AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back.

[Orm]

ORIGINAL: Mayhemizer

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.

Turkey will not do it. [:(]

Cut from RAC: 19.7 Axis minor countries

Persia and Iraq
Germany can declare that Persia or Iraq is aligning with it during any Axis declaration of war step if that
minor is neutral and there are a total of at least 4 German corps in any adjacent countries (excluding the USSR and
Turkey).

Italy can declare that Persia or Iraq is aligning with it during any Axis declaration of war step if that minor is
neutral and there are a total of at least 4 Italian corps in any adjacent countries (excluding the USSR and Turkey).
Germany has first claim if both of them could make these declarations.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

No worries. Syria is taken, I use Syrian border to align Iraq.

[AlbertN]

Out I missed these Japanese losses.
One of their first class carriers and lots of aerial assets for pratically no loss from USA standpoint.

I'd place the carrier back in production though; who knows where you'd be set by the end of 1943 - and it's a 2+2 excellent ship. But I do not how much rich Japan is at the moment!

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Japan haven't been rich in this game in long time...

[AllenK]

Oil use.

Japan reorganizes everything (4,1 oil) using 3 oils in Palembang and 1 oil saved in Balikpapan.

Germany reorganizes everything else but MOT ENG and 2-4 moving submarine (3,45 oil) using oils in Krasnodar, Batum and Vichy

Italy reorganizes everything (1,75 oil) using 2 oils in Tallinn.

China just reorganises the sub (0.1) for 0 points.

CW reorganises everything (6.4) using 6 points at various places in Canada.

France reorganises 3 CL, 2 subs and a Trans (0.45) for 0 points spent.

US reorganises all (5.05) for 5 points expended.

USSR reorganises all (1.2) but spends 2 oil points to prevent 1 falling into German hands.

USA beaks down a 4-3 Inf in Belfast to two 1-3 Inf Divs.

[AllenK]

Soviets scrap a Ftr and CL.

Japan scraps all 4 CVP's

France scraps an old BB.

US scaps a CVP.

US aligns Mexico.

US & China Combined, France & CW Naval, USSR Land.

US flies Wildcat to West Med 3-box and P-40 to The Marshalls 3-box.

US sends CP to Hawaiian Is, 3 CV and 4 CA to The Marianas. Do the Japs wish to intercept?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

No thank you. I hope both roll high...

[AllenK]

They stay in the 3-box.

2 BB, 2 CL and Trans sail to The Marshalls 3-box. THe Trans loads the Marine from Midway.

China sends 2 subs to South China Sea 2-box.

CW sends out various escorts. In other moves, sends subs to South China Sea 3-box (1) and 2-box (2). Belfast loads Inf in Eritrea and runs it up to Suez. Trans from Bombay picks up 7-4 Mot from Eritrea into Red Sea 0-box. Other Trans in Bombay takes Cape Town Mil to Suez. CA to East India Ocean. Intercept?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

No thank you

[AllenK]

CV from Liverpool to St Vincent 1-box. 2 CA to Bengal. Intercept? Japs have CA and 2 CL in 3-box.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Yes please with CL, intercept also if more is coming. If they move to next sea area, there will no be interception.

[AllenK]

On a 7, the intercept fails but it doesn't matter as the 2 CA's stay in the 4-box. BB Malaya also sails. The intercept fails on an 8 but the BB stays in Box-2.

The Queens load US Marines and bring them down to Pearl. Sub to Italian Coast 3-box.

France puts escorts to West Med 3-box.

Having declined Italian Coast, the following will be areas of potential naval combat.

[AllenK]

Bay of Bengal.

Do the Japs wish to fly a Nav? It can make the 2-box.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

No thanks, it will intercept south china sea box 2 later. In south china sea FTR will intercept to box 0.

[AllenK]

Both sides find each other when they both roll a 1.

How would the Japs like to apportion their losses?
