Yes I saw that. I think they are a bit late for Gibraltar - unless you can get Michael Fish doing the weather [;)]

That being the case these are sensible builds anyway in terms of options and to keep the CW needing to keep units in the UK.

Yes. But the implication is that the production is aimed at CW and not USSR.

Yes but not as in CW at the expense of the USSR - surely that ship has sailed?

So they take Gibraltar early this turn. Then what? What do they do while they are transporting units from Spain to Poland?

Seek to kick the CW/French out of North Africa I guess - but surely they will still attack the USSR? - unless they don't to try and keep the US out for longer? Nah.... its got to be the USSR as soon as enough units are ready, and in the meantime the Med.....




Orm -> RE: TOP SECRET ORMSTER + WARSPITE ONLY (10/16/2016 12:27:32 AM)

I am just saying that the earliest Germany will DOW USSR is '42.

And if I am wrong you can call me Ormster for the remainder of the game. [;)]

BTW: US entry into the war is not all that long away. Edit: At least not DOW attempts.

Okay Ormster [;)]




brian brian -> RE: TOP SECRET ORMSTER + WARSPITE ONLY (10/16/2016 1:53:23 AM)

Just keep fighting on the Spanish front no matter what, even if the front line moves to Morocco. A couple US units and airplanes make a difference there quick.




Orm -> RE: TOP SECRET ORMSTER + WARSPITE ONLY (10/16/2016 11:44:07 AM)

The order has actually gone out to hold Morocco, Malta, Egypt, and Bilbao at all costs. Gibraltar is just the first line of defence. [:)]

Eh... and with all costs we, of course, means a reasonable cost. [:D]




Orm -> RE: TOP SECRET ORMSTER + WARSPITE ONLY (10/16/2016 11:45:21 AM)

If just USA and USSR could come to the rescue or at least provide some assistance. [;)]

Don't worry, Operation Rock Relief will soon be underway. A Soviet attack on Greece is the last thing they will expect...

....should have built the AMPH sooner though [:@].




Orm -> RE: TOP SECRET ORMSTER + WARSPITE ONLY (10/16/2016 1:24:41 PM)

Indeed.




Orm -> RE: TOP SECRET ORMSTER + WARSPITE ONLY (10/16/2016 1:25:40 PM)

I will be offline for a couple of hours. As always, I trust that you will keep the game going forward when I am away. If at all possible, that is.

[:)]




warspite1 -> RE: TOP SECRET ORMSTER + WARSPITE ONLY (10/16/2016 1:56:17 PM)

Will do - although I don't expect any action until this evening.

Well Poldark is on at 9pm so I hope they get a move on [;)]

I can't see the Rock holding this turn unless they throw stupid dice - so the wait is just torture [&:]




warspite1 -> RE: TOP SECRET ORMSTER + WARSPITE ONLY (10/16/2016 9:25:24 PM)

Well that was pretty devastating! [X(] Both China and Gib.....




Orm -> RE: TOP SECRET ORMSTER + WARSPITE ONLY (10/16/2016 9:26:34 PM)

Indeed.




warspite1 -> RE: TOP SECRET ORMSTER + WARSPITE ONLY (10/17/2016 5:21:38 PM)

Yes, if you could let me have your thoughts for when you are away that would be helpful.




brian brian -> RE: TOP SECRET ORMSTER + WARSPITE ONLY (10/17/2016 6:25:30 PM)

Well the battle that is winning you the war so far was the BEF's Last Stand in Nantes. Make the opponent make the play - roll the dice - or you lose. Without Nantes the Panzers might well already be massed a bit east of Warsaw...

Interesting thought. [:)]




warspite1 -> RE: TOP SECRET ORMSTER + WARSPITE ONLY (10/19/2016 6:52:32 AM)

Ormster I was torn as to doing a naval with the CW - and so maximise the warship/convoy/shore bombardment position OR a combined which compromised that but allowed three organised units back in Gibraltar.

I went for the Combined in the end, with fleets in the Western Med and Bay of Biscay to provide some degree of shore bombardment support for units on the Rock and in the Basque country.




warspite1 -> RE: TOP SECRET ORMSTER + WARSPITE ONLY (10/19/2016 9:57:05 PM)

Well that could have been better - could have been worse. I achieved what I wanted to in Gibraltar although would have been nice to get a hit on one of those Infantry Corps. I just hope that the limitations of a combined does not come back and bite the CW on the bum.

More concerning is the China situation thanks to the loss of Changsha. I hope my move back into the mountains meets with your approval - the Chinese units are such low value - even in mountains they are in trouble in single stacks.

I couldn't think of anything in particular to do with the Americans that can't wait for an impulse or two.




Orm -> RE: TOP SECRET ORMSTER + WARSPITE ONLY (10/21/2016 8:38:35 PM)

The Americans are sending out their convoys to transport build points and oil to France and CW. Latest US entry options allows US convoy points to be used for this purpose.

Of course it could have been better, or worse. It can always be better, or worse. [:D]

But it was good enough. [:)]




Orm -> RE: TOP SECRET ORMSTER + WARSPITE ONLY (10/21/2016 9:02:19 PM)

What is your thoughts on the Chinese situation?




warspite1 -> RE: TOP SECRET ORMSTER + WARSPITE ONLY (10/21/2016 9:28:07 PM)

Well the north is going to receive good weather - but the Japanese are largely disorganised so we can hold here - at least for the present.

In the south we try and maintain the mountain positions, falling back gradually - once clear of the mountains we are screwed.





Orm -> RE: TOP SECRET ORMSTER + WARSPITE ONLY (10/21/2016 9:40:09 PM)

But in the North the attack might continue next turn. The lines needs to be reorganized or reinforced. Or do we fall back?

On the positive side is that Japan has not all that many units there either.

Okie. [:)]




warspite1 -> RE: TOP SECRET ORMSTER + WARSPITE ONLY (11/5/2016 12:08:42 PM)

Well the hits keep on coming......[X(]




Orm -> RE: TOP SECRET ORMSTER + WARSPITE ONLY (11/5/2016 12:27:24 PM)

Do you refer to the weather?

Only 50% chance of bad weather so that give the probability that the Axis gets fine weather to 100%. [;)]
