US debarked HQI, INF, INF div and MTN div to Philippines, some of them became disorganized.

USSR rebases 3 fighters in Ukraine to the front line

No reorg for the Allies

Turn continues with a 6 (less than 4 needed).

Allies have only one request: one impulse of fine weather in S/O. So please don't end the turn and roll nice weather, not only in north temperate, but also in north monsoon. We want to attack and liberate the world

Sorry, I think all the good S/O weather is being used up by Storm Clouds Gathering.

Life is not fair…

Question:

Italy have a fleet in Athens. It is OOS. If it leaves port for the Eastern Mediterranean where there are Allied air, and SCS. Presence of the enemy option is in play and Axis has no unit in the sea area. The fleet contains a ship with 3 in movement points and 3 in range.

After interception, should the (entire) fleet be able continue to another sea area?

And what box should the (entire) fleet be able to reach in the Eastern Mediterranean?

I thought that the cost to enter the East Med would have been 3 MP (1 for sea area + 1 for OOS + 1 for Presence), but MWIF claims it is only 2 MP. Thus the fleet has one MP over after entering the East Med.

Is this a bug or am I in error?

And how do we handle this? Play as MWIF allows? Or?

Have we discussed on how to handle suspected bugs? Play as MWIF allows? Or try to keep up with rules ourselves and try to fix it?

I didn’t know OOS costs one extra MP. You can ask what others think about if it’s bug or not. I suggest we play according the rules. In case in doubt, we should play as game allows.


Is it possible that OOS and ITPOE does not stack?

I basically agree with Petteri. We should try to play the rules, not any bugs that MWIF introduces. About stacking I think the movement malus does stack.

I asked about this in "WIF school"

Centuur answered that range is not reduced. So ships reach box 0 but can move to Italian Coast.

Yea. Not convinced yet.

The units must stop in the zero box of the first sea area they enter. See WiF School answer.

Sep/Oct '44
Impulse #11 (Axis)

Allies has three sea areas they can search in. Will they do so?

Which order will Allies search?
Any air added to the East Med?
Which unit initiates?

First in East Med, initiate with CA in box 3

Do I have planes to add box 0?

Edit: now I remember my plan! Hurricane from Egypt to box 0

Second in SCS, initiate with CV or SCS that reduces the least shore bombardment or ground support tactical factors.

Edit: Bismarc Sea JJ makes call
