AXIS #7 JAN/FEB 44

Midway was retaken. Rommel's HQ was shattered. A German Cavalry Division on the western bank of the mouth of the Seine was destroyed.

Japan naval, Germany & Italy land actions.

The Japanese battlefleet leaves Truk for the Marianas, and finds a substantial US carrier fleet in box 2 (1 & 8).

The first grand carrier engagement of the Pacific war.

Naval air combat ensues. The Japanese have plenty of support from land based air units. They spend 2 surprise points to gain +1 air to air.

Ten Japanese bombers clear as the remaining US bombers abort.

6 surprise points to reduce US fleet AAA.

professorhex -> RE: New AAR Keith Vs Ian (7/8/2017 12:26:07 AM)

A single bomber is destroyed by AAA, and another takes -3.

But this is going to hurt.

Three modern carriers are destroyed with the cruiser Detroit, and another cruiser damaged. The Americans abort.

The Battle of Midway saw the Japanese blasted off the island, but an important victory at sea for Japan: better box, land based air support, right aerial tactics, good dice.

Italian bombers ground striking Yeremenko's near-encircled forces are hindered only by the snow.

professorhex -> RE: New AAR Keith Vs Ian (7/8/2017 12:38:16 AM)

The Germans miss in response to the Soviet attack against Rommel in the east and also miss Bradley's HQ, though an accompanying Mechanised Division is hit.

Paras are deployed again, this time against Yeremenko's HQ.

In Yugolsavia, an Italian antipartisan operation is an embarrassing failure.

But von Rundstedt drives on against the eastern edge of Yeremenko's beleagured armies.

Yeremenko somehow survives Guderian's pincer attack.

professorhex -> RE: New AAR Keith Vs Ian (7/8/2017 12:43:40 AM)

The Italians lose two divisions in a failed invasion of British Aden.

So it isn't all going the Axis' way, despite that bloody nose for the US Navy.

Turn ended on a 1! Axis isn't sorry.

Partisans across the Balkans are emboldened by news from Yugoslavia.

French partisans deny more resources to the Germans.

AXIS #4 MAR/APR 44

Allies won initiative, a quiet impulse.

Italy & Germany land, Japan naval actions.

Japanese naval searches fail.

The Allies decline to intercept three Luftwaffe ground strikes in the snow, generally wisely.

Tankbusters miss Bradley's HQ and the American tanks in Netherlands.

Only the Royal Marines are hit.

professorhex -> RE: New AAR Keith Vs Ian (7/9/2017 8:44:23 PM)

The Axis press the attack on Bradley regardless of having failed to ground strike him.

This time the Allies confront ground supporting aircraft.

professorhex -> RE: New AAR Keith Vs Ian (7/9/2017 8:46:20 PM)

A violent engagement. New model FW190s perform well against the excellent RAF Typhoons.

Goering is impatient for the new generation jets.

The Allies abort once the Maryland and Stukas are through.

Some bombers from both sides clear.

Italian rear area units are successful against partisans in Yugoslavia at the second attempt.

professorhex -> RE: New AAR Keith Vs Ian (7/9/2017 8:51:38 PM)

Rommel's HQ has reformed and has remained in the west. Elements of this new Army Group eliminate partisans in Strasbourg.
