As the Allied planes scramble to Biscay, the Italian submarine dives to the depths but not before sending a sighting report to Berlin and Rome. This is matched by an urgent dispatch from scouting cruisers to the Admiralty.

Searches: Axis 2, Allies 2.

"Aircraft bearing Green 045."

Me-109's sweep in to strafe the Allied ships but cause little damage (the Axis choose Naval Air Combat).

Round 2

The Italian sub stays deep.

Searches: Axis 6, Allies 8. The German ships locate the Allied convoys (only 0-box included).

The Axis spend 4 of their 5 surprise points to go for guns. How do the Allies wish to allocate damage?

HMS Valiant gets some serious lumps knocked out of her but stays afloat. The D?

HMS Barham suffers penetrating hits to fuel tanks causing her Captain to break off the engagement and head for port. She'll be back in action within a few weeks. A's?

HMS Erebus please - if by some miracle she does not abort then she will take the next hit too.

Then
Polish convoy

Danish convoy

Great game! I'm following it with a great deal of interest. The axis had a hard time in France but the complete conquest and excellent progress in China seem to have tipped the balance a little bit toward the axis side.

Both sides remain to fight another round. I'm assuming no additional allied air will be flown (only one available is a Spitfire I). Italians commit the sub.

Searches: Axis 9, Allies 9. Both sides gave up trying. Axis ships abort to Bordeaux, where do the Allied ones go?

Japanese HQ attacks against partisan with 2 points of ground support. I believe Allies choose assault for that attack (7:1)?

Germany attacks against disorganized Spanish units. No ground support from Germany. Does CW want to send any planes? Germany can intercept only by FTR3.

****ing internet is available in 30 second, 5 minute or similar chunks at the moment. ****ing BT are totally incompetent - made worse by the fact they don't seem to ****ing care. Rant over.

Will try and keep logging on in order to get some game time this weekend. If you hear nothing then you know why.

I recently renewed for 12 months with this mob. I am going to have to write a complaint to the chairman's office to tell him how rubbish his company is and demand they tear up the 12 month contract.

warspite1

If I give an X to Erebus - she almost certainly sinks (unless I get extremely lucky). If I put elements of the old 5th Battle Squadron in the way, then (unless I get unlucky) the venerable Valiant and Barham will survive - and allow Erebus to survive too.

Erebus is not 'bad' - she is perfectly good for convoy defence. At this time the CW cannot afford to lose such precious ships.

Of course, the CW cannot afford to lose Valiant and Barham either - but because of the odds, I felt the action taken was the best way to keep all three in the game and I still had a fleet in the Bay of Biscay to take on the German survivors had I been lucky enough to find them.

That was my thinking - I am sure others will disagree.....

Well Mr. Warspite, take note that I agree with you. I would have put the X on the Valiant too. If there wouldn't have been a BB with a 2 or 3 on defense, I would have thosen the Erebus.

It's not the fact that it is a usefull ship for convoy escort duty, but the fact that a loss of a cruiser is bad for the CW (especially when not playing with the light cruisers), even if that cruiser is the old and obsolete Erebus. One or two BB lost by the CW is just a scratch. A couple of cruisers lost means problems with convoy escort duties...

Germany rebased two fighters close to Gibraltar and HUN fighter close to Saragossa.

Italy rebases ATR to Bordeaux.
