Rematch 4 player game (Orm, Peskpesk, jjdenver and Mayhemizer)

[peskpesk]

No, thanks.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

No surprise point to either side and AA negates LND. That was fun...

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Naval air
CW FTR3 and LND3 to East Med box 3.


Naval move

USSR
CP to Caspian Sea.

CW
Almost all CW ships steams to seas.

CP To Timor Sea.
2x CP to CVB.
Escorts to seas.

3x CA from Singapore to east.
CV and other ships to BoB.
CVL to CVB.
CVL to North Atlantic.

TRS from Liverpool to Central Atlantic loaded with INF.
TRS from South Africa to Red Sea loaded with FTR2.
TRS from Aden to CB (empty).

Sub to Italian Coast box 3.
Sub to East Med box 3.


Naval combat
CW initates only in East Coast. Multiple Axis planes can join the combat. Any takers?

[Orm]

FTR2 from hex 75,40 to the 1-box, thank you.

Edit: Changed my mind and sent out one fighter.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Both sides roll 4, no combat.

If Axis want to, they can initiate combat on CSV.

[Orm]

Sure, Italy initiate in CSV.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

CW sends FTR2 to box 0 and NAV to as high a possible (I think box 2).

I continue impulse later.

[Orm]

Then the SUB feels somewhat exposed, and decide that safety might be a safer course. SUB stay low.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

OK. Did you remember I have planes?

[Orm]

Yes. I decided to have a go at it if the planes stayed at their bases. And play it safe and avoid combat if they flew.

[Orm]

Not that many alternatives when you already have the SUB at sea. [:)]

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Rail move
USSR 6-6 ARM from east to Kiev.


Land move
ComChi retreats using 5 moves.
NatChi retreats too.


Air rebase
USSR: Baku LND3 to Persia.
China: FTR2 by one hex.


Back to the Axis.

[Orm]

Germany, and Italy, declare war on Greece.

[Orm]

USA reacts with shock that Germany invades Greece, and the Greek diaspora demands US intervention. Sanctions against Germany are considered. Italian declaration on Greece is barely noticed. (Rolls were 2 and 7)

[Orm]

Will Greece align with CW, or France? (USSR can not be considered as they are neutral, even though MWIF doesn't know about the neutrality [:D])

[Orm]

How will Greece place their units?



Picture from Nov/Dec '40 Impulse #2 (Axis) - DOW

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Align with CW.

INF to Athens.
MTN west of Athens.
2x CP to Crete.
2x CP to Lemnos.
Remaining ships to Athens.

Since decision has been made, I will say this - I have never thought about a Free French Greece, but I would think this offers some intriguing possibilities. Would allow CW to respond with a Naval impulse while Greeks could maneuver a variety of small amounts of units with an FF Combined impulse. Different upsides to that in different games.

Greece near Capital defense

[Orm]

Land: Japan
Combined: Germany

Italy bomb the Greek fleet in Athens.
