AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/30/2015 8:25:37 PM)

With another mediocre roll, the attack on the Garr proves costly.

AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/30/2015 8:29:29 PM)

Continuing the pattern of the best roll being last.

AlbertN -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/30/2015 8:35:38 PM)

I am not sure why some attacks have been made in that way AllenK.

Besides it would have been better to use all Air Actions to rebase closer with more planes (Stukas, Bf109), anything disorganized now can be reorged with the French HQ in the next impulse. (And Paris by the look is all you need for Vichy).
At the same time you have clearly taken a Land Impulse. Some attacks are pretty risky. Even the Mot-DiV could (and should I think) have been a +21, just to avoid cases of bad luck. Not that the Brits are going to land in France in this moment.
The Mot Division has no zoc, so you could have brought a 2nd unit to attack Georges, and merrily used as many tanks as you wanted. Even if it was going to be at 7 due to France Air support, you could have got like a 6-1 roughly, ontop of like 4-5 panzer / mech units (HQ included).
This would have left your units in the southmost hex to help the attack against the Garrison, helping heavily there too.
The 5-4 in Amsterdam would have easily ensured no risk vs the Mot-Div too.

Also the mountain hex north of Lyon, a unit there could have been a threat to infiltrate more in the south the next Impulse if the French stood still. (Not sure if you had a spare though for that !)




AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/30/2015 9:13:31 PM)

Thanks Cohen.

You are right about the attacks. I could have committed way less against Georges and put more into the other two. It probably would have swung it against the Garr. In truth I'd originally only thought about taking Georges this impulse and the other two were afterthoughts. Not the best way of doing things really.

I went for the Land option to make sure Mayhemizer didn't get a chance to swap out Georges for something more expendable.

Anyway, Germany rebases 2 Me-109's to the front.

Japan rebases a Nav to Formosa and Land to Swatow, both from Nth China.

Von Leeb reorgs a Ju-88.

On an 8 the rains in Nth Monsoon turn to storms. Elsewhere , fine.

Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/31/2015 4:45:14 PM)

J/A 40 Allies 3

No DoW

US and CW combined, others land.

CW ships sails to all seas. Trans from Egypt picks up INF from India and another one picks up Australian MIL. INF and div are now in North Sea.

No naval combat.

GROUND STRIKES
USSR long range bomber attacks surrounded Japanese HQ in China and Chinese fighter is feeling lucky attacking other surrounded units.
France attacks with artillery German Arm/Mech stack next to Paris.
CW attacks other stack next to Paris.

Does Germany want to intercept CW bomber? If so, where does fighter land and does adjacent 88mm AA gun want to fire if bomber manages to get through or is not intercept?

AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/31/2015 6:23:24 PM)

Yes please. Scramble the '109's and let the 88's blast away if the fighters don't get them.




AlbertN -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/31/2015 6:32:34 PM)

That's where you'd want (in my opinion) keep your AA not used instead, because it can fire as AA before to disrupt when attacking if the French will ground support their forces later on. But my comment should not alter your decision now that you have taken it. Because the French are keeping their bombers (and the fighter bomber) for a main combat (Paris prolly).




AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/31/2015 6:39:03 PM)

Hi Cohen,

Yep, I can see where you are coming from. It was a tricky decision but French Ground-Support is less of a threat than my units being disorganised. Attacking at reduced odds may end up in them disorganised but at least they had a shot.

You never know, there's always the outside chance my fighters might shoot something down or at least abort it.




Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/31/2015 6:41:07 PM)

Just making sure: Only Bf109 from target hex intercepts, not other one too from adjacent hex?




AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/31/2015 6:44:25 PM)

Thanks Mayhemizer. Just the one in the target hex.




Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/31/2015 6:45:17 PM)

Only Allies are happy. Bf109 lands same hex?

AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/31/2015 6:46:22 PM)

May as well.

As I said, an outside chance.




Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/31/2015 6:48:59 PM)

88's could do better (as it has been said to be the best cannon of WWII)

[image]local://upfiles/39586/2180BC60233141FC97FC86EE3C50B165.jpg[/image]




Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/31/2015 6:50:45 PM)

Yes, I'm going to fill some lottery tickets today! I would have been happy if one of them would have been disorganized.

Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/31/2015 6:52:04 PM)

I think it was worth shooting with 88's.

Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/31/2015 6:54:56 PM)

Chinese pilots are sure they will hit next time...

Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/31/2015 6:56:27 PM)

Job well done! Permission to attack land units!

Dice is so hot I guess I can declare any kind of attacks...

[image]local://upfiles/39586/2D5C7F5F525149EC86D38E8CBEF19D7D.jpg[/image]




Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/31/2015 7:20:28 PM)

Nationalist Chinese react major forces in south. INF is railed to Kweilin. Other units in south withdraws from Hangchow.

France is ready and waiting behind river Seine.
USSR closes Seoul and gets ready to attack MIL in southern Manchuria.
Communist Chinese are going to attack surrounded HQ.

2 Attacks are launched.

Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/31/2015 7:22:47 PM)

Does Japanese choose blitz for 12% chance to HQ survive?

Just realized: Doesn't matter if I convert it to retreat. Assault might kill some Communist units...

AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/31/2015 7:25:17 PM)

No thanks, go with Assault.




Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/31/2015 7:27:04 PM)

Low roll does the job with minor cost.

[image]local://upfiles/39586/8E44EE32425843389FF2386837FD38A2.jpg[/image]




Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/31/2015 7:29:48 PM)

No mistakes in Manchuria and tanks are rolling forward.

Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/31/2015 7:37:06 PM)

CW rebases Whirlwind to Denmark.
France rebases LeO 451 to other hex (HQ entered hex, might be too juicy target).

CW reorganizes Wellington in UK.
France reorganizes artillery and GAR in Paris.




Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/31/2015 7:41:36 PM)

French defense line after impulse 3.

Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/31/2015 7:48:50 PM)

Northern China and Manchuria

AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/31/2015 8:16:33 PM)

J/A 1940 Axis 4

No DoW

Italy the Naval they should have done last impulse. Others Land.

A CP and 2 CL move to East Med. I'll pass through interception as I'm sure Mayhemizer will want to initiate combat later.

On the other hand, Italian Trans moves into East Med. Do CW wish to intercept?




Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/31/2015 8:22:04 PM)

Yes please, intercept Trans. And initiate combat later as you guessed right.




AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/31/2015 8:24:58 PM)

Which sub do you wish to disorganise?




Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/31/2015 8:26:07 PM)

CW sub in box 3.




AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/31/2015 8:44:39 PM)

On a roll of 9, the Trans proceeds on its way in blissful ignorance of the peril lurking in the deep. It loads the Libya Mech and settles in the 0-box.

Other CL's take up positions in the 1-box and 4-box of East Med, which I pass through assuming no interceptions wanted.

2 CL's move to West Med 4-box.

Italian subs move to 3 and 2 box of Cape St Vincent.

3 areas for naval combat. The Italians will decline East Med but the CW are itching for a scrap.
