NORDIC CHANNEL: Orm and Mayhemizer

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Nord 1:

USSR can take east Poland and claim Bessarabia. I'm so happy if they refuse to give Bessarabia.

I need to check tomorrow what CW can do and if there is anything France can help. Operation Calypso is blocked when Germany occupied every hex in Denmark. I bet AllenK knew what we planned, we talked about this at some point long time ago.

[Orm]

Nord 1:

I think it is the first time I've seen German use 4 land units to conquer Denmark.

[Orm]

Nord 2: Japan and Italy will do combined actions.

What if I do the round up to the land movement step?

[Orm]

Nord 1: Not much I will do in this game. Do you want to make the entire impulse? Mostly land moves, and air rebase, but not to complicated, I think.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Nord 1

I can play impulse if you send instructions.

Nord 2

Germany land. Can Germany ground strike Lodz?

[Orm]

Nord 1:

I will post instructions in an hour or so. CW has no suggestions, or instructions, for France?

Nord 2:

Germany has two medium bombers that can bomb Lodz.

Are further, detailed, instructions coming later on, or are we using 'guidelines' instead of detailed 'orders'?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Nord 1

I can't remember the situation well. Can France strat bomb or do you save oil?

Nord 2

Germany ground strikes Lodz with everything they have. Land planes west towards Nerherlands. I do own land moves and will reorg some units in west.



Instructions can be detailed (unit X from hex A to hex B) or general (all units moves to west) depending on situation. Usually I use detailed instructions.

Nord 2

Just checked the map. Land planes safe hexes with friendly units.

[Orm]

Nord 1:

I do not like that Germany used Rundstedt to reorganize units on the west front. Why use up oil to disorganize that HQ if you do not plan something nefarious. Could the BEF begin landing in Northern France, or be prepared to land in Netherlands, or Belgium? The North Sea should be fairly safe since you made such a sterling job sending his air back with the tail between their legs.

There are unsafe hexes in Germany?! [X(] [:(]

France strat bombed during the surprise. And I would prefer to save oil. But currently the reorganization of German units on the West front has me considering using HQs to reorganize land units, or bomber, or both. Or maybe I will postpone reorganization decision for next impulse.

[Orm]

Nord 1:

It would be nice if CW would be in a situation to take a land impulse for next impulse. IF Germany declares war on Belgium straight away. Then, if CW has forces in Calais or the North Sea then, with a land impulse, CW should be able to get forces into both Antwerp and Brussels (2 of them Belgians).

If target is Netherlands, does CW plan to occupy Rotterdam?

[Orm]

Nord 2

If it's not too late, send German fighter to North Sea box 1.

And use 2 air actions for ground strike, one must be saved for reorg. If artillery is adjacent to Lodz, use it for ground strike too.

No, it is not to late. I suspect that I will begin this early evening.

Why box 1? Why not the 2-box?

Box 2 please. Fat fingers and phone [;)]

Nord 2:

Japan debark one HQI to Hangchow.

The Ki-27 (FTR2) rebase to Nanchang.

No reorganization.

Nord 2

I shouldn't give instructions in hurry with phone. I didn't notice it's raining. There was no reason to ground strike Lodz...

Interesting to see if CW sends a fleet to North Sea now. German NAV will intercept if they do.

I am sorry that I didn't ask. I just thought you were in a hurry to get finished in Poland.
