All French land moves made sense, France has now good front line.

One move was wrong:
12) Pretelat -> 55, 31
From picture I saw you wanted it to 55,30 so all good now [:)]

Splendid. I wanted to try and block blitz movement. And less to worry about now that Germany is out of offensives. Luftwaffe is still a threat but all in all, things looks decent.

Germany land, O-Chit used on Rundstedt

German ground strikes
Stuka from Rotterdam hits 53,30 (SE of Lille) and lands to Brussels. (if intercepted, use Bf109 from Antwerp and land it one hex SW of Antwerp 52,31)

He111 from Liege hits 55,31 (HQ Billotte) and lands to SE of Brussles 53,32 (if intercepted, use Bf109 from 54,33 and land it to same hex)

Ju88 from Cologne hits 55,22 (GAR and AT gun) and lands to Liege (if intercepted, it can handle any situation alone, no fighters needed)

Rail move
INF from Breslau to Rotterdam.

Begun with it now.

But I was so curious over the west front situation that it was the first I looked at. And that got me so eager that I forgot to look at my own countries situation. So I need to refresh myself.

Any suggestions on how to proceed for Japan and Italy are welcome.

I get to bed now [>:]

Havent’t look situation in China, try kill all units [:)]

I was a bit shocked when I saw France constructing a CV. I suppose that there should be a first for everything. Although I think it is a bit early. Maybe it is an error?

Nord 2:

No result for round 1. Does the German bomber stay, or abort?

And in what hex will it land? And in what hex will the Henkiel land. I landed the Stuka in Brussels.

Stay, I want to hit units si that they don’t run to Paris.

I’m on my phone and I go offline, I think there is landing hexes in instructions.

There were indeed landing instructions. I remembered that it were for the fighters but I forgot that it was for bombers as well. I am sorry about that. [:)]

At least we hit the most important target.

Indeed. And no losses.

Although this makes me nervous. [:D]

France used their good fighter, that is good also.

*sigh*

Japan triggered a US entry marker. I have a bad feeling about this. I bet US gears up, and enters the war early. [:(]

Nord 2:

Orders for the second part of our impulse. Suggestions and improvements are welcome and encouraged.

Air Rebase:
Japan:
NAV3 in Tungkwan -> 75, 135
LND2 in Tungkwan -> 74, 134
FTR2 in Canton -> Hengyang
FTR2 in Changsha -> 85, 141

Both 2 sized CVP to Akagi
3 sized CVP to Hiryu

Italy:
Nav2 in Genoa rebase to southern Sicily, hex 75, 40.

The FTR2 (3 range) in La Spezia may be turned over to German control if there is a need for additional fighter rebases on the West Front.

No reorganization.

I don't think Germany can afford to take combined this turn as they need to take land actions to use this moment and push towards Paris. Do you think it would be a good idea to go after CW fleet (CW + 3x BB) on North Sea?

Germany can send planes to North Sea, but can't initiate combat. I think you need 6 range fighter in Mediterranean, but is there any planes that can fly to Netherlands and initiate combat next impulse?

I considered that as well. But I rejected it because I didn't think Italy had enough aircraft to pull it off. I can offer the naval bomber that doesn't rebase (in La Spezia?)

For this to be any real point I think we need a FTR in the 2-box along with two bombers (the Italian being one of them)

Anyway. If you want any Italian naval bomber then go ahead and rebase it. I had no other plan than port striking the French eventually. Or protecting the CP.

I am retiring for the evening. Good night.

So the worst case scenario for the attack after AA fire is 74:8 or 7.25:1 after weather modification. In that case the fractional odds can have an impact if the French HQ support comes through.

Yes, and only result 1 in 6:1 attack is not a */B or better.

And yet I am nervous. [:D]

Me too!

Go check tech support, can you fire both AA guns? I can fire only one of them or game freezes.

I haven't tested firing both. I trust that you are right.

But we do not need to fire both to actually continue. Just use the die roller to roll the dies for both. Then fire with one of the guns to get the right odds table. Because the other AA will just use change the fractional odds. So then you can calculate what the fractional odds should have been if both AA had fired and use that number instead of what is shown in the program. This way we get the combat result right without being troubled by the bug. We just have to make sure that the AA we didn't let fire becomes disorganized. And I think you guys can edit that, right?
