M/J 40 Allies 10

No DoW or alignments

Land: China
Naval: France, CW
Combined: US, USSR.

The French send 4 CA/CL's from Beruit to East Med 3-box. They are joined by 3 more from Marseilles. 2 CA's sail to West Med 4-box.

The RN sends 4 CA from Aden and 4 from Gib' to East Med 3-box. They are joined by the Repulse from Alex'. 2 CP's sail from Gib' to the East Med 0-box. 2 CL's from Alex join them. A CP sails from Bombay to Suez.

To save time, I declined intercepts as fairly obvious what was happening.

The RN initiates searching with one of the CL's in the 0-box. The forces fail to find each other (Allies 5, Axis 6).

No air missions.

The Communists rearrange their defences.

The Nationalists move 17th INF 1 hex west back towards Kweilin, becoming disorganised in the process. 8th INF moves 1 hex SE from Chihkiang.

No combat, rebases or reorgs.

Turn continues on an 8 (less than 5).

Weather turns inclement.

When I get to it, where do the Germans wish to place their pact markers?

USSR puts marker to defence.

US puts a chit in the Ja pool. An embargo on strategic materials to Japan is called. It's met with some hostility in Japan (5 rolled, 1 chit to tension pool).

CW keeps the CV/BB's in the North Sea and various escorts in the Atlantic. The French keep various escorts out in the Med. Ships in East Med go to Alex, those in West Med to Gib. Queens take Cape Town MIL to Singapore.

Oil use.

US - 0 (0.4 to reorg all).
CW - 4 (4.1 to reorg all).
France - 1 (0.75 to reorg all)
USSR - 1 (0.6 to reorg all)

CW scraps 4 destroyed CL's.





AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (2/16/2019 3:21:25 PM)

Not enough BP's for the German shopping list. It's short by 2. Did you want to build 2 pilots instead or drop something else?

Edit: Never mind. Gearing limits only allow 2 pilots. I've gone with that.




AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (2/16/2019 4:10:08 PM)

CW - Belgium MIL tucks into the vacant hex behind Brussels. MILS to Auckland and Montreal. Beaufighter to Southampton, Whitley to Southampton. CP to Liverpool. CP to Alex. INF and FTR to Calcutta.

US sets up a trade agreement for 1 resource to China.

Intiative - Axis 3, Allies 2 (but with +1 modifier). Allies win initiative but decide not to go first.

Weather is mostly fine.

I quite like this view of a tension chit, never thought about it that way.

Impulse: 1 (Axis)


Declaration of War and Alignments: None, although the Japanese apply diplomatic pressure on the CW to close the Burma Road. The US are not interested (8 thrown).

Japan: Combined
Germany: Land
Italy: Land

Port Attack: None
Naval Air: None

Naval Movement:
Japan

1. The 1st Motorised Army heads for Pakhoi
2. Two empty TRS head home.

Strategic Bombing: None
Ground Strike:

1 and 2. A Ju-87B and He111-H3 head for Warsaw

That's interesting. The program allowed me to put 1 die roll in only...

I'll re-start the turn and try again.

AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (2/16/2019 6:35:42 PM)

It may be because having disorganised the only organised unit with the first roll, there is nothing left that can be targeted.




warspite1 -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (2/16/2019 6:38:20 PM)

Looks like upgrading to 3.9.5 was a mistake....

Same result. Only one unit should be disorganised - but both are - and the program didn't even bother recording the last 3 throws.

AllenK can you have a go using your save please in case mine is corrupted in some way? Thanks.

Edit: Just seen your post - are you saying one unit was disorganised already? How come?




AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (2/16/2019 6:40:35 PM)

I think it's working fine. The HQ was previously disorganised. I haven't been able to reorganise it as there is no path to an oil source.




warspite1 -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (2/16/2019 6:43:30 PM)

Oh okay - didn't realise that.

Jul/Aug 1940
Impulse: 1 (Axis)


Rail Movement: None
Land Movement:
Japan

The Southern Area Army continuous southwest

Germany

The German Army in the East crowd around Warsaw. The Germans in Austria and in Holland move around a bit.

Italy

In Albania the 3rd Julia Division takes Skopje and Graziani moves north. On the Franco-Italian border the army prepares to launch an attack.

Air Transport: None
Paradrop: None

Land Combat:
Germany

An attack on Warsaw is announced

Italy

An attack on the Swiss border is announced. Odds are 11.5:6 or 2:1 before aircraft.

There are no aircraft at Warsaw but to the southwest the Italians bring in a fighter and two bombers. The French can reach with the units shown. One fighter (also shown) is available to the Italians on intercept.

What do the French want to do?

AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (2/16/2019 6:45:32 PM)

I've just checked on my version and it does the same. Only 1 roll.




AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (2/16/2019 7:08:50 PM)

Send the LND escorted by the MS 406, thanks.

warspite1 -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (2/16/2019 7:31:02 PM)

Allied: A 15 is rolled (AA) do you want to abort the fighter or bomber?

Right I can't save the game at this point and AllenK doesn't appear to be on line. So I will abort the bomber.

Axis: An 11 is rolled (DC) which clears the French bomber through.




AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (2/16/2019 8:47:40 PM)

Good choice, thanks.

Stay for another round.
