Final odds in Poland IF both sides use HQ support.

Do Polish HQ want use defending HQ support? Is it assault or Blitz?

AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/4/2015 6:54:40 AM)

No to notional, no to HQ support. Assault tables please.

German keeps destroying CW transporters

Japan uses Attacking HQ support.

GO JAPAN!!!

Edit: On a 3 US ignores.

Germany uses Attacking HQ support.

CW must choose one unit to be destroyed and another to be shattered.

If I would have rolled 2 higher this impulse would have been perfect. I think this impulse was the best I have ever had. Even better than taking Paris with 10% change and turn ends before France can do near automatic counter attack...

AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/4/2015 8:06:06 AM)

Shatter 5-3 Inf. This isn't a game. So far it's nothing more than a crapshoot. We may as well just flip a coin and declare winner. I call heads.



Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/4/2015 10:35:16 AM)

Germany rebases Bf109 from Poland to central Germany, Ju88 to Essen, Ju52 to Frankfurt and Bf109 from southern Germany to Aachen.

Back to Allies.

I feel very lucky. I think I try my luck in Eurojackpot today...

Hats off to you two [&o]- keep up the good work



Centuur -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/4/2015 4:38:33 PM)

The targeting of the CW TRS is a very good decision. It hampers the ability for the CW to reinforce important area's for a long time. I always say that if you can kill off CW, Japanese or Italian TRS in early war, you are doing very good indeed.

I'm therefore surprised that the Dutch TRS was setup in the Netherlands. It should have been setup in either the Caribbean or the NEI to prevent that it was going to be destroyed in the surprise impulse. It's the most valuable unit the Dutch has IMHO...

Hmm. I'm not entirely sure why I put it there. I think I was trying to preserve as many CP's as possible, which is why it was in Netherlands, but why it was on it's own in Amsterdam [&:]. Partly it was playing the percentages and losing. It isn't large odds that both the invasion would get through and the over-run would result in capture/destroy but, in this case, the run of the dice went against me. I guess it comes down to the old WiF adage: If you can't afford the worst possible result, don't do it.



AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/4/2015 7:48:10 PM)

S/O 39 Allied 4

CW declares war on Italy. On a 4 US are annoyed enough to remove 1 chit from the pool.



AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/4/2015 8:31:25 PM)

All combined except Nationalists, Land.

Sheffield loads an Inf Div from Malta and puts into West Med 4-box. The remaining 5 CA's in Malta make a bee-line to the Red Sea 4-box.

US sends a Hudson and 2 subs out into the Pacific area towards Pearl/Midway.

5 potential areas for naval combat.

AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/4/2015 8:37:10 PM)

North Sea

Searches: Allies 1, Axis 7.

Allies choose surface combat. How do the Axis want to place the damage?

Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/4/2015 8:41:52 PM)

X to CL. 2D to 6 defence CA's. After this round Kriegmarine returns to Kiel, NAV to some North Sea coastal hex adjacent to Kiel.



AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/4/2015 8:46:56 PM)

The Kriegmarine get away with lighter damage than they might have done.

CW losses

AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/4/2015 9:05:40 PM)

Both sides abort, so no further combat.

East Med.

Allies 2, Axis 7.

Allies use surprise points to increase damage but leave 3 to target Trans. Where do Axis wish to put 2nd D?

Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/4/2015 9:07:43 PM)

To CP thanks



AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/4/2015 9:57:54 PM)

Damaged Trans aborts to Tripoli so as not to run into any other Allied ships.

West Med

Searches Allies 1, Axis 3.

The lone Italian CP is sent to the bottom.

Italian Coast

Searches Allied 3, Axis 6.

The lone Italian CP is sent to the bottom.

Red Sea

Searches Allies 3, Axis 8.

Italian Trans with Inf is sent to the bottom.

US rails an Art from West to East.

USSR enters East Poland but US isn't bothered on a 9. They continue to the Baltic states and still the US takes no notice on a 6.

Communist 1st Inf withdraws from near Yenan back towards Tianshui.

Nationalists move a couple of units into Nanning and their 2 Cav to Ichang.

CW moves a Terr to Alexandria and France swaps the Mtn and an Inf around at Nice.

CW Inf Div invades Cagliari in Sardinia. The attack is automatic.

Spitfire rebases to Plymouth and Hampden to Southern France.

No reorgs.

Weather stays fine everywhere on a 4.



AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/5/2015 4:17:22 PM)

S/O 39 Axis 5

Germany declares war on Belgium (US entry chit added on an 8) and Denmark (US entry chit added on a 3).

Belgium deploys the 2 Inf in Antwerp and the Cav in Liege. 2 CP's and a Terr in Belgium Congo.

Denmark deploys 2 CA and 1 CP in the northern port and 5 CP in the Faeroes.



Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/5/2015 5:38:08 PM)

Note to myself:

Germany (Fall Gelb)
-7 INF, IN HQ, INF div in Poland was enough
-Set up units in Belgian border. Do NOT set any reserve units in Belgian border, they just block other units.

Italy
-One unit in Sardiania. Sardinia is not part of Italy and reserves cannot be placed there.

Now I will not forget these.




Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/5/2015 6:05:47 PM)

Germany and Japan land, Italy naval

Naval air and naval phase:

Cape St. Vincent
Submarines to box 1 and box 3.

Cape Verde Basin
Submarine box 2.

West Med
Italian FTR box 2, NAV box 4 and 6xCA and 1xCL box 4.

Italian Coast
2xCA and 2xCL enters sea area. Do CW subs want to intercept them?

And later when naval combats begins in all possible sea areas, do Hampden want to fly to West Med?



AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/5/2015 8:14:01 PM)

Subs stay on the bottom and Hampden stays on the ground, thanks.



Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/6/2015 1:04:08 PM)

Italian ships go trough Italian Coast to East Med box 3.

Italy initiates combat in every possible sea area. I just realized one of my subs should have gone to Bay of Biscay and hunt for CW transporter with Mech...

Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/6/2015 1:07:58 PM)

Cape Verde Basin: Axis 1, Allies 4. I guess this game is all about sinking non-phasing side ships...

Italy uses 4 points to increase damage.

Do CW want to continue and where do aborted ships go?

Edit: Is Gambia or South Africa OK for aborted ships as there are Italian subs blocking route to Gibraltar?

Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/6/2015 1:27:18 PM)

Question about hex control: Why Amsterdam is controlled by CW even if Germany invaded and captured Amsterdam last impulse? If this is correct I almost missed it and it would have costed a lot. Now it is not a problem, I can take it by INF on my way to attack Belgium.

AllenK -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/6/2015 2:08:52 PM)

Gambia is fine.

This bug was fixed in the latest version. Are you using it? If you are, can you report it in the Tech forum with a gamesave? Thanks...



Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/6/2015 3:14:33 PM)

Thanks, I don't have the latest version.



AlbertN -> RE: AllenK vs Mayhemizer III: Oil be back. (9/6/2015 4:37:17 PM)

I don't advice to upgrade to the latest version.

I've met fatal bugs that costed me a game in 1943.
Just remember to always include the notional to conquer the hex. Even if it's a +21 attack.
