Not a tank expert but these two tanks look like old Soviet products! (T55 or T62?)

They look like Chieftain's to me.

You are probably right - one thing for certain is that they are not Panzer II, III or IV's. However I could not find a picture of camoflagued chickens standing in front of German tanks from WWII. There is one of two reasons for this a) its all nonsense (although I can't believe that for a moment) or b) the chickens were so well camoflagued they simply don't show up in surviving WWII pictures.


Ou est le poulet? - or a kind of WWII based Where's Wally?


As it was I had to remove the four helicopters in the picture of Marcel the Bull......

Germany takes Rotterdam and forces ships to rebase. Where do they want to go?

Edit: Do you want to rebase them as a stack or one by one? Submarine can rebase safely alone.

[Orm]

As a group to Belfast although it might be that the submarine must go by itself.

[Courtenay]

All the talk about the, err, unusual Allied anti-tank defenses brings to mind the game "Unexploded Cow", which uses two problems to solve each other: mad cows in England and unexploded ordinance in France.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany intercepts and rolls 1. Rebasing ships are forced to stay in box 0.

Does CW want to fly more planes to North Sea?

[Orm]

No, thank you.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Allied roll 3. CW fleet in box 3 finds and comes to rescue rebasing ships. German NAV takes transporters as their primary target...

[Mayhemizer_slith]

AA Fire: 2 10 9 1 5

Germany uses 2 points to increase damage to D A.

Germany had 1% chance for this (search rolls 1 and 3). With any other result either transporters would not have been committed to combat or Germany would not have 2 points to increase damage.

Transporter is only aborted.

Who takes A? Where do aborted CW ships go? Axis stay, how about Allies?

[Orm]

The CP takes the abort.

UK ships go to Portsmouth. Netherlands ships to Belfast.

Allies stay.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

No additional planes I guess. I did not even ask before if French LND want to fly box 1. I believe it has other mission coming...

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Axis 4, Allied 6. Combat is over.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Germany attack hex SW of Brussels and Metz. Japan attacks CAV near Hangchow.

Germany sends 4 point bombers to both combats. 5 point fighters are in intercept range to both combats.

Is the long waiting over and French planes joins combat?

Odds before ground support:
Metz: 17,333:4 = 4,333
SW of Brussels: 33:9 = 3,666 blitz (Germany has 2x ARM and MECH)

[warspite1]

Are these 4:1 and 3:1 including the 4-point bombers?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

ORIGINAL: warspite1

Are these 4:1 and 3:1 including the 4-point bombers?

No. Odds are before ground support phase.

[Orm]

I suggest that it is a good time to scramble the entire French air force.

[Orm]

Remember that the attacker will have a positive die modifier on both attacks. Might be +2 in the blitz attack.

[warspite1]

I'll try to use the AA unit in SW Brussels - do I do this before aircraft are announced?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

No, it is after air to air combat.

[Orm]

Late again. [:D]
