TOP SECRET ORMSTER + WARSPITE ONLY

[warspite1]

My first thought is to play this impulse. Lots to do and little time to do it. [:D]

warspite1

I'm happy to stay up if you are - we just need to let the Axis know.

[Orm]

Lets move on then.

[Orm]

So what is your thoughts for the impulse?

[warspite1]

Initial thought:

CW - Naval. Nothing to move in Poland, the ground strike against the CW in Belgium was unfortunate and well, not much else can move!

France - Combined to try and have another crack at the Baltic. Is it worth getting the French in Syria to sea for convoy defence purposes?

China - Land

USSR and USA - Combined.

Except the French cruisers are all disorganised [8|]

So if you don't need the French fleet in the Eastern Med then the French have no reason not to do a land. Then it becomes a case of how best to defend against the coming storm? A solid-ish line as strong as possible -or a defence in depth with a second row as now?

[Orm]

France has no ships left to search with in the Baltic so that is out. Edit: To late as usual. [:)]

While CW needs a naval there is trouble with the Netherlands TRS. I can use it to load the Indian Corps in Aden. But it cannot return to Egypt. So then I need a land move to unload the Indian to Egypt.

[Orm]

CW go with a naval. Should I do the first part with the impulse?

Posts crossed

So could the TRS go to Malta and we rely on the Indian getting to Egypt next turn?

warspite1

Just need to know - do you need the French help in the Eastern Med? Otherwise I will do a Land.

[Orm]

No point in sending it to Malta unless it stays there.

[Orm]

If you have use for the land moves then do a land.

warspite1

Okay - land it is.

[warspite1]

My suggested moves for the French and Soviets

Soviets
ENG to Baku
1-5 Cav Div to 77,78

French
3-3 in Lille then north to south:
5-1 (where it is)
4-3, 5-3
5-2, 2-3
6-4, 4-5MOT
3-1
1-3, 3-2

Soviet Re-base
Fighter to Tehran

[Orm]

Soviet Re-base Fighter to Tehran

Good thinking. The fighter can be used to hunt partisans.

[warspite1]

So are you ready to kick off or do you need more time?

[Orm]

I am at rail movement.

[Orm]

You do know that Japan cannot interfere in Persia?

warspite1

Wasn't 100% sure - but I do now [:)]

Cav can move into Tehran instead then.

[Orm]

To interfere in Persia Japan needs to DOW USSR or act as peacekeeper and defend Teheran. Once Teheran is captured Persia is conquered and the Japanese go home.

[Orm]

What about the Soviet rail move? Rail the cav division to the Finnish border?

Edit: Never mind. That rail route is not yet open.

Edit2: Timoshenko instead?
