Mar/Apr '40
Impulse #1 (Axis)
No Port Strikes.
Naval Air:
Italy:
FTR2 -> West Med 2-box
Naval Movement:
Italy:
CP -> La Spezia
No strategic bombing.
Ground Strikes:
Germany:
LND2 -> NW Reims (54,31)
LND2 -> NE Reims (54,32)
LND2 -> W Metz (55,32)
Italy:
LND3 -> Paris
Will France intercept? Germany has one FTR2 that reach three of the targeted hexes, and another FTR2 that reach one hex. If no interception, will France use the AA?

Intercept Paris with Potez. Intercept forest with fighter. Both land in Paris. Fire AA at Stuka in forest if it gets through otherwise same hex.

Germany counters with one FTR2, and an air combat commences in Belgium.

Impressive show by the Italians. Overall, three units disorganized out of 5 posssible is a fairly good result.

Re: The Wildfire Spreads (5-player game)
If it helps no French air or HQ support.
Re: The Wildfire Spreads (5-player game)
That helps. Thank you.
We are at German land movement, after completing the Japanese land moves. However, time for me to make something to eat and do some errands so there will be a break for a couple of hours.

NAV2 + FTR2 + LND2 + ART add 8 points in GS for Japan.
LND2 + LND3 add 6 points west Antwerp.
LND2 + FTR3 add 5 points SE Lille.
Edit: Changed piture, and text, to show that the Japanese ART was used for GS as well.

Re: The Wildfire Spreads (5-player game)
Final odds.
Note that two units are doubled for the attack on hex 51,30, and two units are doubled for the attack on hex 53,30. So two doublings remain.
Edit: The attack E Calais is first.
Edit 2: Picture and save is replaced so that the Japanese ART that was ordered to support the attack was indeed supporting the attack.
