Japan rails 2x MAR to Shanghai. Italy rails AT gun to Tunis. Germany rails INF from Poland to Saarbrucken and 2x INF from Hungary to Netherlands and Poland.

Italian INF moves to mountains adjacent to Tunis.

Germany lost their courage and declares only two automatic attacks. No combat in China.

Germany rebases planes to front line in Belgium.

Japan rebases NAV from Canton to Tungkwan and bomber one hex in central China.

Yamamoto reorganizes 2x MAR, AA gun and CP.

New weather makes things interesting in France, China and Manchuria. Winter is not coming...

As long as the turn doesn't end on a 1...



AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/20/2015 10:34:26 AM)

N/D 39 Allies 7

No DoW

USSR, China Land, rest Combined.

CW sails Queens to Biscay 1-box and loads II Inf. CVL Eagle plus CL sail back to Liverpool.

French Trans sails to Cape Verde 1-box and picks up Dakar Mil.

US moves Trans back to West Coast, Marshall to Pago Pago and 40mm to Pearl.

Hampdens bomb Rome, while Harrows go for Essen.

The Essen effort probably destroyed somewhere in the Netherlands.

The effort on Rome wasn't much better.

AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/20/2015 11:40:41 AM)

Glasgow Mil rails to Plymouth.

Zhukov disorganises himself to restore supply in Manchuria. The 3 Inf move up on Tsitsihar. 2 Cav move as far as they can along the rail tracks from Vladivostok and Chita.

Mao and Lanchow Mil move into mountain near Tianshui. Nationalists shadow the advancing Japanese forces near Wuhan.

CW moves London mil to Bristol and the two Inf Divs on Sardinia swap positions.

France moves to get two units in front of the Germans on the shortest route to Paris but it's all looking a bit desperate as the gaps appear elsewhere.

1 combat declared in Manchuria with 3 air support added. Assault table?

Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/20/2015 11:45:28 AM)

Yes please, assault sounds good.



AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/20/2015 11:55:24 AM)

The assault goes well.

USSR completes rebase of TB-7 to Vladivostok. Ftr to Tsitsihar.

No reorgs.

Turn ............. continues on a 3.




Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/20/2015 12:21:59 PM)

I wonder how bad Japanese situation is in central and southern China... Hopefully not as bad as situation in France.



AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/20/2015 12:25:21 PM)

Northern and central China.

AlbertN -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/20/2015 1:25:03 PM)

I dare say the Japanese are too dispersed in China to have any impact in general. But that is my opinion.

This is a game of brute force. Mass your troops somewhere and screen other sectors or you won't go anywhere in China.



Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/20/2015 3:03:37 PM)

"In China I have same plan as last time (it will remain secret for some time). But this time I will be focused on my target, not shoot from the hip (and change plans immediately when I see an opportunity) like I usually do."

I said this in post #28 before starting the game.

My goal was to destroy Communist Chinese and not attack Nationalist Chinese at all, even if they give me good opportunity.

After losing Wuhan I had to send some troops to protect my supply line. Then they started advancing close to Hangchow and I sent more troops to central China. They were too far from closest own city, they were not able to attack...

And USSR... I have to send troops to Manchuria. I was worried Chinese CAV from Wuhan would have galloped northeast. That would have required railing units to block the way. Now I can rail all possible troops to Manchuria.

I had a clear vision what I want to do with Germany, but I need to think if I do that now.

Edit: situation in France is very good for Germany. My INF could walk to Lyons, but I think I have some attacking to do.



AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/20/2015 3:20:57 PM)

I did consider the Cav move but it couldn't have galloped far enough to get out of reach of the units around Nanking and Shanghai. It would have been a relatively easy kill barring a very poor roll. So, on balance, discretion prevailed this time. Hopefully a better opportunity will materialise.



Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/20/2015 6:16:06 PM)

N/D 39 Axis 8

No DoW

Germany and Italy land, Japan combined.

Japanese NAV to China Sea box 2.

2x MAR in Shangai are loaded to AMPH and Trans. Both ships sails to China Sea, do USSR subs want to intercept?


[image]local://upfiles/39586/A3BB53057D194CF092483B4883EDFCF5.jpg[/image]



AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/20/2015 6:36:19 PM)

Yes please.



Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/20/2015 6:44:28 PM)

I thought that might be juicy enough target...

On a 7 Japanese ships avoid danger. They sail to Sea of Japan box 2. Large naval fleet follows to box 3 including CV's, BB's and some escorting ships.

No naval combat.



Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/20/2015 6:50:18 PM)

Only one ground strike is coming but it is better than average.

I was considered if I should ground strike or use Ju88 to get +1 for sure using ground support...

Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/20/2015 7:06:41 PM)

Italy rails GAR to Rome. Japan rails GAR from Korea to Manchuria.

Japan moves MIL to Shanghai. Italy moves 2 units closer to French border. Italian TER in Kenya captures Nairobi (after a long time I used arrow button to go trough all land units and found that unit). Germany moves units in France/Belgium, all but one organized units in that area will take part of attacks.

2x MAR invades Vladivostok. Either Axis or Allies will cry after Vladivostok combat is over...

Land combats in France/Belgium in picture.

Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/20/2015 7:17:32 PM)

1) I assume USSR chooses notional units as it gives odds +5 (+6 without notional units).

Japan gives 10 points offensive shore bombardment.

2) Do France want to use defending HQ support in France? Current odds are +11.3B.

3) Do USSR want to use Pe-8 for ground support in Vladivostok? Japanese send 3 points of ground strikes and 3 factor plane as fighter. Another 3 factor plane is ready to intercept from CV.

4) Germany uses Bf109's in ground support missions. Do French FTR want to intercept to combat in Belgium? Current odds are +11,8B and Germany brings 2 points of ground support and factor 5 Bf109 is ready to intercept.



AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/20/2015 7:41:16 PM)

Include notional and fly Pe-8, otherwise, no thanks.



Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/20/2015 7:49:44 PM)

Bad news for Japan...

Edit: I wish I could have planned this invasion and bring MAR div and regular div also to take losses...

[image]local://upfiles/39586/22ADC5C8D6D34B02A3E72DDECDFE2468.jpg[/image]



Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/20/2015 7:53:11 PM)

Where do Pe-8 want to land? Is city 8 hexes north or Tsitsihar in Manchuria OK?

Edit: Odds in Vladivostok after ground support is +6,538. I must have been drunk when I planned this move, I need to final result 20+ to take city and survive at least with one unit.



AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/20/2015 8:09:31 PM)

Khabarovsk will be fine



Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/20/2015 8:13:12 PM)

Final odds. I guess Allies choose assault in Metz and Vladivostok?

[image]local://upfiles/39586/87D560B706B64FDC9AB365C264EF176B.jpg[/image]



AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/20/2015 8:14:05 PM)

Assaults would be good.



Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/20/2015 8:16:04 PM)

First attack is almost a disaster, luckily there are no losses for Germany.
