WWII - Sweden (Axis) vs England (Allies)

[Orm]

No, thank you. No German intercept this impulse.

[AllenK]

The Bearn stops in the 3-box. French TRANS at Beruit brings INF to Nice. 4 Bb's and Cl go from Marseilles to the West Med 3-box. 2 BB and 5 CA/CL go to the 4-box. 2 cruisers from Algiers meet 2 from Beruit in the East Med 4-box. French CP's at Casablanca go to St Vincent and Cape Verde.

[AllenK]

The other CW naval move is for a CA to load the INF Div at Plymouth and take it to Oran.

One area for naval combat and the French CA initiates.

Searches: Allies 3, Axis 7. Allies find and have 11 surprise points. They use them to change the odds to -3/+2.

First round - Axis 14 for no effect. Allies 8 which aborts the He-112. Where does it land?

[Orm]

On the armour.

[AllenK]

One ground strike announced by the French against Saarbrucken. The less said the better.

That's it for me tonight.

[AllenK]

No rail moves.

Mongol CAV moves towards Ulan-Ude.

China after land moves.

[AllenK]

The CW reorganise things in Egypt.

[AllenK]

Finding themselves surprisingly untouched by the war so far and a lack of opposition to their northwest, the Pomorze Infantry decide to see how far they can get. They end up 40 miles short of Berlin.

[AllenK]

No land combat.

Warspite1 has gone off-line so to move this on, the Polish air force scoots off to internment in Lithuania.

No other rebases and no reorganisation.

Weather gets a bit damp.

[Orm]

A couple of the German reserves seems to have been placed wrong. The 9-4 INF should have been in Dusseldorf, and the 6-3 INF in Breslau.

[warspite1]

Oh FFS... I'll re-do the Allied turn tomorrow AllenK.

A couple of the German reserves seems to have been placed wrong. The 9-4 INF should have been in Dusseldorf, and the 6-3 INF in Breslau.

It in not just these two units that needs trading places. It is the entire stacks. The MOT and MECH needs switching as well.

[warspite1]

Right I've re-done the turn and all should be as it was (including US Entry which took a couple of goes to get right). The only exception is that I took a guess as to whether I escorted the Queens to Suez. I guessed wrong and in this version the 3 cruisers have escorted the Queens. On the basis that there was no interception and nothing has happened on the Axis side in the Med yet, I'm b******** if I am re-doing the turn again for that!

Germany DOW Netherlands. No US reaction (9 rolled)

Will Netherlands align with CW, or France?

How will the Dutch forces be placed?

[warspite1]

The Dutch will be aligned to the CW but I'm not going to have a chance to come back until this evening.

[warspite1]

Amended game on its way to you.

The Dutch align to the CW.

INF, Java, Tromp to Rotterdam
