Some changes to Italy's set up.

Headquartered in Torino, Graziani's Army Group hugs the French Alpine frontier. The fleet sits in La Spezia, an infantry division and AAA guard the naval base.

In North Africa, two of the faster units start in Tripoli.

Balbo is behind fortifications on the Egyptian border, with some fighter-bombers.

This time we are playing with supply units, which can be useful in the desert.

Will the Italians again try to rescue their assets from East Africa before the British close the Suez canal?

The Italians should be able to start one of the TRANS in Eritrea. That way you can get either the INF or supply unit clear.

I didn't know this! Too late for these Italians, but thanks AllenK.

Here is a strategic view of the Chinese setup.

Here is part of the Commonwealth setup. The UK with some troops stacked with transports. Wonder where they are headed!!

German set up.

Von Leeb in the west, and a little more muscle for von Bock in East Prussia and von Rundstedt who is revving his engines on the Polish border between Poznan and Katowice.

This time the Germans broke down a couple of weaker infantry corps to supply some motorized divisions.

Didn't mean to leave that artillery parked in the woods near Leipzig. Oops.

The Kriegsmarine is mostly at Kiel.

Japan setup.

In Manchuria, Terauchi is heading south.

South China.

Army Group Umezu is close to Changsha.

A carrier fleet is based at Canton. A second faster carrier fleet is at Truk. The older cruisers and the transports are at Sasebo and Fukuoka.

The supply unit can walk out of the desert into Libya via Sudan once a war. Very hard for the Allies to run it down in the middle of the desert and its always in supply.

Top tip. Thanks Majorball68.

AXIS IMPULSE #1 SEPT/OCT 1939

Germany declares war on Poland. The Fuehrer dreamed of it. It must be done.

Japan aligns Siam. US entry roll is 10. The two Siamese cruisers are based at Bangkok.

Japan land
Germany land
Italy combined

The Italian cruiser Taranto hits the 4 box of the Western Med. Aboard is the 1st Infantry Division. It is crowded on the decks.

Il Duce had dreamed that Malta was undefended. But no. It is crowded there too.

Japanese Nell bombers flying out of Canton inflict significant damage on the Chinese Nationalist controlled factories of Kweiyang. Chiang's oil dump is out of range, for now.

In Poland, the Luftwaffe launches two ground strikes.

The early morning sunshine in Lodz is darkened by formations of Heinkel 111s.

They hit one of their targets.

professorhex -> RE: New AAR Keith Vs Ian (2/6/2017 4:54:29 PM)

Stuka Ju87Bs scream into action over Warsaw.

Both targets are hit, including the Rydz HQ.

Three German attacks in Poland.

Keith tells me he'll choose assault for the cities under attack this impulse.

professorhex -> RE: New AAR Keith Vs Ian (2/6/2017 5:56:17 PM)

In China, Umezu's Army Group cannot resist an assault against the militia defending the industrial city Changsha.

D3A1 bombers from Nanking and Ki32s from Nanchang provide unopposed ground support.

professorhex -> RE: New AAR Keith Vs Ian (2/6/2017 5:57:44 PM)

Changsha falls, but a roll of 3 leaves Umezu's forces disorganised and destroys a Japanese infantry division. Messy.

In Poland, Katowice falls and is occupied by LXXIII Garrison.

Poznan falls to von Rundstedt's Army Group, leaving the route to Lodz and Warsaw open.

professorhex -> RE: New AAR Keith Vs Ian (2/6/2017 6:02:18 PM)

A blitz attack north of the Vistula also succeeds. The breakthrough result allows von Bock's panzer corps to cross the river north of Lodz.

professorhex -> RE: New AAR Keith Vs Ian (2/6/2017 6:03:49 PM)

The Germans rebase Bf109E2 to von Bock's Army Group.

The Commonwealth and France declare war on Germany. There is mild disapproval in the USA (-1 chit).

Germany and the British Commonwealth call out their reserves.



keith63 -> RE: New AAR Keith Vs Ian (2/6/2017 7:18:40 PM)

As the war rages across Poland, British bombers raze fire and brimstone on Kiel where sits the Kreigsmarine. Nit the results that were hoped for.

French bombers head for the lush unsuspecting factories at Stuttgart. German loses 1 bp.

AXIS IMPULSE #3 SEPT/OCT 1939

Unperturbed by a poor weather roll of 9 and rain across Mitteleuropa, the Fuehrer appears before the Reichstag to explain more details of his dream. The Danes are really Germans, he says. Therefore Germany is now at war with Denmark. Everybody stands up cheering, saluting wildly.

The US public is unhappy. A roll of 1 gives them another chit, entry level 17 now. But this sabre-rattling by the criminal imperialist Roosevelt cabal will not deter Germany.

Denmark aligns to the Commonwealth. This time half the Danish ships set up in Iceland.

Germany land, Italy pass, Japan naval.

Despite the rain, He115cs take advantage of surprise to port attack the Danish ships at Frederikshaven.
