Shown are the attack odds The weakest attack on Odessa was completely successful with a 19 roll. The strong attacks worked but cost the Germans 2 units and a total of 7 units disorganized. The mobility in the north has been affected. [image]local://upfiles/19136/DF2528544A044E7FAB5312716378853E.jpg[/image]

May/Jun 41 Allies impulse 3 ( impulse 6 ) Fine everywhere CW naval, Russia land, rest combined. CW SUB attack on Italian Convoy E Med failed. Russia falls back to strongpoint defenses in Cities and the Dniepr river line. Note the Germans around Minsk have 5 disorganized units.

Is that an artillery unit all by itself just on the other side of the Dneipr from the forest hex?

Zhukov was to join it but at the time I thought I had time to get him there before the Germans. When I save the game after the end of the impulse and start of the Axis impulse I noted the weather roll - a 1 so storms may still save the day for the Russians

Courtenay -> RE: A global wat - 2 (10/29/2014 2:54:10 AM)
Why did the US keep picking options with its tension levels so high? Once I have Gear Up and both tension pools over 17, I don't pick anything until War Appropriations. Each turn early for War Appropriations gets you over 40 extra build points over the course of the game, so is worth far more than any and all other options.

lomyrin -> RE: A global wat - 2 (10/29/2014 4:54:15 PM)
Good point about the US options with high tension. My concern this time was resources to Russia although with the Germans limited advances in July/August perhaps that was not that urgent.

Sep/OCt 41 Axis impulse 1 ( impulse 1 ) Rain in Arctic Germany land, Italy and Japan combined. Japan moves Transports and troops in preparations for a wider war, it is slow due to neutrality. Germany ground strikes Smolensk, disorganizing 1 unit. ground strikes SW Dnepropetrovsk disorganizing 2 of 3 units. Italy ground strike disorganizes 1 CW unit near Tripoli. Germany attacks Smolensk in rain with HQ support. City is taken but one Russian unit escapes shattered and one German unit is lost and 4 disorganized. attack SW Dnepropetrovsk takes out 2 Russian units but the Arm escapes shattered.

lomyrin -> RE: A global wat - 2 (10/30/2014 6:16:22 PM)
Yes, the May/Jun losses were high, I tried the strong city defenses which cost the Germans time and a few losses and slowed their march east. The July/August losses were not as bad and the line Smolensk and Dniepr river line held reasonable well. September/October will be crucial, bad weather would be welcome and as it turns out the first impulse was mainly rain. The Russians now will have to decide how to run and preserve forces. The Germans have spent a lot of oil are a bit tight already.

lomyrin -> RE: A global wat - 2 (10/30/2014 6:20:43 PM)
Sep/Oct 41 Allies impulse 1 ( impulse 2 ) Rain in arctic CW naval, Russia land, rest combined. CW naval air in E Med misses damaging an Italian CA, it only aborts. Russia ground strikes 3 hexes in the south but only hits 2 armor in one hex, but it will weaken attacks on the east of the river. Kalinin factory railed east.
