Can MTN move (during movement phase) over mountains or only when they attack?

They can cross alpine hexsides during the movement phase only (they cannot attack across those hexsides).

I thought mountain units could attacked with 1/2 of their factors across alpine hexsides?

Mee too. And I'm pretty sure I have done that in MWiF.

You are right. I'm mistaken here. Probably a ghost of the past...

But they can also move over mountains during land move phase. Oooops.

I remember playing with that rule on board game, but when I tested it after MWiF release I could not make it work (in one situation, no idea what was the reason) and I thought we played it wrong.

I have to move CAV very fast to Italian border.

Other option is to move GARR and MTN north and CW deploy 2 MOT of BEF to Nice. Gort will go somewhere safe in France like Bayonne. CW will need to take a Combined and can send some BB escorts. They'll make the West Med 1-box. The French navy and CV will help with protection. The pluses are it fixes the gap, free's up French units for the defence against Germany and the BEF can be moved back to Gort to be a pain as and when Paris falls. The downside is exposing 2 TRANS for the remainder of the turn to the vagaries of naval combat and removes opportunity of deploying to Rotterdam if that opportunity presents.

We need to continue this on new AAR.

Mayhemizer. German plans for next impulse?

Japan are going for a land option to shift things around in China and get the attack on Batavia in.

Italy a naval to send 2 subs to Biscay and 1 to CSV, then 2 CA's and CP to West Med. Stuka will rebase to the units in Algeria.

After USSR declared war on Japan, I start feeling like Germany needs to attack USSR as soon as possible. By that I mean Barbarossa 1942.

You can break the pact now if you wish.

I would like to do it after Spain is dealt and I can actually do something in USSR. Or should I do it now?

I planned to rail HQ's from east to Spain and reorganize all HQ's next impulse. That way I can do attacks and reorganize units.

Germany has no air forces in USSR front. I think I can't break pact before next spring.

I agree, this isn't something to rush into just because you can.

What option are you going for so I can get things moving? Land?

Germany takes land action.

Hungarian fighter and Bf110 to BoB box 2. Italian Fighter should join. When combat begins, both Italian and German NAV's can intercept to box 2.

More will follow.

Will you initiate combat with NAV in CSV and keep sub deep waiting for CP? Last impulse was nice. I would like to see that CV sink and BB's abort. Germany is going to attack I don't want defensive shore bombardment [;)]

I'll have a go.

No ground strikes, unless units in northern Spain goes OOS. In that case German artillery fires few grenades to Santander.

Rail moves:

Rommel from SE Poland to Cadiz, Guderian from Königsberg to adjacent to von Leeb 64,21 and INF from Bordeaux to Cadiz.

I will attack Tangier odds are something like 15-30% depending on result in CSV. INF and MIL attacks, ART and Stuka provides ground support.

I move MAR to Morocco. It will be disorganized, but I will reorganize for the next impulse, or impulse after that. If CP in west Med is there after Allied impulse, can Italy send TRS to West Med to provide supply for MAR?

If CP is still there, why the need for the TRANS? Do you need it for Naval Reorg points?

Sorry, if CP is NOT there [:D]

Yes, or alternatively a less expensive CP. Will have to think about which one.

Is Japan going to rebase Ki-27 or any other planes?

Italian Stuka is rebased as instructed.

Ki-27 to where the NAV is and NAV to Shanghai, thanks.
