N/D 39 Allies 9

France, CW, China land. Rest combined.

US sends TRANS to West ?Coast 0-box and loads a B-18 unit.

Gort rails to Bayonne.

Land moves

CW - BEF leaves Belgium for Calais. Wavell heads towards Toulouse. MOT from Cherbourg moves to the resource hex by Rouen. MIL from Manchester to Liverpool. INF Div in British Somaliland heads for the Italian Somaliland coast.

Over to Warspite1 for the rest of the impulse.

Nov/Dec 1939
Impulse: 9 (Allied)

The few remaining French troops shuffle about a bit having decided to quit Belgium.

The British land an infantry corps in Bayonne.

The turn ends on a 4 or less (throw = 10 the turn continues)

Impulse 11:

Weather was a throw of 5

Here is the situation in France before Axis impulse.

That is interesting. [:)]

N/D 1939 Axis 11

Land: Japan
Combined: Italy, Germany

No DoW

German sub sails to North Atlantic box 2. No other naval moves.

Only Germany finds (Rolls 1 and 2).

Germany chooses only box 0, there are 6 CPs.

2 surprise points are used to increase damage to D 2A.

3 CPs remain in the sea area.

Axis stay, how about Allies?

And when it is time to abort, where do you want to send aborted CPs?

Stay and abort to Liverpool, thanks.

Once target is found, wolf pack does not leave the scene before their job is done.

Axis 1, Allied 10.

All 3 CPs sink and subs dive deep. Naval combat is over.

Japan bombs Chunking with no effect (4 rolled).

Germany rail MIL from Danzig to Antwerp. No other rail moves.

Germany moves 6 units to front line or towards front line.

Back to Orm for the rest of the impulse.

Land movement continued:

Italy:
1st italian division enters Ajaccio and they are celebrated as liberators.

Japan:
Japan marine division "liberate" Pakhoi.

Japanese 5th motorized division captures Ningsia.

4th cavalry division tries to outflank the Chinese Communists to the North and enters inner Mongolia.

2nd infantry division moves one hex towards Chengtu. Or perhaps the division is just a diversion?

No land combats.

Air Rebase:

German rebase one FTR2 from hex 53,32 to hex 54,33.

Japan rebase one LND2 from 86, 142 to Changsha.

Edit: Turn ends on 5 or less, but a 7 was rolled so the turn continues.


Picture from Nov/Dec '39 Impulse #11 (Axis) - Reorganization

N/D 39 Allied 13

No DoW or alignments.

China land. Rest combined.

CW sends a CP from Gib to North Atlantic. Sub from Malta to Italian Coast 3-box.

France sends CP from Casablanca to North Atlantic.

US TRANS in West Coast sails to Pago Pago with the Bolo cargo.

CW declines combat in North Atlantic and Cape St Vincent, leaving ..

The newly arrived sub begins searching.

I decline the Italians sending any additional fighters as there's no need for them.

Searches: Allied 4, Axis 6. The Allies choose 0-box only and have just enough surprise points to force a sub combat.

Near misses from the patrolling aircraft smash some crockery and break a few bulbs but the sub is otherwise okay.

The Italian convoys head back to port. Which port would Italy like that to be? La Spezia or Trieste with the rest of the fleet?

La Spezia, thank you.

CW stays to fight but the subs stay deep so combat ends.

No air or rail.

CW moves Wavell a hex further towards Toulouse. XIV Mot moves to the east of Rouen. 3rd INF Div enters Mogadishu.

Over to Lord Warspite1 for the rest of the impulse.

Will there be any activity today in this or any of the other games?

I am wondering for planning purposes.

I think I can play later today and do turn end for game 3 if everyone has given instructions.

I'm available.

There was a bit of command confusion in the Allied camp but now that's sorted this game will continue when the big battleship is back online.

Game 3 is waiting for Mayhemizer's instructions for Germany.

Games 1 and 2 should be good to go.
