Turn 3. Jan/Feb 1940. Allied #3. (continued)

1/5/21, 3:50 PM - [Allied] Allies will attempt in Italian Coast, sub 4735 (3-box) flips.
1/5/21, 3:50 PM - [Allied] <Media omitted>
1/5/21, 3:51 PM - [Axis] no support
1/5/21, 3:51 PM - [Allied] copy that. It's on to the search rolls then.
1/5/21, 3:51 PM - [Allied] First through, RN commits her sub group.
1/5/21, 3:52 PM - [Allied] though not through ...
1/5/21, 3:53 PM - [Allied] Neither side apparently was the least bit interested in a naval combat. Both roll a 10!
1/5/21, 3:53 PM - [Axis] Blah
1/5/21, 3:54 PM - [Allied] East & West. You can initiate in either or both.
1/5/21, 3:54 PM - [Allied] East & West Med.
1/5/21, 3:54 PM - [Axis] No init by Axis
1/5/21, 3:55 PM - [Allied] copy that.
1/5/21, 3:55 PM - [Allied] That ends the naval stuff.

Turn 3. Jan/Feb 1940. Allied #3. (concluded)

1/5/21, 3:55 PM - [Allied] That ends the naval stuff.
1/5/21, 3:58 PM - [Allied] Strat.
(1) French Le0 451 (4/2=2 strat) vs Oil 51,36. Bf 109 E-1 w/4 a2a can intercept. LeO has defense of 3. Intercept?
(2) USSR IL-2 x 2 (8/2=4 strat) vs Ploesti Oil. Can't be intercepted.
1/5/21, 3:59 PM - [Axis] intercept
1/5/21, 3:59 PM - [Allied] copy that.
1/5/21, 3:59 PM - [Allied] Germany 51,36. Air-to-Air. Round 1. Axis +1/Allies -1.
1/5/21, 4:03 PM - [Allied] German=5, French LeO 451 shot down, PIL survives.
French=4, Luftwaffe Bf 109E-1 Emil shot down, PIL survives.
Brutal air-to-air but Luftwaffe protects the German oil field.
1/5/21, 4:04 PM - [Allied] USSR 4 strat vs Ploesti.
1/5/21, 4:04 PM - [Axis] I don't think the dice rolls were good
1/5/21, 4:05 PM - [Axis] My result said 1D10, not 2D10
1/5/21, 4:05 PM - [Allied] copy that ... d10
1/5/21, 4:05 PM - [Allied] my bad ...
1/5/21, 4:05 PM - [Allied] will redo
1/5/21, 4:05 PM - [Allied] No wonder the air-to-air was so brutal.
1/5/21, 4:06 PM - [Allied] good catch!
1/5/21, 4:06 PM - [Allied] Thank goodness for autosave!
1/5/21, 4:07 PM - [Axis] Also, you can't roll those at same time. Gives the player making first choice too much information
1/5/21, 4:08 PM - [Allied] Agree, except in this case there's only 1 plane per side. But will roll separately so I don't mess up when there are more than 1.
1/5/21, 4:08 PM - [Axis] You are correct in this situation
1/5/21, 4:08 PM - [Allied] (REDO) Germany 51,36. Air-to-Air. Round 1. Axis +1/Allies -1.
1/5/21, 4:09 PM - [Allied] Coming up, Axis "2D10" air-to-air roll.
1/5/21, 4:10 PM - [Allied] Axis 2d10=9, no effect.
1/5/21, 4:12 PM - [Allied] Allied 2d10=18, Bf 109 shot down, PIL survives. French bomber clears by default.
1/5/21, 4:14 PM - [Allied] Allied Strat Bombing.
(1) French 2 strat vs Oil 51,36. (D10)
(2) USSR 4 strat vs Ploesti (D10+1)
1/5/21, 4:15 PM - [Allied] Both rolls are a 3 and both miss.
1/5/21, 4:16 PM - [Axis] Thanks God
1/5/21, 4:16 PM - [Axis] Thank God
1/5/21, 4:16 PM - [Allied] Can't hit all the time. That would be too uninteresting.
1/5/21, 4:28 PM - [Allied] Finished allied moves (impulse).

Silly me. I could not figure out how you were moving so fast, and I finally looked at your date stamps, and realized that what we have seen is over a week old, and you are just reporting it now.

Also, for what you posted this turn, I have instructions for the naval lookouts on both sides: Take the lens covers off your binoculars before you look through them. It helps.

Turn 3. Jan/Feb 1940. Allied #7.

1/6/21, 11:22 AM - [Allied] moring/afternoon.
1/6/21, 11:22 AM - [Allied] Let's see what kind of trouble you've caused me.
1/6/21, 11:33 AM - [Axis] afternoon
1/6/21, 11:34 AM - [Allied] Turn 3. JF40. Allied #7. CW - land, France - land.
1/6/21, 11:35 AM - [Allied] (Revision) CW - combine, France - land.
1/6/21, 11:43 AM - [Allied] <Media omitted>
1/6/21, 11:44 AM - [Allied] CW will attempt to initiate in the Italian Coast. They will not attempt in the other three (East Med, West Med & CSV). The axis are ineligible in these three so only possible naval combat this impulse is in the Italian Coast.
1/6/21, 11:45 AM - [Axis] ok
1/6/21, 11:45 AM - [Allied] RN BB Malaya is flipped to initiate.
1/6/21, 11:46 AM - [Allied] Air reactions. None possible for allies. Axis can react Italian SM.79 bomber up to 2-box & German He 112 FTR2 up to 1-box.
1/6/21, 11:46 AM - [Allied] Any air reactions?
1/6/21, 11:47 AM - [Axis] no
1/6/21, 11:47 AM - [Allied] To search then.
1/6/21, 11:47 AM - [Allied] But first, the CW commits her sub group.
1/6/21, 11:49 AM - [Allied] Search: Allied=3, axis=9. Neither find. Allies miss because of the rain!
1/6/21, 11:50 AM - [Allied] Strat. USSR P-3 (3 strat/2=2) vs Ploesti.
1/6/21, 11:51 AM - [Allied] d10=1+1=2. missed (very badly) again.
1/6/21, 12:22 PM - [Allied] End of turn check. Will end on a 1.
1/6/21, 12:23 PM - [Allied] D10=7, turn continues.

