The Nationalists can probably salvage their situation, especially if they run back to Szechuan to stop the Japanese from coming down from the north. But the Communists are done like yesterday's dinner if they aren't getting reinforcements next turn.

May/Jun 40 Axis impulse ( 9 impulse 5 ) Fine everywhere All land action. Ge Artillery strikes Lille, 1 of 2 disorganized. Japan attacks Changsha at +12. the city falls. Germany attacks Lille and West of Metz in France. The Lille attack is risky at only +8.5 It ended up knocking out 1 of the French there but all the Germans were disorganized. The attack on Lille was due to the two German Armor units disorganized as shown in the units in hex form. Those two hindered the Germans a lot. At the end of the impulse Germany reorganizes 4 units with their last available HQ and the ATR. [image]local://upfiles/19136/4A6C0083A0FC4F18B0E32CDCF7539851.jpg[/image]

Lille is a fortress with the 2d10 system - continue to make the Germans pay to take it (once Lille goes Paris is next, as it is all armor country beyond Paris). You want the full two corps and a gun/div in there if you can afford it (an engineer is a terror there) - hard to clear with an assault. Consider a BEF counterattack (with shore support if it is there) back along the coast against disrupted units, particularly if there are two corps flipped in that coastal hex (and if you have a BEF gun/div to take a hit). Belgium is a great place for the BEF to fight, particularly with naval and Britain-based air, but not at less than +4. Do not simply fall back and give France to Germany! Avoid having the French extend their own lines for the Germans as their density already sucks, lengthening their line compounds the problem. Solitaire is difficult, of course.

Yes, Lille is hard to take with the 2D10 system. I attacked it this time as the only point I could amass sufficient force, I would have preferred to hit south of Lille but the two disorganized armor units stooped me from having enough power to bear there. In many games I have seen Lille simply bypassed with their defenders stuck there too weak to attack on their own. And as you say, solitaire does not lend itself to being surprised by the other players actions.

May/Jun Axis impulse 4 ( impulse 7 ) Fine everywhere Germany and Japan land, Italy combined. Italy sends out NAV3's to W Med and both sides find. Shown is the start air to air fight. The Italian NAVs are both cleared thru and 1 CW CVP is lost and one aborted. The CW AA fire reduces 4 IT factors, there are none left. Round 2 no one finds. The CW took a risk in staying but it worked. [image]local://upfiles/19136/743D455577644D70B91D6184A66B997A.jpg[/image]

German attacks in France The Metz attack took the city but all the German attackers are disorganized. The Reims attack killed one of the French and shattered one unit. The attackers are good to continue. [image]local://upfiles/19136/CD84BFFAF70D4A59AAA474DC4C105769.jpg[/image]

Allies impulse 8 May/Jun 40 The Japanese in the north are almost all disorganized so the situation there is stable for now. There is only a 12% chance of Partisans. The turn did not end. [image]local://upfiles/19136/98BEEB22F8D640EC8D36A8EBE2889EA9.jpg[/image]

Courtenay -> RE: A global wat - 2 (10/1/2014 11:18:53 PM)
I really hope that the Communists have a unit or two on the production spiral. If they are lucky, they have their CAV division there. They Communists really want to get a unit marching south so it can take a Nationalist city -- Chengtu seems to be the easiest one to get to.

May/Jun 40 Axis impulse 5 ( impulse 9 ) Fine except rain N Monsoon Italy, Japan combined, Germany land action Italy sends ships to W Med 2 box where their air is located. Search and both sides find.

Italy frees Sardinia knocking out the CW Div there. Germany Blitzes to one hex East of Paris, killing 2 French units. The last Japanese not disorganized in the north of China takes Ningsia.

With a little luck, the Axis could get a French conquest this turn. If the turn last long enough, the French Factories might all fall...
