Mayhemizer vs AllenK: The resurrection!

[Mayhemizer_slith]

One hit in Egypt.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

USSR rails AT gun from Vladivostok to west.
France rails Dakar MIL to Marseilles. Italian attack forces France to send much needed unit to south.

USSR units moves in Persia and 2 Com Chinese units moves in the middle.

CW attacks in Egypt. Attack is automatic.

If Italy wants, they can fire defensive SB. In that case CW can fire 10 points to make it automatic again.

Do you want to fire?

[AllenK]

It wouldn't appear to be the best use of ammunition. The Italians decline.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

US rebases fighter from Honolulu towards Midway.

France uses HQ Billotte to reorganize FTR-2.

Fine everywhere. Back to Axis.

[AllenK]

M/J 40 Axis 3

No DoW or alignments.

Germany and Japan land. Italy combined. Germany puts O-chit on von Beck.

Italian fleet in East Med heads back to La Spezia.

Italian FTR initiates combat in East Med. Searches: Axis 8, Allies 10. No combat.

Germany doubles the ART and flies a Stuka to Wavell's hex. Japan send two LND against Chiang.

Better success this time against Wavell et al.

[AllenK]

The Japanese not so.

[AllenK]

The Japanese have a change of plan following the ground strike failures.

[AllenK]

The Germans prepare for another attempt at breaching the Anglo-French lines.

[AllenK]

The Italians move the Libya MECH into France and Grazziani closer to the front.

Just two combats declared. The Germans attack Wavell. The Italians try another low odds speculative effort in the Alps.

Does Gort wish to add HQ support?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

No thanks.

Assault everywhere possible.

[AllenK]

In Belgium, the Germans get choice and opt for Blitz.

Who do the Allies wish to retreat?

Edit: Wrong picture.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Hard one. But I choose Wavell [;)]

[AllenK]

The Italians don't get lucky twice as the Axis pull out another poor combat roll.

[AllenK]

Germany rebases a FTR and STR.

Von Beck reorganises a Stuka and 2 ART.

Terauchi reorgs a MIL and ART.

Back to Allies.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

M/J 40 Allied 4

No DoW

China and France land, others combined.

CW sends 2 transporters to North Sea loaded with INF and MOT div.
CW CA and TRS from Gibraltar loaded with TER to BoB.

CW rails GAR from Hull to Plymouth.
USSR rails ENG to Dnepropetrovsk.

USSR moves units in Persia and East Poland. 2 Com Chinese units in the middle moves east.
Nat Chinese retreat.
France adjusts their line in north and retreats in south.

CW debarks TER to Bordeaux and INF + MOT div to Calais.

Only on attack, USSR attacks Teheran using HQ support.

Is it assault or blitz? On a 3,6 or 7 HQ is killed in blitz.

[AllenK]

Let's try the Blitz.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

No losses for USSR.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

US rebases FTR to Midway.

CW can't rebase CVP from carrier to an another in same sea area and same box. CW has 2x class 2 CV in East Med, both have class 1 CVP loaded. Is that a bug or am I just wrong?

Weather stays nice for Germany.

[AllenK]

Looks like a bug. May need posting to Tech Support.

ORIGINAL: Mayhemizer

Sending all bombers was not enough...

The commander of the Air Fleet responsible for this attack is woken up during the night by several KGB officials...

Consider this for a moment. You have 11 tactical factors available against 5 defending factors. This alone gives you a +4 during a land attack if you use those factors in ground support with 100% certainty. So why the ground strike?