1/6/21, 12:27 PM - [Allied] <Media omitted>
1/6/21, 12:27 PM - [Allied] back to you, axis impulse #9.

Turn 3. Jan/Feb 1940. Axis #9 (concluded).

1/6/21, 1:25 PM - [Axis] You may initiate here [Italian Coast]
1/6/21, 1:33 PM - [Allied] Yes please. Flip the French CA to initiate.
1/6/21, 1:34 PM - [Axis] commit your sub I presume
1/6/21, 1:34 PM - [Allied] yes.
1/6/21, 1:35 PM - [Axis] miss
1/6/21, 2:02 PM - [Axis] turn continues
1/6/21, 2:02 PM - [Allied] copy that.
1/6/21, 2:02 PM - [Axis] <Media omitted>
1/6/21, 2:02 PM - [Axis] back to you. Not much one can do in that slop
1/6/21, 2:04 PM - [Allied] But it keeps Soviet bombers grounded and the oil fields in Ploesti running at full capacity.
1/6/21, 2:04 PM - [Axis] That's right!
1/6/21, 2:05 PM - [Axis] Would not mind if turn ended at end of your impulse!
1/6/21, 2:05 PM - [Allied] Last impulse seriously considered using Zhukov HQ-A to reorg one of the Soviet's LND4/LND3. I'm now glad I didn't.
1/6/21, 2:06 PM - [Allied] Likely will end of my impulse, which means fine weather in the west at the start of next turn. Would seal the fate of the Netherlands and Belgium for sure.
1/6/21, 2:06 PM - [Axis] Fine weather not guaranteed, but will increase likelihood for sure
1/6/21, 2:08 PM - [Allied] Yeah .. I was thinking about May/June. For March/April +3 gives you a 50/50 chance of fine weather in the north temperate.
1/6/21, 2:09 PM - [Allied] versus 20% w/no weather modifier.
1/6/21, 2:09 PM - [Axis] 60% actually
1/6/21, 2:10 PM - [Allied] I can't count! 7-12=fine, which is 6 out of 10!
1/6/21, 2:11 PM - [Allied] So 60% vs 30% w/modifier.
1/6/21, 2:11 PM - [Axis] correct
1/6/21, 2:11 PM - [Allied] Glad you're there to keep me straight!
1/6/21, 2:11 PM - [Axis] Well you are retired...
1/6/21, 2:12 PM - [Allied] Yes indeed!

1/6/21, 2:16 PM - [Allied] 60% chance that turn will end on this impulse.
1/6/21, 2:20 PM - [Allied] <Media omitted>
1/6/21, 2:20 PM - [Allied] Allies will try 1 last time for battle off the Italian Coast. No attempt and no opportunity for the axis in other three sea areas (East & West Med, CSV).
1/6/21, 2:21 PM - [Allied] RN BB Warspite only org ship left that can initiate and will flip.
1/6/21, 2:22 PM - [Allied] RN commits her sub group.
1/6/21, 2:23 PM - [Allied] Search. Allied=7, axis=1. Only the axis find.

1/6/21, 2:24 PM - [Allied] Time for you to ponder what you'd like to do.
1/6/21, 2:25 PM - [Axis] ok
1/6/21, 2:25 PM - [Axis] will fight both boxes
1/6/21, 2:37 PM - [Axis] Actually, just fight the 3 box
1/6/21, 2:38 PM - [Axis] Increase my damage to you by 4 SP, decrease your damage to me by 2 SP
1/6/21, 3:17 PM - [Allied] Dogs are after me to take them out. And then might also take a meal break. Will let you know if the latter happens for sure. Sorry to keep you hanging in the middle of the Italian Coast naval battle that's brewing.
1/6/21, 3:17 PM - [Axis] no problem
1/6/21, 3:18 PM - [Axis] I've made the decision which was the hardest part
1/6/21, 3:18 PM - [Axis] outcome will be what it is...

1/7/21, 10:33 AM - [Allied] morning (CST)/morning (EST) :)
1/7/21, 10:34 AM - [Allied] Wow, you we're up early this morning making moves. 3:47 am my time, 4:47 your time. Do you generally get up that early?
1/7/21, 10:37 AM - [Axis] Not really. But quite often wake up early and get at it
1/7/21, 10:38 AM - [Axis] Morning still over here
1/7/21, 10:44 AM - [Allied] Do you do any reading for pleasure?
1/7/21, 10:45 AM - [Axis] very little actually
1/7/21, 10:46 AM - [Allied] I like fantasy/SCI-FI and military history (primarily ww2). Lately it's been mostly military history.

1/7/21, 10:50 AM - [Allied] Yes, if you like ww2 naval history.
1/7/21, 10:51 AM - [Axis] I must say that the pacific did not interest me much until I was in my late forties when my son turned me on to it

1/7/21, 10:51 AM - [Axis] cool, thanks
1/7/21, 10:52 AM - [Allied] Leahy was ambassador to Vichy in Dec 1941. He later became FDR's chief of staff and was basically running the country in FDR's last days, which he was only up 4 hours a day.
