Mayhemizer vs AllenK: The resurrection!

[Mayhemizer_slith]

And here is situation in East Med and planes that can fly there.

[AllenK]

No planes, thanks.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Italian Coast: Allied 2, Axis 10. CP sinks and subs dive deep.

I played so that Italian ships stay at sea. If you wanted them back to La Spezia, I will not attack them this turn.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

East Med: Allied 9, Axis 2. No Combat.

Italian troops are OOS in Africa. Italy has supply unit in Libya (in same hex with HQ) and they can repair convoy line with their last remaining CP.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

USSR rails GAR from Rumanian border to Vilna. USSR moves 4 Communist Chinese units and one units in Poland.

Nationalist Chinese retreat to cities in south.

China post movement.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

France moves 2 units in German border and debarks INF to Marseilles.

China rebases fighter by few hexes.
CW rebases CVP from Liverpool to CV on BoB.
France rebases their bomber by few hexes.

Back to the Axis.

[AllenK]

N/D 39 Axis 2

No DoW

Germany aligns Bulgaria. The US papers comment but to no lasting effect (4 rolled). The Bulgarian INF deploys to the capital.

Germany Combined. Italy and Japan Land.

Germany moves their AMPH and TRANS to Kiel.

Germany rails 150mm ART from Poland to Dusseldorf.

Japan rails INF HQ from Taiyuan to woods east of Nanchang.

The Storms in China slow the Japanese down as they move towards their next objectives.

[AllenK]

Germany moves two units out of Denmark, back to Germany, the ENG to Kiel and 3 units from Poland begin moving west.

The Italians expend their supply unit and advance further into Egypt.

[AllenK]

Whilst in Italy, units crowd towards the French border.

[AllenK]

The Japanese attempt 1 attack and commit 3 bombers to support it. Does the Chinese fighter wish to intercept. The Japanese can add a 5 factor fighter.

If not an intercept, does it want to fly ground support instead?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Intercept, target bombers. Land one hex SW where it starts. You can do A2A combat, I'm offline.

[AllenK]

Round 1 sees the NAV cleared through. Chinese choice, so I picked the one with the weakest attack factor.

Round 2 sees the D3A1 aborted. It returns to Shanghai.

Round 3 goes badly for the Chinese.

[AllenK]

Does the Chinese AA gun wish to fire? With all shots it'll be lowest 1 of 5.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

No thank you. Chinese choose assault.

[AllenK]

The Japanese attack succeeds.

[AllenK]

Japan rebases a LND from Paoting to Nanching.

Germany rebases 5 aircraft from Poland to the west and a FTR from Germany to Genoa.

Italy rebases a FTR from Sicily to the North.

No HQ reorgs.

The weather gets worse.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Both attack roll and weather roll were brutal!

[Mayhemizer_slith]

N/D 39 Allied 5

No DoW.

CW and China land, others combined.

US TRS loaded with INF and ENG to Hawaiian Islands and TRS loaded with ART to Polynesia.

France initiates naval combat in East Med.

Allied 3, Axis 5 means that CW fleet in box 4 sinks Italian CP.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

US debarks ART to Pago Pago and INF div + ENG to Midway.
CW debarks INF and TER to Suez.

CW rebases Spitfire from Dover to Lille and Hurricane from London to Dover.

Back to the Axis.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Hmm, rail moves and land moves are not shown here.

CW railed both HQs to Belgian front and France railed INF from Marseilles to Metz.

Com Chinese moved to east and Nat Chinese retreated in the middle after Japanese succesful attack.
