Pat vs Ronnie GW AAR

[ashkpa]

JF41 i11:
GE and JP take land actions while IT takes a combined.
Italy moves 4-CAs to the 4-box of the Italian coast.
Italy initiates combat in the Bay of Biscay.
Rnd 1 went the axis ways, though two subs were aborted (allies lost 2CP and had 3CP aborted). The axis did not commit the remaining sub to combat in round 2, so it ended after one round.
Where would you like the 3 CP to abort. The GE sub went to Bordeaux and the Italian to Bayonne.
Going to eat dinner, if there is no answer when I get back, I'll abort to Plymouth.

[ashkpa]

JF41 i11:
Italian Coast searches both find on 1/2. No net surprise points. We each have 2D A to allocate.
How do you wish to allocate your damage? Will you stay for a second round?

[rkr1958]

1. The 3 CP aborted go to Plymouth.

2. D on CA Dorsetshire, D on CA Canberra and A on CV Glorious.

3. If the CV Glorious is aborted then the RN stays. If not, then it aborts.

4. Aborts to Malta.

[ashkpa]

JF41 i11:
Italian Coast results below. The Glorious made it's damage control, so the British abort the zone per instructions.

JF41 i11: Situation at the end impulse 11 (axis)

JF41-i11: Turn did not end (onto impulse 15 - moved by 4)

Turn 9. Jan/Feb 1941. Allied #15. Actions.

[rkr1958]

Turn 9. Jan/Feb 1941. Allied #15. Bay of Biscay.

The CW will NOT attempt to initiate combat in the Bay of Biscay. Do the axis wish to?

[ashkpa]

no thank you

[rkr1958]

Turn 15. Jan/Feb 1941. Allied #15. RN. No Combat, Contested Sea Areas.

[rkr1958]

Turn 15. Jan/Feb 1941. Allied #15. RN. Italian Coast.

The RN sends a 4 heavy cruiser raiding force into the Italian Coast and attempt to initiate a naval combat. Allied search roll 9 and axis search roll 8. No contact made by either side.

Turn 9. Jan/Feb 1941. Allied #15. Naval Reorg.

[rkr1958]

Turn 9. Jan/Feb 1941. Allied #15. End of Turn Check.

The turn ends. The Soviets put their pact chit in the defensive pool.

What are the instructions for the two German chits and for moving any chits?

[ashkpa]

Both go to the defensive pool. If my total defensive markers are over 10 move a 1 chit to the offensive pool.

[ashkpa]

for return to base.
JP, the carriers return to Tokyo.
GE sub drops a box. The fleet in Faeroes Gap returns to Bordeaux.
Axis air units in the 2-box of the W. Med drop to the 1-box.
The Italians in the Italian Coast drop to the 3-box.
Keep 4 CPs in the Baltic and the rest return to Kiel.
The GE amph and Transport also return to Kiel.

I think that does all of the Axis return to base information.

Put 2 chits in the defensive pool, which resulted in a total of 12. So I moved a 2-chit to the offensive pool. I hope that's what you wanted?

[rkr1958]

Turn 9. Jan/Feb 1941. End of Turn. USA Entry Options.

The USA chooses to Freeze Japanese assets (option 23).

I assume you want excess CPs in the Japanese Coast to go to Tokyo?

Turn 9. Jan/Feb 1941. End of Turn. Return to Base Question.

I'm still in the CW stay at sea phase. I'm about to go watch the Ole Miss vs Clemson game. I do have a question.

I've set the RN ships that will stay at sea in the Bay of Biscay and the North Sea. Whichever route the 3 KM ships in the Faeroes gap choose to go to Bordeaux the RN will attempt to intercept.

Through which sea area do you wish to go?

Any instructions if the force is successfully intercepted?

[ashkpa]

Put 2 chits in the defensive pool, which resulted in a total of 12. So I moved a 2-chit to the offensive pool. I hope that's what you wanted?

I should have had two 1-chits already in the defensive pool (at least that is what it looks like in my saved game). I wanted one of them moved over. If it is easy to correct, do so, otherwise continue to play on.

[ashkpa]

Through which sea area do you wish to go?

Any instructions if the force is successfully intercepted?

Go through the Bay of Biscay (I have to, to get to Bourdeux - they are not going to Brest). I have to stay in the 0-box. I will try to avoid combat and will abort after 1 round of combat.
