Japan: Land
Germany: Land
Italy: Combined

Port Attack: None
Naval Air: None

Naval Movement: None

Strategic Bombing: None
Ground Strike:
Japan

The Japanese launch two strikes, one of which is ART, against Chengchow

Germany

The Ju-87's and tasked with striking Lodz and Warsaw. A Heinkel is added to support the attack on Lodz

Weirdly the second throw on Warsaw does not appear - and yet the result is right as the second throw was a 5. I don't think I've ever seen MWIF do that before....

The ground strikes were all correct. Warsaw had three units in it. The first was disorganized by the first roll. Two rolls were made on the second, both missing. Finally, the third unit was disorganized by one roll. No more rolls were needed. In Lodz, the first plane disorganized one unit. The second plane only had one target, and failed to disorganize it in two rolls.

No you mis-understand - it was the second throw - the 5 - that was missing on the MWIF summary. As said, fortunately it made no difference to the outcome, but strange it is missing nonetheless

Roll Two
Generating 6 rolls of 1d10, 1 per line.

I have seen that many times. 5 was rolled, but not needed as previous roll was good.

No it was needed because it could have affected the outcome (fortunately in this case it didn't). It was the second throw, not the last one and should have been applied to the second Polish unit - not the 7 that was.

I suspect that if you re-do it again you will notice that the second die roll, the five, is shown as targeting the unit that was already disorganized by the first die roll (the two). The die roll is in practice annulled, even though it is rolled. And, in my humble opinion, a ok way to do things. Although showing it in the ground strike summary would have been nice.

In short, it is ignored since the unit it is against is already disorganized by the first roll.

MWIF has done so repeatedly when there is a extra die roll from surprise.

Edit:

2,5 vs first unit. The 2 disorganize, so the 5 isn't shown.
7,8 vs second unit. No unit disorganize.
4,5 vs third unit. The 4 disorganize the target and the 5 is ignored and not shown.

Well that makes sense. I suspect that is what Courtenay was trying to say - so it was me that was not understanding. So on double throws the program does both throws on each unit before moving on - but then doesn't make the second throw if the first succeeds.

Warspite1, I think it's easy to swap 5-4 MOT with 5-5 MOT. Also that 6 moving AT is coming next turn, do you want it to map for this turn?

How will Germany place their reserves?

No thanks - I will go with what I have.

As I'm in the other game at the moment, for the sake of moving the game on, please place where you think sensible. I am looking for everything possible to be on the Western Front east of the Dutch-Belgian border. Thank-you.

It’s all clear.

Chinese don’t send plane.

Polish use HQ support and choose assault.

Tell us what you think, Ronnie.

Can we move 3 planes from destroyed pool to reserve pool (or any other place)?

Not sure but this is how I'd go about it. These are the US carrier planes right? Do you have a game save during or after US setup but before you ended setup? If so, I'd go to that save and move those three planes to the reserve pool. I'd then save it under another filename. Then, I would just copy all the lines associated with those three planes and paste them over the corresponding lines in a COPY of your current game file.

If you don't have a game save that you made, you could keep going through a "game start" until you got a start that had those three planes and use that.

I have a save and will test that.

How do you place them to reserve at the start?

Right I've re-done the land movement to properly optimise the German position - I was rushing this morning as I had to leave for work - hence the instruction to ignore the post (I didn't fancy writing all that out again). This has changed the odds in Poland.

Sep/Oct 1939
Impulse: 3 (Axis)


Land Combat:
Germany

An attack on Lodz is announced. The odds are 68:8 8:1+1 The Poles can use HQ Support. The Germans bring in two bombers.

Japan

The Japanese announce an attack on Wuhan. It's currently automatic but the Chinese can bring in a bomber. The Japanese bring a bomber and a fighter to the hex.

Land Combat Resolution:
Germany

As usual I take in order of the program. So the German attack first. The HQ Support works and takes the odds to 7:1+1. I assume the Assault table or its automatic.

The fractionals fail and the land throw was a 2(3). Both Poles are destroyed and all Germans disorganised.
