UK vs Nordic 1

[Orm]

ORIGINAL: AllenK

Similar question for the CW. Do they want HQ support from Gort? Current odds 74:13, 4:1.

No, thank you.

[AllenK]

Do the Allies wish to fly any ground support? The Germans aren't but could intercept with the He-112.

[Orm]

CW use the Boston I (LND3) for defensive ground support, and the Spitfire (FTR2) escorts it.

Edit: Both land in the hex it flew from if they survive.

[AllenK]

Expecting to be bounced at any moment, RAF Bostons, with their Spitfire escort, press on towards their target; the German forming up areas. They find a sky strangely devoid of the Luftwaffe.

Too late, German commanders discover the bombing is more effective than anticipated (okay, I forgot the factor would be rounded up after halving meaning 2 rather than 1.5 factors would add to the defence). The extra disruption caused has a small but potentially significant impact on the battle (instead of the 4:1 anticipated, it is now 3:1 but with high fractional).

German anxiety proves unfounded. The disciplined troops recover quickly from the air attacks and, foregoing Blitzkrieg for a more traditional assault, destroy the British defenders.

[AllenK]

Moving to China, with nowhere to retreat to, I assume the Chinese choose Assault.

The Chinese hold fast and the attack falls apart as the Japanese 3rd Inf Div is wiped out.

[AllenK]

Germany rebases Bf-109's to Brussels and Ju-52's to Rotterdam.

Von Bock reorganises a Stuka and Leipzig MIL.

Turn ends on a 1 (1 needed).

No partisans.

Over to the CW for doing the end of turn stuff.

Germany places two markers to offence.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Do USSR want to place marker to offense or defense?

[Orm]

Offence. (Unless it is a zero, then it go to defence)

Complete French and USSR orders coming soon.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

US places marker on JA pool.

US interns French CV, one marker from JA pool to tension pool.

End of turn orders for France and USSR.

Prod Plan Prelim:
France:

-France sends the Hanoi resource to China. Freeing up lots of CPs.
-Metz resource go to the Factory in Metz.
-In order to get the Metz resource to Metz it might be needed to order the resource going to Metz to another idle factory.
-Change the save location for the Iraq oil to Damascus. Alternatively it can be send to France for production, if CW has no use for the Med CPs. The BP will then be saved in Toulouse.
- France produce for 12 BPs (13 if the Iraq oil goes to production).

USSR:
Save one oil in Archangelsk.
USSR build for 15 BPs.

Stay at Sea:
France:
The fleet in CSV stay at sea.
All French CPs stay at sea, unless CW wants any of them returned to port.

Return to Base:
France:
The North Sea fleet return to Brest.
The CA in CSV return to Libreville, Gabon.

Use oil:
France reorganize all units, except the CV for no oil use (0.4)

USSR reorganize all units and use the idle oil in Bushehr (1.0)

Production:

France (12):
3 x MIL
2 x FTR2
1 x Pilot

USSR (15):
AA
Pilot
INF
ARM

Reinforcement:

France:
FTR2 -> Paris
FTR2 -> Rouen
HQI -> Rouen
INF -> Paris
GARR -> Paris

USSR:
CA -> Sevastopol
INF (6-4) -> Novgorod
INF (4-3) -> Murmansk

Remove LND3 in Baku

Trade:

CW sends one resource to China. Can it be oil?

I was able to change which US recourse goes to China, but can't send NEI oil resource to China. I might be doing something wrong, but if there is some rule why it can't be done I stop trying [:)]

Netherlands is conquered, NEI is in war with Germany it that matters.

Not this turn, no. CW must change the trade agreement to send one oil instead of one resource. Although, this turn, you should change what resource CW sends to China. One from Malaysia seems wise.

[Courtenay]

You can't send the NEI oil to China. The CW does not yet own it, so it can't trade it. The oil to trade to China is the Burma oil. No CPs needed.

Netherlands was attacked by Germany in Nov/Dec, if my memory serves, so CW sort of own the NEI oil. The Burmese oil has been sabotaged by partisans.

So can NEI oil be sent to China? I’m in trouble if I promise one oil and have to send one from Canada or something...

NEI oil can be sent.

Check trade agreements and relations if you want to make sure. Or production planning.
1) Trade agreements: No oil traded from Netherlands to CW.
2) Relations: Netherlands should be aligned to CW.
3) Production planning: The NEI oil that CW has use of should not have (TR) in front of the oil resource.

If any or all of these points are true then the NEI oil is for CW to use as CW please.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Axis got Belgian CA in construction pool. 3 range, 5 speed, 1 attack and 8 defense.

Which country wants it?

[AllenK]

Probably best to go to CW.
