AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back.

[AllenK]

The Ftr and Lnd to overrun.

I'll post the save file from just before the combat on Tech Support. I can't get the game to move on.

Another thought. Shouldn't the Mar be showing as in supply? RAC: "Invading units are in supply for the rest of the impulse they invade."

[AllenK]

The game continues.

By trial and error, I found that if I let Zuikaku survive, the game moved on to destroy the Jap Lnd and Ftr on Midway. On the rebase, with Mayhemizer's approval, I simply moved the CV into The Marshalls and rigged the intercept to succeed and destroy the CV.

No rebases or reorgs.

Turn continues on an 8.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Japan lost 21 BB's in that overrun...[&o]


N/D 1941 Axis 13

No DoW

Germany aligns Turkey

Germany land, Italy and Japan combined

Japan sends CVL (no plane) to Cape Naturaliste box 0 to initiate combat.

Italy sends CA to West Med box 2 to initiate combat.

Naval combat in three sea areas.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

West Med: Axis 8, Allies 6. No combat. It seems to be very hard find each other in West Med. Almost like they don't want to find each others...

Bay of Bengal: Axis 2, Allies 9. Axis use 2 points to drop own damage to NE and remaining points to increase Allied damage to X D.

CW ships is sinks.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Cape Naturaliste: Axis 8, Allies 1. No combat.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Tirana will fall. That INF had no clue that Italian NAV would come and bomb them [:)]

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany rails ARM HQ Manstein to Turkey, ENG to Kazan and Artillery to Yugoslavia.

Turkey MOT captures Damascus and MTN overruns 2 disorganized French CP's in Beirut. Rolls are 1 and 9. One is captured and another is escaped. Where do you to rebase that CP? Is Suez good place to go?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I just realized something. German garrison units in USSR are counted only in European side of the map.

When partisan appears, can they be places only to European map or anywhere?

[AlbertN]

Yes, "Siberia" part has its own different table.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

To move on I rebase CP to Suez. This can be redone easily if you want it to go somewhere else, all other land moves are done.

Only one land combat is declared and it is automatic in Tirana.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Italy rebases fighters in USSR and Italy few hexes.

Turn ends on a 1.

Partisan appears in Korea. It is placed on resource hex adjacent to Seoul.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

USSR south at the end of N/D 1941

Question: How can Axis place CP to Caspian Sea? Is it possible?

[AllenK]

All German submarines and planes returns to base.
Italian CA in West Med box 2 and CA in Italian coast box 1 stays at sea. All submarines and planes returns to base.

China Sea: 2x CL in box 1 and CL in box 4 stays at sea.
Bay of Bengal: 3x CL/CA in box 4 stays at sea.
The Marians: CV and CA in box 4 stays at sea.
South China Sea: Ships in boxes 1 and 4 stays at sea.
Sea of Japan: CL in box 1 stays at sea.
Japanese Coast: CL in box 1 stays at sea.
Bismarck Sea: CL in box 1 stays at sea.
East Indian Ocean: CL in boc 3 stays at sea.

CW leaves out the various Atlantic and Med escorts and pickets. A CA stays out in Arabian Sea 2-box and Red Sea 2-box.

France keeps escorts in the West Med.

US leaves Navs out in The Marshalls and Hawaiian Is 3-boxes. CA's stay out in Christmas Is, Clarion and Bering Sea. A BB stays out in Central Pacific 0-box.

CW ships mostly return to usual ports. Trans off South Africa return to Bombay. Subs go to Calcutta.

France go back to ?Oran. US ships mostly return to Pearl but a couple of CA's back to San Diego.

Question: How can Axis place CP to Caspian Sea? Is it possible?

It can be done but it is unlikely that it can be done.

Only way is that is if Persia is aligned to the Axis country that wants to place the convoy.

1 CP per turn may be placed in Bandar Shah if Persia is a aligned minor country.

So in games that the Allies refuse to DOW Persia it is impossible. But in other games it is only hard to do it. [;)]

That was my plan: Build CP, align Persia before CP comes to play and place it to Caspian Sea. I just wanted to make sure it works that way and I don't build CP for no reason. Thanks Orm [:)]

[Orm]

align Persia before CP comes to play

How do you align Persia? [&:]

Edit: Never mind. That was dumb thinking on my part. [:(][:D]

Do you want to use the CP for supply purposes?

Edit 2: You plan getting the 4 German corps into Iraq?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I just aligned Turkey. I will rail some units there to align Iraq and Persia.

I'm thinking CP is easy way to keep units in supply near Baku. I need HQ few hexes west to give garrison value in western USSR.

[Jagdtiger14]

It can be done with Italian units as well. I don't have the rules in front of me, and never had a situation where Turkey was aligned before Iraq/Persia...so not sure if Turkish units could do it.

[AlbertN]

You need 4 corp sized, land units, of a Major for what I know.

But I doubt as well to have ever seen a situation where Turkey is aligned before Persia is aligned / conquered!
