Rematch 4 player game (Orm, Peskpesk, jjdenver and Mayhemizer)

[jjdenver]

ORIGINAL: cfinch

i am not sure why reading the recent moves made me think of this, and happy to post elsewhere but i was wondering your thoughts on the following

what if you could move what you want - period (i guess like a super combined)? i may be missing something but using GE as example
- they can move the subs out first phase every turn vs having to await a naval
- they can activate subs every phase vs only some

but all in all you are limited by air missions and searches disorg the subs so that is self limiting
there are obvious similarities - benefits / drawbacks offsetting for other powers

i am wondering if the change would totally upset the cart or just make a different (but simpler? as you dont have to track naval combined etc) game

Hi cfinch, happy to see you discuss this but maybe not on an AAR thread. Can you please post it in another part of the forum?

[peskpesk]

No support from Guderian. Thx.

[jjdenver]

No SU planes flying ground support - will Axis fly any planes?

[peskpesk]

Plz send Lnd3 JU88A1 (return to same hex) and GE FTR2(return to RUM HQI) .

[jjdenver]

SU intercepts, air combat results in bomber cleared through.

[jjdenver]

1 AA gun fires and stops 2 a2g factors. Soviet tanks roll forward in a successful attack.



SU rebases FTR and LND near d-town and FTR in north rebases along Dvina river north of Vitebsk
CW rebases Beaufighter in Egypt closer to Med
US rebases Dauntless from Pago Pago to Palmerton island farther southeast, Tomahawk and Dauntless from Pearl to Washington Island and Palmyra (south)
cvp's at Pearl that were not on CV's rebase onto CV's

[Orm]

No declarations of war.

May/Jun '42
Impulse #6 (Axis)

Land: Germany, Japan
Combined:
Naval:
Air: Italy

Japan port strikes the CW merchant ships in Aden.

[Orm]

Looks to me like the surprise points are borked (bugged). Allies roll 6, and Axis 5. So The Allied search number is 5+5=10, while the Japanese should be 2+1+6=9, and give the Allied side 1 surprise point. Yet the program gives the Allied side 2 surprise points. Seems to me that the program ignores the bonus for the Japanese CV (The CVP has a range of 4 so a +1 bonus applies).

[Orm]

Anyway. To get along with the game I am playing it as is and use the two surprise points to reduce damage done.

[Orm]

One CP is sunk and another disorganized.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

If it’s bug, go back and hit harder. On picture plane has range 3, halved in bombing mission. Is result correct with range 3?

Well, it flies from a box where there is another CVP with 4 in range. And that unit should modify the search number as I read the rules even if the CVP flying doesn't due to its modified range.

The difference is one disorganized CP and I am not going back for that. [:)]

Naval Air:
Germany:
FTR2 (Hun) -> North Sea 2-box

Italy initiates combat in the North Sea. Axis declines to add any air to the sea area.

Will CW reinforce the North Sea?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

No thank you.

[Orm]

*sigh*

No luck in the North Sea. (Axis 8, Allies 10)

Italy begin their strategic bombing campaign with a raid on Moscow.

[Orm]

And the first raid yields a decent result.

Impulse #6 (Axis)

Ground Strike:

Japan:
LND2 (77,134) -> Chungking

Italy:
LND3 (52,56) -> 54,58
Three LND3, and one LND2 strike Leningrad.

[Orm]

USSR can intercept the Italian ground strike on the Soviet mechanized armies. They have one FTR2 available. Italy has one FTR, and Germany one FTR3, available for counter-interception.

USSR also has one AA division available to give the tanks some AA support.

Will USSR intercept the Italian bomber? If not, will the AA fire?

[jjdenver]

I think I agree about naval combat (port attack) btw.

About the GS, do intercept. First result vs bomber. Return FTR to same hex.
