air combat close to Vitebsk.

Near Vitebsk the bomber is aborted and the combat ends.

Next up is the air combat close to Kiev

Will USSR select the fighter, or bomber, to be destroyed?

And will USSR stay and fight, or abort?

Please destroy bomber and SU will stay for another round. Thanks.

The German fighter is mauled, and that ends the fight.

And the final air combat.

And, finally, the Japanese win a air combat over the Chinese.

The first combat is the one next to Novgorod.

All three German attacks will be blitz. While both Japanese attacks has been decided to assault by the Chinese.

The German panzer forces pay a heavy prize, but they speedily cross the river.

Next attack.

The second attack is a success.

I can go back if USSR want to shatter another unit.

And the third attack.

And here Germany captures the hex but lose a precious engineer.

First Japanese attack.

What unit will China take as loss?


Picture from Jul/Aug '41 Impulse #8 (Axis) - Land Combat

Difficult to choose, but I take loss for AT gun so that GAR can stay in that hex alone.

The result of the second combat in China. Once again the attacker would have had a better result if the fractional odds roll had failed. And this is one of the reasons I dislike the 2d10 LCT. [:(]
