UK vs Nordic 1

[Orm]

Thank you. I'll pick assault anyway since the odds is to close to 6:1 for comfort.

[AllenK]

The defences of Antwerp are swept aside by the German combined arms assault.

[AllenK]

At Metz, Murphy's Law continues to hold sway. Which unit do the Allies destroy?

[Orm]

France takes the INF as a loss.

[AllenK]

Germany rebases He-112 from the coast to Liege.

Rundstedt reorganises 4 INF and a Bf-109.

Back to the Allies.

China, CW and France land, others combined.

Naval moves

[Mayhemizer_slith]

France after rebase.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

China at the start of the Axis impulse.

[AllenK]

M/A 40 Axis 7

No DoW or alignments.

Germany and Japan land. Italy combined. Germany puts an O-chit on Von Bock

Nothing happens until ground-strikes.

The Japanese send a LND and NAV to ground-strike the Nationalist units in the mountains east of Changsha. The Germans strap bombs to their Bf-110's and send them, togther with a Gruppe of Ju-88's to ground strike British units west of Brussels. Bf-109's provide close escort. He-112's are on standbye.

Do the Allies wish to call upon the Fleet Air Arm to intercept?

[Orm]

Yes, the Gladiator intercept.

[AllenK]

With a large number of aircraft to engage, the FAA pilots are forced to make some hard choices. Which bombers will they ignore and clear through?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

This is trivial. Front bomber, thank you [:)]

[AllenK]

Sorry, I could see pro's and cons for either choice and therefore didn't like to assume my choice would match yours. Anyway...

The manoeuvrable biplanes prove difficult to get a bead on but in defending themselves against superior fighters are unable to make an impact on the German bombers.

[AllenK]

With heavy rain obscuring the targets, the Germans are satisfied with the results.

[AllenK]

In China, the Japanese are also satisfied with the results.

[AllenK]

The Germans occupy Brussels and move units in preparation for the next attack.

[AllenK]

The Japanese also move up.

Do the Chinese want to request HQ support from Chiang? Odds are 38:12, 3:1.

[Orm]

No, thank you. No HQ support from Chiang.

[AllenK]

Similar question for the CW. Do they want HQ support from Gort? Current odds 74:13, 4:1.
