Abort undamaged transporter. All aborted ships goes to south west UK major port.


The undamaged transporter does indeed abort (1 rolled), closely followed by the convoy. Final abort? After which, do the CW wish to stay around and continue the party?

As far as I can tell, Gibraltar, Alex and the Far East.




Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (2/28/2015 1:05:06 PM)

Abort all ships.

Battleships are in Gibraltar and Egypt. Minor mistake :)

All ships will be summarily aborted. Allied return gunfire sends the Blucher back to port.

AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (2/28/2015 1:12:18 PM)

The Allied ships will retire in good order to a SW port. Where do you want the Spitfire to land?




Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (2/28/2015 1:16:21 PM)

Spitfire to Denmark with land units.




AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (2/28/2015 1:40:02 PM)

The Spitfire heads to Denmark, while the navy goes to Portsmouth.

No strategic or carpet bombing.

The Germans rail an Inf from Poznan to Cernauti.

The line is adjusted in Romania. The two Divs in Denmark consolidate to try and hold Copenhagen. A shuffle at Lodz brings another unit into the combat.

Only 1 combat, at Lodz. Von Leeb takes personal charge of the assault.

The defenders don't put up much resistance and Lodz falls to the Wermarcht.

AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (2/28/2015 1:47:41 PM)

Two Ftr's and a Bomber move towards Kiel. Von Rundstedt reorganises an Inf and a Mech.

On a 2, the turn ends.

Oh, not as I hoped :)

I don't get to computer before evening.




AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (2/28/2015 1:58:01 PM)

Okay, I'll catch up with you later.

In the meantime, a partisan appears in Malaya and takes up residence in Singapore.




AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (2/28/2015 4:48:52 PM)

I've found I can't save after I have done my neutrality-pact markers. Where would you like yours to go? Offence or defence?




Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (2/28/2015 5:04:40 PM)

Defense please.

Maybe next time I need to do that if you put yours to offence. Offence chits are show to enemy?

Well, we have no problem :)




Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (2/28/2015 7:14:16 PM)

Some turn...

What did I do right:
-3 units in Denmark should be pain in the ass
-5 strat bombing with result 6 PP lost (OK, dice did that, no me)

What went wrong:
-CW did not fly Polish planes away during 1st impulse, so USSR did not take East Poland during 2nd Allied impulse. Result: Germany has all Poland.
-USSR did not have East Poland and claimed Bessarabia in bad weather. Result: turn ended next impulse and USSR achieved 1 hex with a cost of 2 USE chits. Maybe I do something differently next time... Looks like a fun Barbarossa... EDIT: Also being aware about rules before attacking Rumania is important.

What should I do now:
Something more crazy and more stupid, so no one will remember this turn!

On the other hand this is now more interesting that ordinary history based game :)




Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (2/28/2015 7:21:49 PM)

Dear corporal in Berlin,

I thought we were friends. I thought we had a secret deal about land areas. I feel like betrayed and used.

Some of my generals are warning me that you might attack against me. I was thinking you wouldn't do that, would you?

There is a saying: Shame on me if you fool me once, but shame you if you fool me twi... Or how did it go? Anyway, I don't trust you anymore. Don't count me as your friend anymore. I sent you an invitation to my birthday party, but you invitation is now cancelled! How do you feel now? Maybe you now can understand how I feel!

Regards
Joe




Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (2/28/2015 7:28:02 PM)

US entry:
1 chit to Japan entry pool.

US choose "Chinese build aircraft" rolling 7 for no effect.




Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (2/28/2015 8:15:51 PM)

Units destroyed in S/O 1939.

In Berlin, word about the expected production figures has come to the attention of the Beloved Corporal. He greets the news in his usual calm, philosophical manner.

AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/1/2015 1:17:21 PM)

Elsewhere, Italian (2 BP available) and Japanese (11 BP available) factories stand idle, clamouring out for resources. Where might those come from? Now that is a good question.

The Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and Hipper are ordered to remain on station in the North Sea. Other ships and aircraft will return to base.




AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/1/2015 1:55:44 PM)

Irritatingly, I find out too late the game has also decided to send 2 Jap CP's home from the South China Sea. That costs Japan a BP.

Sportingly, Mayhemizer allows the stay at sea phase to be re-done.




AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/1/2015 2:56:53 PM)

Dear Diary,

We now detect a slight fraying of The Grand Master Plan around one of the corners. It seems, instead of perishing in a vain attempt to return to Mother France, that little cruiser task force in the Baltic has elected to extend its pleasure cruise. Of course, while my mighty Wehrmacht hold Copenhagen, their eventual demise is guaranteed. It's just that it's all a bit messy and inconvenient. I suppose I'll have to do something about them.




Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/1/2015 7:39:10 PM)

Allied ships in Europe stayed at sea. US transporter went to Manila Philippines.

France used "break down armies/corps" in Syria and 3-3 INF became to 2x 1-3 INF div.

It suspect that some orders to change the status of the 3 idle resources and the resource lost by ZOC could improve the German production slightly.

Hi Orm,

Forgive a little poetic license for the sake of the narrative.

The lost to ZOC is caused by a Polish unit, so should rectify at the conquest stage but not in time for this round. The idle resources are the Swedish ones. With the weather being what it was, although the end of turn was generally beneficial to the Axis, one negative consequence was I had not yet re-established the Baltic convoys. To have done so would have meant foregoing the chance at the Transports, which I felt was too good an opportunity to miss.

The Baltic convoys will be put back in place but some pest control is needed!

The Germans scrap an Hs-123. With 9 [:(] BP to spend, the Germans build an Inf, complete a sub, start another, train a pilot and build a Lnd 2.

The Italians build a Terr.

The Japanese, in the unusual position of having the highest Axis production, finish the Shokaku and build a CVP-1 plus pilot, an Inf, 2 CP and 6 CVP-0.

China
INF
Save 1 BP to Kashgar


CW
Naval repair Transporter
AMPH (1st cycle)
CARRIER (1st cycle)

Pilot

INF
CP
4x Carrier Air (0)


France
MIL
Anti-tank


USA
BB (1st)
Carrier (1st) (The only ship in pool is the CV Hornet)
1x Carrier air (0)
AMPH (1st)
TRANS (1st)
Naval repair CV Saratoga


USSR
2x INF
GAR

Denmark is completely conquered by Germany (Iceland, Faeroes and Greenland becomes neutral).




AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/2/2015 7:23:35 PM)

Having got his composure back, our Beloved Corporal emerges from his boudoir to compose a letter.

Dear Uncle Joe,

My dear fellow, from the highly emotional tone of your most recent communique, I get the impression that all is, perhaps, not quite well with the special understanding between our two great nations.

You accuse me of breaking agreements but I think you'll find a close study of the terms (paragraph 19.6.2) indicates I always had the option to deny your request, on the understanding you would immediately go to war with Rumania. I would also point out, in full accordance with our agreement, I purposely left Eastern Poland free of my forces, for you to take possession of as you saw fit, and yet, for some unaccountable reason, you have chosen not to. I can hardly be blamed for the region reverting to my control in consequence.

However, it is fair to say I had no idea that little corner of the Balkans had so much significance to the people of the USSR. It occurs to me I may have been a tad hasty in rejecting your claim to the region. As a man of peace, only interested in pursuing a Europe united in common brotherhood, I am now inclined to acquiesce to your request. You are most welcome to take control of Bessarabia as you see fit. It almost pains me to point out, however, in accordance with our agreement, you must now desist from further military endeavours in the country and end this bit of unpleasantness with the Rumanians.

In furtherance of our special relationship, I am going to overlook these recent outbursts and put them down to the mental strain you must be feeling at this difficult time.

Your most humble obedient servant.

The Beloved Corporal.




Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer AAR (3/2/2015 7:50:56 PM)

CW helps France by sending 3 resources and 3 BP's.
