Impulse #7 (Axis)

Ground Strike:
Germany:
LND2 (Cologne) -> Brussels
LND3 (Aachen) -> 54,31

France can intercept the raid NW of Reims (54,31) with one FTR2. Germany can counter-intercept with one FTR3. Will France intercept the German bomber?

Intercept and abort as soon bomber cleared or aborted.
Thanks

Germany decline to use their FTR3. the bomber is on its own.

The German bomber was aborted, but the French fighter was shot down. The French pilot survives to fight another day.

MAR Canton

Land Combat:

Japan:
Yamamoto (HQI) assaults the Chinese MIL on Hainan.

Germany:
Assault on Antwerp with 3 units, all doubled by Rundstedt (HQA). Current odds 36:9.
Automatic assault on Liege. Odds 41:3.
Blitz on 55,32 with 3 units, all doubled by Rundstedt (HQA). Current odds 34:5.

Japan adds 3 points in shore bombardment on the attack on the MIL. Making it 11:1.

No HQ support.

German air (FTR2 + LND3) add 10 points to the assault on Liege.
Italian air (LND3) add 2 points in ground support to the blitz on hex 55,32.

Edit: I forgot to write that a doubled engineer uses its ability to negate the river for the blitz on hex 55,32.

Edit 2:Changed the initial odds on the blitz on 55,32 to the correct one.

Germany begins with the assault on Antwerp. Or I guess that it is an Assualt. If France had prefered blitz I can go back and change the attack.

The assault on Antwerp was a success.

Next is the automatic attack on Liege.

The final German attack is the automatic blitz on hex 55,32.

Germany:
FTR2 (52,45) -> 52,36
NAV3 (47,35) -> Rugen

Italy:

Germany reorganize (HQA) one LND2, and one LND3.

The turn continues on a roll of 8. Would only have ended on a one.

Facts are stubborn things, but statistics are pliable, or?

Land and A2A results so far.

Playing with D10-combat for the first time since the year 2000 is quite something. It is certainly a different game! [:)]
