Jan/Feb '43
Impulse #1 (Allied)

The submarines in China Sea decide to stay out of the action. No combat.




Orm -> RE: 4 player E-mail: AAR (4/8/2018 6:50:12 PM)

Next up is South China Sea where a US submarine activate combat. All Allied nations decline to reinforce the sea area. Japan has one naval bomber and one fighter that can reinforce South China Sea. Any takers?

I wish I know what is going on in far east...

Japanese NAV goes to box 2.

I wish I knew what was going on too. For now though, that was a good call for the NAV.

I am sorry that you lack information. [:(]




Orm -> RE: 4 player E-mail: AAR (4/12/2018 6:49:15 PM)

Allies roll 7 and Axis 1. The Japanese naval bomber finds the US submarines. How will Japan proceed?

At this point Axis must hit when they can. Naval air combat, maximum damage and Axis stay. No additional air unless Allies bring planes.

Axis place D on 5 strength sub and A on some undamaged sub.

That wasn't meant as a comment on what you've posted for us. Simply a reflection on my own confusion [&:]




Orm -> RE: 4 player E-mail: AAR (4/14/2018 8:58:57 AM)

One submarine damaged and two aborted. Allies stay but do not include submarines. Combat over. The SUBs abort to Singapore.

Next up is Bismarck Sea where the Dutch initiate the hunt for Japanese merchantmen.

Allies add no air and Japan has no air available. Allies roll 4 and that is low enough to find the convoy. The Axis roll of 3 does nothing to save the CP.

US launch a raid against Paris. One heavy bomber and one medium bomber. One fighter is on standby in Southern England should the bombers need fighter assistance. Germany has two fighters available for interception.

Surprisingly few aircraft remain in UK. A couple of NAV3 are hidden in the Liverpool stack. One can suspect that the fighter on a TRS in the Faeroes Gap is on its way to UK.

Orm -> RE: 4 player E-mail: AAR (4/14/2018 9:28:07 AM)

Will any of the German fighters intercept the Paris raid?




Mayhemizer_slith -> RE: 4 player E-mail: AAR (4/14/2018 9:39:58 AM)

Fighter in Paris intercepts and land back to Paris.




Orm -> RE: 4 player E-mail: AAR (4/14/2018 9:48:42 AM)

That went well for the Allies.

The German fighters crash land in Paris. [;)]

No Ground Strikes.

USSR rail Kubishiyev MIL to Ryazan.

Over to Lord Warspite1 for the rest of our impulse.

Jan/Feb 1943
Impulse: 1 (Allies)


Land Movement:
Soviet Union

There are some detail movements along the line but nothing to write home about.

Zhukov's front is bolstered by the addition of two cavalry corps, and with their left flank covered, the 16th Rifle Army are ordered south supported by the 1st Guards Cavalry Corps to threaten Vitebsk.

The Kuban is reinforced and there are some additions to the defence of Rostov.

Not much happening elsewhere of any note.

Chinese Communists

Mao's Western Army continue their long trek east and hope to reach Suchow and environs before the war ends....

Chinese Nationalists

Chiang orders his units to put some pressure on the Hanoi garrison

United States

The 15th Army Group continues to position in central Finland

Debark:
United States

Two US Marine Divisions are landed in Pago Pago (so good they named it twice).

Rebase:
Commonwealth

Three fighters move From Algeria/Tunisia to Malta/Libya

United States

A fighter unloads to Belfast and a Liberator moves to Greenland
Two fighters in Polynesia land on nearby islands

Soviet Union

An I-153 flies north of the oilfields at Armavir and a P-40 to the east

Reorganisation: None




AllenK -> RE: 4 player E-mail: AAR (4/14/2018 3:47:10 PM)

J/F 43 Axis 4

Germany and Italy combined. Japan naval.

Japan sends float fighter to South China Sea 4-box.

Japan sends CA from Bangkok to South China Sea 0-box. CA from Pontiak goes to the 4-box. 2 BB's from Hainan go to 3-box, where they are joined by CVL from Legaspi. I decline the intercepts on behalf of the Allies. Hopefully the correct choice.

Sub sails from Tokyo to Coral Sea 3-box.

The short range CA sails to China Sea 0-box. 3 slow BB's sail from Japan to China Sea 3-box. I decline the intercepts.

AMPH at Tokyo loads INF and moves to Chain Sea accompanied by 3 CV and 3 CS's. Do the Allies wish to intercept this one?

warspite1 -> RE: 4 player E-mail: AAR (4/14/2018 5:12:50 PM)

No thank-you.




AllenK -> RE: 4 player E-mail: AAR (4/14/2018 5:25:42 PM)

The task force continues to the Bismark Sea. To speed things along, I decline the intercept and the fleet stays in the 2-box. It is joined by 2 BB's from Legaspi.

Two subs sail from Rabaul to the Coral Sea 3 and 4 boxes.

2 CA's escort another loaded TRANS from Japan to China Sea. Do the Allies wish to intercept this one?

[image]local://upfiles/47730/3AADB6990F0E4AC78DA50445B225A492.jpg[/image]




AllenK -> RE: 4 player E-mail: AAR (4/14/2018 6:51:33 PM)

To move the game on, I'll assume a decline. We can always go back.

The ships continue to the Bismark Sea and settle in the 2-box (again I decline the intercept).

German sub sails from Kiel to Norwegian Sea 3-box. It is joined by an Italian sub sailing from Brest to the 2-box.

Japan declines naval combat in China Sea, South China Sea and Bismark Sea. An attempt is made in the Coral Sea. The sub in the 4-box initiates. Both sides roll a 1 for searching. How do the Allies wish to allocate damage?

[image]local://upfiles/47730/40EDEE312E4A4595B805A611DF7AB249.jpg[/image]




AllenK -> RE: 4 player E-mail: AAR (4/14/2018 7:09:59 PM)

No-one from the Allies is around so I'll put the D on Fiji plus as many A's as possible if it's damaged. The rest for the Gloucester and then Canberra.

Final tally.

[image]local://upfiles/47730/954A620E3ADD4496BD06BA8F2991775A.jpg[/image]




Orm -> RE: 4 player E-mail: AAR (4/14/2018 7:18:24 PM)

Allies stay.

If possible, abort the ships to Adelaide. Thank you.




AllenK -> RE: 4 player E-mail: AAR (4/14/2018 7:20:31 PM)

The response.

[image]local://upfiles/47730/BE408C2C3CE94BA1BBD3B12E667EBFF1.jpg[/image]




AllenK -> RE: 4 player E-mail: AAR (4/14/2018 7:29:57 PM)

Round 2.

Searches: Axis 5, Allies 4. No combat. CW ships go to Adelaide. Jap subs go to Tokyo and Rabaul.

Next up, Norwegian Sea.

The German sub initiates. Searches: Axis 2, Allies 1. How do the Allies wish to spend their 2 surprise points?

Orm -> RE: 4 player E-mail: AAR (4/14/2018 7:33:40 PM)

Increase the damage to at least one D. Otherwise reduce the damage suffered.

Abort port is Liverpool.




AllenK -> RE: 4 player E-mail: AAR (4/14/2018 7:36:37 PM)

HMS Southampton dodges a couple of torpedoes.

Then, escorting destroyers plant a couple of depth charges on the U-boat, sending it limping back to Kiel.
