TOP SECRET: AllenK and warspite1 ONLY!!!!

[AllenK]

UK vs Nordic 2

French could take a combined so they can start putting some escorts out and rail the INF from Marseilles up to somewhere like Billotte. Alternatively a land would allow the rail move and reorganising both that one and a couple of others ready to move into line.

CW naval to start shifting the BEF to France, put out escorts etc.

Game 3.

I say old boy, I assume you are going to allow the Bulgarian and Hungarian claims to carve up Romania?

Lan Chow MIL to (73,136)

Just checking this is correct. Are you abandoning Yenan? There are two more land moves you could make. Are there any others you meant to do in China?

I say old boy, I didn't spot that the unit in Yenan was Lanchow [8|] No the Lanchow Warlord is moving to that hex - the unit in Yenan is staying put!

[AllenK]

No harm done old fruit.

With it being a combined move, I've assumed the French HQ's don't wish to inject some life into any of their disorganised rabbles.

UK vs Nordic 1 (Game 3).

With Poland having fallen quicker than expected and the weather staying fine, I'm wondering whether to press on and DoW Belgium. The forces are a bit light and it'll mean the BEF in Antwerp for certain but the Allies are that much weaker too.

Any thoughts?

One thing you've gotta ask yourself - do ya feel lucky punk? I'm happy whichever way you want to play it - as Germans you da boss! Only caveat - if you mean light as in there is a real danger of a reverse then personally I would play safe.

[AllenK]

I think I'll leave Belgium for now.

Germany will take a combined. Send the 4-3 sub to North Atlantic. Try for combats in North Atlantic and Baltic.

Rail INF from Warsaw to Frankfurt.

Can you send the file back to me for land move plus any more instructions for Italy and Japan.

warspite1

Sure, so apart from the above, there is nothing else for Germany pre the land moves?

[AllenK]

Edited the above post. Also send 4-3 sub to North Atlantic. Try for combat in North Atlantic and Baltic.

[warspite1]

Game 3

Land Combat - one auto attack on the Chinese division - the Warlord and the Engineer move in to the hex.

Rebase Ca133 in Rome to La Spezia

The two Japanese fighters rebase to (78,140) and (78,141)

No Reorganisations

[warspite1]

Have you got any tips on Japan old boy? And specifically the saving of oil or not in the early jours?

[AllenK]

I've been working on the basis of assuming at some point the supplies will be cut off and trying to stock pile as much as I can beforehand. The only exception is if an additional resource will make a difference to the number of BP's available.

[warspite1]

Nordic 1

Okay old boy, I'm going to have a look at this now and when you get the chance, would be grateful for your input, what?

[warspite1]

Okay so here are my draft orders for Italy and Japan. I was considering saving an Oil with Italy but the extra build point for the 'half' meant I decided against.

With Japan I don't think I put enough CONV in the China Sea so two Oil have had to go to Canton. 2 Saved oil in total and 10 points. I am pretty certain that is all I can get.

I only have one division to transport this turn so should be able to get away with no reorganisation of the naval units.

End of Turn Sept/Oct 1939

Preliminary Production

Japan
There should be 14 Factories producing. 10 build points. 2 Oil Saved in Canton

Italy
All to production

Return to Base

Japan
All units in China Sea to Fukuoka

Reorganisation

Japan
Reorganise only Umezu and 2 aircraft (Mary and Val) for 0.6 (0 oil)

Production

Italy
NAV (3)

Japan
ARM (6)
Shokaku (2)
MIL (2)

Factory Destruction

Japan
Destroy Factory in Canton

Reinforcement

Italy
Sparviero (SM.79) in Genoa
4-5 MOT in Turin

Japan
Should be a MIL

[AllenK]

Good evening my capital fellow.

With a bit of tweaking on the Japanese production, you can get it so only 1 oil goes to Canton and 1 is saved in Japan. would you like me to send this option back to the Allies?
