May/Jun 1941. Axis #3. Japanese Land Combat. China [77,137]. The IJN in Northern China manage to shatter a communist Chinese Militia Army defending in the mountains. The communist chose to fight the battle on the Blitz table in the hopes of saving the army. Turns out the communist made a good call as the Chinese army was shatter but would have been destroyed if the attack had been made on the assault table.

May/Jun 1941. Allied #4. Actions. The CW and China take a land. Free France, USA and USSR all take a combined. Reorg. The only real action worth reporting from the allies this impulse was that Gort was used to reorganize an RAF strategic bomber which will be used next impulse to continue the RAF's strategic bombing campaign against German production.

May/Jun 1941. Axis #9 and Allied #10. Weather. Wow, another weather roll of 1, but this roll was modified to a 3 which produce fine weather in the North Temperate and the Med. Axis #9. Actions. The Germans take a land and continue moving everything they can to the East including the Luftwaffe. Effectively the Germans are leaving the cities wide open to RAF strategic bombers. But, once the Germans can break the pact and go to war with the Soviets, they will move a number of fighters back to protect the cities. Just not now. The Japanese and Italians also take a land. The Japanese use their action and the fine weather in northern China to continue their attacks on the communist Chinese. [image]local://upfiles/31901/4E0D301C80614550ADEDCD58340C3526.jpg[/image]

May/Jun 1941. Allied #10. Actions. The CW and Chinese take a land. Free France, USA and USSR take a combined. RAF Strategic Bombing. With fighter cover stripped in the West, RAF strategic bombers fly unopposed and inflict 3 PPs of damage on German production this impulse. This brings to a total of 5 German PPs destroyed this turn by the RAF. [image]local://upfiles/31901/E414709D3C084539A0A721EF1E290276.jpg[/image]

May/Jun 1941. US Entry Pool and Options. The US adds another chit to the Japan Entry pool. However, it only chooses an option that targets Germany (and Italy). Option 29, North Atlantic Escorts. The thought is that the USN could take most of the burden of escorting convoys in the North Atlantic and free up a number of RN cruisers for duty elsewhere.

May/Jun 1941. Country Economic Reports. Germany lost 5 production points, which translates directly to a 5 BP loss, to RAF strategic bombing. That's a 17% reduction in Germany war production! Japan's oil reserve is down to 2 points! It's only oil income is 1 oil point per turn from its synthetic oil facility. China suffered no reduction in production even though Japan made a significant effort at strategic bombing of Chinese factories. That is, Japan's strategic bombing this turn had no effect. However, I don't see Japan letting up in this effort. The USSR used 3 saved oil points to bump their production up to 29 PPs, which gave them 15 build points (before trade). Because of rounding effects, these 3 oil points increased Soviet production by 2 BPs with a 50% production multiplier. [image]local://upfiles/31901/4BE0D81A3A834F229BD9CFF1EAB6C4BA.jpg[/image]

July/August 1941. Trade. There were no changes to any of the trade agreements. Everything is as it was last turn. [image]local://upfiles/31901/72D48DB28DFD4595A23B3B4410DE774A.jpg[/image]

rkr1958 -> RE: Historical Global War AAR #2 (5/2/2015 6:30:40 PM)
July/August 1941. To say the least, the German player is bummed out. He's short 9 garrison points of being able to break the Nazi-Soviet pact. Initiative. First Roll. The axis roll a 7 and the allies an 10. The allies win the first roll. The Germans decide not to re-roll given that they have no chance of breaking the Nazi-Soviet pact and invading the Soviet Union. The allies choose to move first. Allied #1. Weather is fine except for storms across the equator, which includes southern China. It's monsoon season there! The CW takes a naval, China a land and everyone else a combined. [image]local://upfiles/31901/B1633B08FB4E4FC6B42784FB205D21BC.jpg[/image]

rkr1958 -> RE: Historical Global War AAR #2 (5/2/2015 6:33:45 PM)
July/August 1941. Allied #1. North Atlantic. In the North Atlantic, the USN sends a carrier, battleship and cruiser to sea box 0 to help escort the convoys there. With the US being able to help escort convoys here, German u-boats can't really operate in this sea area anymore. [image]local://upfiles/31901/7890141D7A8A481C9BC880C82CD9818A.jpg[/image]

rkr1958 -> RE: Historical Global War AAR #2 (5/2/2015 6:39:42 PM)
July/August 1941. Allied #1. Italian Coast. In addition to doing the normal business of their first naval move of a turn (e.g., convoy escorts, adjusting convoy routes), the CW moves strong RN forces into the Italian Coast in order to challenge the Italian control of that area. Both sides failed to find each other. So no combat for now. [image]local://upfiles/31901/9125ED53BE0F4668B7393F47E8A324AD.jpg[/image]

rkr1958 -> RE: Historical Global War AAR #2 (5/2/2015 6:41:54 PM)
July/August 1941. Allied #1. RAF Strategic Bombing of Germany. With all Luftwaffe air units in the east trying to help break the Nazi-Soviet pact, RAF strategic bombers continue fly unopposed to their targets. Three RAF strategic bombing raids managed to destroy 2 German production points. [image]local://upfiles/31901/B6D29FE5BB6C47DFAC4EAD3A2B4C2FEE.jpg[/image]
