AllenK vs Mayhemizer Episode IV: A New Heap

[AllenK]

Italian Macchi will intercept. Me-109 stays on the ground.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Italian pilot did not become a hero. Where do you want to land it?

[AllenK]

May as well go back where it came from.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

CW pilots report that between take off and landing bombs were dropped. They hit nothing.

Rotterdam

7 3 (INF, INF div)

Germany

3 3 3 (ATR, PARA, INF HQ)

Belgium

10 (ARM)

Italians

4 7 (MECH, INF HQ)

[Mayhemizer_slith]

France rails Dakar and Marseilles MIL to Paris.

USSR rails INF div from Baku to Leningrad.

Everyone ready to be shocked?

CW attacks Rotterdam using 8 points of shore bombardment and attacking HQ support (20:6 = +7,167). They also send 2 points ground support.

France attacks GAR in Belgium (disorganized Stuka in same hex). Does Bf109 want to give 1 point ground support?

[AllenK]

Yes please. Land back where it came from.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Actually Italian planes can add 2 points (ATR from Germany and NAV from Italy), but it gives minuses also so I think you will pass it?

[AllenK]

Just the Me-109, thanks.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Is it assault or blitz in Belgium?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

And how about Rotterdam?

[AllenK]

Assault please.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

France takes the hex and destroys Stuka.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

CW takes Rotterdam. I believe INF div is destroyed?

[AllenK]

Yes thanks.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Back to Axis.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

France after Allied impulse 2, M/J 1940.

Green snake is heading to Paris...

[AllenK]

M/J 40 Axis 3

No DoW or alignments.

Germany and Japan Land. Italy Combined.

Italy flies fighter to West Med 2-box.

Italian subs sail from La Spezia to Biscay 1-box (2 subs) and St Vincent 2-box and 3-box.

3 areas for naval combat. All will be tried.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I will be offline for 2 hours, starting now. Make good decisions on my behalf [:)]

[AllenK]

First up, St. Vincent and the 2-box sub initiates the search. Subs are committed.

Searches: Axis 7, Allies 6. NE

Next Biscay.

Allies could fly a Swordfish from Liverpool to the 1-box. Does it fly?

[AllenK]

On the basis of Mayhemizer's last post, I'll fly the Swordfish to the 0-box (and hope it counts as a good decision).

Searches: Axis 8, Allies 9. NE.

Finally West Med.

The fighter initiates and the Italians add their Nav to the 2-box.

Searches: Axis 4, Allied 4. Only Axis find. They choose the 0-box only and make short work of the French convoys.
