AllenK vs Mayhemizer Episode IV: A New Heap

[Mayhemizer_slith]

CA to Cape St Vincent box 1. Italian submarine to Italian coast box 4.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

France initiates combat in West Med.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Axis want to fly extra planes? German fighter can fly to box 2, Italians only box 0.

[AllenK]

No thanks.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Not quite as planned... CW has CA in box 1 and all other ships in box 3.

How do you want to play this? Allies choose naval air combat if possible.

[AllenK]

Box 3 only, thanks.

I think that gives me about 10 surprise points. 4 points to choose surface combat. Can you then post a picture to confirm what's left, thanks.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

There might be few ships in the bottom soon...

[AllenK]

We'll use the 6 points to select the first two X's. Place them on the 2 CV's thanks.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Well, this went just like I feared. There was no need to ask anything in this combat [:(]

[Mayhemizer_slith]

What if first X is only damaged, do you want to place other one to damaged or one X on each? Just making sure...

[AllenK]

One for each. If is saves, it's a bit of a waste of an X result to put a second on it.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Italians must place some damage too.

I save this game and go play 4 player game. Then I need to get to bed and continue this tomorrow.

[AllenK]

First X to the Garibaldi, second X as well if it survives the first. If not, the Gorizia. One D on each of the Littorio's. If any take damage, then A's on them. If they both abort, A's on the other BB's, starting with Conte Di Cavour.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Italian damage

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Allied damage, both CV's are only damaged.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Allies stay for more, how about Axis?

[AllenK]

Axis return to La Spezia.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

CW rails MIl to Plymouth.

USSR rails INF to East Poland.

CW decides to give production boost to Germany (MECH occupies Bremen, MOT enters Germany and MIL debarks to Bremen). CW units (2x INF, 2x INF div) in Egypt runs to port with transporters and CA's.

On a 7 turn continues.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Europe after Allied impulse 9 in M/J 1940.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Italian HQ is in trap and CW forces are preparing to move on.
