Assault it is.

Jan/Feb 1940
Impulse: 1 (Axis)

Land Combat (Cont)

Well at least I'm consistent. I seem to be able to throw only 2's in land combat... Orm you best throw for me in future.


Crucially the Germans fail to break the Dyle after some valiant defending by the Belgian II Corps that sees them almost wiped out.

Jan/Feb 1940
Impulse: 1 (Axis)

Rebase

Germany rebases a couple of fighters to newly captured airfields:
JG3 to east of Antwerp and JG2 to Liege.

Mussolini offers the Regia Aeronautica to the Germans unconditionally - an offer that is immediately accepted.
A fighter rebases to Karlsruhe
A bomber flies to Cologne.

The Japanese rebase a bomber to Hengyang bring closer to the frontline.

HQ Reorganisation

Well that was complicated but my little brain got there eventually. All three HQ are used up to reorganise all units except one Stuka (StG1) and one Ju-88 (KG3).

And that ends a rubbish turn [:(]

Meanwhile in China.

J/F 40 Allied 3

No DoW or alignments.

CW, US, USSR Combined. France & China Land.

CW sends P-40 to North Sea 2-box.

CW Home Fleet (4BB, CA) escorts TRANS to North Sea 2-box, where it loads the London MIL. Submarine flotillas based at Malta head to the Italian Coast 3-box.

US sends CA with INF Div to Polynesia 3-box. TRANS from Pago Pago returns to West Coast.

USSR: TRS loaded with 5-3 INF to Varna in Bulgaria.

CW declines naval combat in St. Vincent but will initiate in Italian Coast.

Do the Italians wish to fly any air support? FTR can make the 1-box, the NAV the 2-box.

Soz - just went into your thread thinking it was this one [:@] Didn't see anything.

The Italian NAV decides not to fly.

It was a wise choice as the RN sub skippers barely manage to find the sea. Searches Allies 10, Axis 4.

Rail moves
USSR: ARM HQ from Moscow area to NE of Odessa [57,56]
France: INF (from St-Nazaire) to Paris

The Nationalists move a few units.

[:D] That made me chuckle

The two CW MOT in Calais redeploy to Brussels.

That'll be it on this game for the night as Mayhemizer needs to do the French and USSR moves.

Well, there was that pub I managed to find just before we left port... [;)]

Northern China after movement. Communist Chinese moved 2 MIL to east.

TER in Niger Colony moves 3 hexes NE into Libya

CW disembarks MIL to Antwerp and US INF div to Pago Pago

CW rebased fighter to Belgium, 2 carrier planes onto carriers in Gibraltar and Liverpool and Fairey to Dover. France rebased their planes as shown in picture.

USSR rebased LND to Odessa.

France after rebase.

Bulgarian front

France uses HQ Georges to reorganize 2x INF and MIL.

USSR uses HQ to reorganize TRS in Bulgaria.

10% chance to get fine in north temperate, why did I roll 1? No reason at all...

Gents can you give us your Danish set up please? 2 x CA and 6 CP

The 2 CA's and the minimum number of CP's to satisfy the based on home territory requirements at Frederikshavn and the rest in the Faeroes, thanks.

Land: Germany, Italy, Japan

No Port Strikes. No naval air. No strategic bombing.

Japan ground strikes Kweilin and bombard the city with artillery.

Both Germany and Italy ground strike Brussels. Will CW intercept the incoming bombers?


Picture from Jan/Feb '40 Impulse #5 (Axis) - Ground Strikes

Scramble them both, thanks. Hurricanes at the front.
