AXIS ONLY - Counter Factual Global War

[WILHELM_slith]

I use no air support in combat Tungkwan

[warspite1]

We seem to be having a few teething issues on comms.

Who is doing what now?

[WILHELM_slith]

I just resolved the japanese combat so i can show you my movement after. So you can move on with your combat without delay. Fill in my results from dice roller and you can finish this impuls. rebase Ki27 fighter to Tungkwan and other fighter from Shanghai to Kaifeng please.
Yamamoto reorganises the two transports in Haichow. Thats it for this impuls.

¡Viva!

The Japanese take no special actions. Choose a land move. No air actions. Rail move : Manchuria territorial from Changchun to Hangchow.

[WILHELM_slith]

Congrats on breaktrough in the Alps. The chinese communists on the run. Looks like a good start for axis.

Over to Germany / Italy.

The Japs have no Combats after movement.

Air rebase: The fighter from Kaifeng goes to HQ yamamoto.

Thats it for this impuls.

[warspite1]

I assume Japan will take a land? Let me know as and when plus any orders.

[WILHELM_slith]

Japan chooses a land move. No special actions. Rail move 105mm art to Kaifeng and 28th garrison from Mukden to Tsingtao.
No air actions. Need file back for movement.

[WILHELM_slith]

Those very lucky search rolls brought the Italian navy in a weak position. The situation on the Egyptian border looks very bad. I dont see any chance to take Egypt. You should try to get out the HQ Balbo to Italy before its too late. Anything you bring there to help will be lost with them.
I think you should completely focus on France and use all possible help from Italy for the Germans.

[warspite1]

I read this - that's why I tried to get Italy into supply last impulse. There is no why I am running as they are black print units. However I will attempt to get Balbo to safety - albeit its a long shot.

Might be a good idea to get that range 6 fighter to the south of Sicily,next turn. It can operate in box 2 in east or west Med.
As an escort for ships or naval planes. Its presence forces enemies into Naval air battle.
You should use short range fighters as escorts for convoys in box 0 for the same reason.
In your German air reserve you have a range 5 fighter with attack 3. Also a land bomber(naval factor1) with range 4 and attack 3.
these are very underestimated planes that can operate from sea box 2(in the Med) and are a match for the Commonwealth CV fighters.
I always operate from box 2 with naval planes with this protection. That Gabbiano is just not safe in box 4.
I think you should get that organised fighter immediately to the south of Sicily to operate as an escort for a convoy in the east Med box 0.

Don't forget to save some oil. Best breakdown that weak motorised corps in Poland into two motorised divisions.
You need those mot divisions to take out as casualties in your blitz attacks towards Paris later.[:D]

I will try and follow what I'm doing in the other MP. I broke down the MOT in that and always try and save oil wherever I can.

Good news for the Germans.Commonwealth used all its transports. They can move nothing to Rotterdam if you have plans taking the Netherlands

Indeed. My army has been practising Tulips From Amsterdam over the last week or so.....

By the way, are you comfortable with Manchuria and the garrison?

[WILHELM_slith]

I live next to Asterdam. So i hope to see you soon.
It would be fantastic news if the Russians declare war. I really hope so.
They wil lose in Manchuria. And its winter also.
When i play Germany. My goals are take Paris at least in Jul\Aug 1940. And never ever use an offensive chit before Barbarossa.
Barbarossa starts in may/june 1941.
How do you think about these topics?

When I play Germany my goal is to take Amsterdam by Jul/Aug 1940... assuming I haven't lost the game already. I tend to use up both offensive chits in the west and then forget all about Barbarossa - what is that anyway? I've heard of it but......
