Hello all,

I hope you all enjoy following us to the victory!

This is the place where we plan how do beat Orm and Peskpesk.


USSR has a plan, please let me know if there is mistake in my plans I don't understand:

USSR places 3 units to Persian border. On fine weather (1st impulse of the turn) USSR attacks and Persia places 3 strength CAV to capital. USSR attacks on surprise impulse using bombers to make attack 30:3 = automatic.

If CAV is placed anywhere else, USSR ground strikes CAV and goes around it to Teheran.

Nothing can go wrong? Right?

We have motorized movement optional rule, so ARM HQ need 4 movement to get adjacent to Teheran.

Everything can go wrong in times of war. All depends on the Japanese set up, movement and the weather roll. And the US might not be happy at all, if you remove a high US entry chit...

Italy set up lots of units on Egyptian border. I guess Wavell need to stay in Egypt some time. Let's hope CW gets units to Rotterdam or Antwerp.

Can I ask Nationalist Chinese to place 2 units to Chengchow? That will cause some trouble to Japan before they can advance towards Sian and Lanchow.

France call reserves:
5-1 GAR to Strasboug
4-1 GAR to Metz
4-3 INF to Metz
5-3 INF to Lille

France takes naval move, USSR combined.

After that we can plan what we do.

France plans to send 2 CAs and sub from Breast to Baltic Sea, sub stays deep until ships are destroyed. France also brings TRS and INF from Beirut to Marseilles.

We need to decide what we want to do with Denmark. If we want to get CW units there, we do nothing and wait until that 5-4 INF walks to Copenhagen and then CW can send units to northern port.

Ok.
I agree waiting for Denmark.
I'll take naval too, in order to be ready if France is calling.

France is ready. Do you want to play impulse if I give all instructions (there will not be many)?

France is not using bomber yet, I think Italy goes to war early and I want to port strike Trieste where they have TRS with light AA cover.

My instructions. I can also play impulse if you send instructions.

Naval moves for France
CA Tourville, CA Duguay and submarine from Breast to Baltic Sea box 4.
TRS loaded with INF from Beirut to Marseilles.
CA from Hanoi to Bay of Bengal box 0.
2x CA from Breast to Cape St. Vincent box 1.
2x CA from Casablanca to Cape St. Vincent box 0.


Land moves for USSR
Com Chinese HQ one hex NE to 74,138
Com chinese 5-3 INF and 4-2 MIL to Tungkwan


Remember to save one air move with CW and rebase Polish fighter to neutral country. USSR will enter Eastern Poland next impulse.

Are you claming Bessarabia this impulse?
Any russian DOW?

No, those are not possible until out second impulse.

Pacetti, sending escorts high boxes (higher than box 1) is bad idea before Italy declares war. Naval combat is more likely and only Italy is able to use surprise points.

Yes, I know, but if I find him, he will not fight against CPs, and I could abort some sub. I´ll try.

Have you got my mail about dice roller?

ORIGINAL: Pacetti

Yes, I know, but if I find him, he will not fight against CPs, and I could abort some sub. I´ll try.

Then he gets all the surprise points, negates your damage and he can tru again to find CPs.

Just read email. Roll only 1d10 and enter that value to game. Game adds +1.

I bet Italy goes to war and they go after the queens.

Good morning Mayhemizer.

Denmark is lost, but I think is not time yet to send BEF to France, as Germany will likely attack Holland, but not Belgium, so we could send corps to Rotterdam.
What do you think about sending some scs and an old BB to W. Med. as Italy doesn´t hav nav to use? I will send Ark Royal, a BB and a CA to Mediterranean front.
I´ll send my subs to E.Med and Italian cost.
I doubt about China. I would drop Changsha out. China is a great country, but his army not.

I take a look tonight. France can send ships too to west med.

If CW ground strikes INF in Denmark, CW can make automatic attack. I’ll show tonight. That would cause some trouble to Germany.

Mayhemizer, we can try but naval movement is previous to ground strik, so I should cargo before.
If not, Germany could put inf in supply sending cps to Baltic Sea.
So, I'll cargo

Will try ground strike, and if I have no success, I will debark in France. Ok?

Plans and suggestions for our impulse

France takes naval, they can send ships to Mediterranean.
USSR takes combined (they will occupy Eastern Poland this impulse, let's see how many chits we have next impulse if it's time to take Bessarabia).
CW need to take combined to get units to North Sea and save all three land moves to debark them.

Naval move

France
Sub to Italian coast box 2.
From Marseilles two 4 speed BBs to West Med box 0.
From Marseilles three 5 speed CAs to West Med box 3.

CW
One naval move to send ships from Port Said to East Med box 3 or 4 to sink Italian CP.
One naval move to send ships (CVs, BBs, CAs and 3x Transporter) from Plymouth to North Sea box 3. Load INF HQ, MECH and AT gun on those transporters. Send CVs to fight evemy planes if Germany try next impulse sink your ships.

Strategic bombing
French bomber attacks Munich landing back to same hex.

Ground strike
CW Blemheim attacks German INF in Frederikshavn.

Rail move
CW can rail (if they want) TERR in Australia to west coast for The Queens.

Land move
I would say keep Chinese units in Changsha, there is only 40% chance for fine weather. But run away with 3-3 INF and retreat with units near Canton. Chinese fighter is in danger...

USSR INF in Minsk moves to Vilna and CAV in 54,53 moves to 55,50 SE of Lvov. CAV in Mongolia moves two hexes NW.

Debark
If CW hits INF in Denmark, this is easy, just debark (HQ first) red circle and attack with 1 point of shore bombardment to make it automatic even with German ground support.

If you miss INF, you can debark to France, or to yellow circle in Denmark. Germany have to do something but they can't really attack. If they send CP to Baltic Sea, French ships will fight. CW can protect units with shore bombardment.

Land combat
If CW does not attack in Denmark, make suicide attack with units in Poznan against lonely 5-3 INF.

Rebase
If CW goes to Denmark, send one fighter to Harwich to be rebased next impulse to Denmark.

Reorg
Nothing France/USSR.

What do you think?

Hello.
I was thinking sending ships to North Sea box 1, with a Ftr. Germany would have more surprise points, but I would defend better.
