J/A 40 Allies 5.

No DoW

US & USSR Combined. Rest Land.

USSR CA in Black Sea returns to Odessa.

RAF Hampdens bomb Cologne with some success.

The Boston's do a good job in Tripoli.

USSR rail an Inf from Minsk to Finland.

USSR and Chinese make some minor adjustments to their lines.

The CW Divs by Tripoli move up to the attack start line. Wavall moves back to Suez and his place is taken by XI Mot.

The French shuffle units about to try and cling on as best they can.

CW declares two land combats: Cairo and Tripoli.

Does Graziani wish to add emergency HQ supply?

I don't think emergency HQ supply is needed as they are organized, correct?

After seeing odds I might want to use defensive HQ support and ground support.

Edit: Now I'm not sure I did not bring MECH to Cairo also. I though you might be able to put me permanently OOS or something...

Thought that might be the case. To bring the Mech, you would have had to have left the Div by itself which would have been an easy attack to put the units in Cairo OOS.

I was thinking about to bring all 3 units to Cairo. They are already OOS, but at the moment you can't ground strike them.

The option for defensive HQ support didn't come up. I think it must be because the HQ is OOS. Do you wish to reconsider the emergency supply option?

No thank you. It's only +1.

Go for assault (and final result 14 please)

Repulse and Cumberland close to Tripoli and bombard the defences prior to the attack going in (3 points added).

The Italian Nav adds support to the Cairo defence (2 points).

Final odds. Does Tripoli wish the assault table too?

Italy chooses assault in Tripoli also.

At Tripoli, the CW do their best to botch it up but are carried through by the favourable odds.

Can you all see how stupid I was setting those fortifications? Don't do like I did. Protect the beach, units need supply from sea...

The attack on Cairo goes pretty well.

Only if you would have rolled those combats in different order We would have seen a mayhem in Cairo...

I go kick my own butt, WHY DID I NOT BRING THAT MECH TO CAIRO ALSO...

French Nav rebases to Oran.

USSR rebases two Lnd to the far north and a Ftr to Minsk area.

No reorgs.

Egypt after impulse 5.

I learned some guidelines and tricks from my friend who introduced me to this game.

-Invasion attack to Rotterdam
-Never keep HQ alone if it can be attacked
-When you see HQ alone, attack

Attack vs Wavell would be something like +0.

France is looking good. Line is getting thinner and thinner...

Japan will attack next impulse.

J/A 40 Axis 6

No DoW

All go with land

Germany rails INF div from Antwerp to Kiel.

German troops are now in Greece border.

Italian MOT is making a big flank attack near Bordeaux.

3 attacks in France, 1 attack in Egypt and 2 attacks in China.

Does Nationalist Chinese want to use defending HQ support?
Does CW want to use defending HQ support?

Japan uses attacking HQ support in Sian.
Japan fly 1 point ground support in Sian.

Does Nationalist Chinese want to use ground support?
If they do, Japan will intercept. Will Nationalist Chinese bring their fighter also to combat?

Here is all attacks included with Axis HQ and ground support. Allied HQ or ground support is not included. This is just to help Allies make their decisions.

Wavell in Suez is attacked by INF and AA gun.

Edit: Allies can choose combat tables in Sian, Lille and Suez. Which table is used in each combat?

Could you post a shot of France with the attacks on it? Also, I think the Chinese P-36 has a tac factor. Is this so?
