Thanks Send in the Hampden, Blenheim and Whitley’s escorted by the 3 land based fighters, thanks.

Whitley as front bomber.

The German also bring in 3 fighters and the forces line up:

Allied: 11 (DC) - The German player decides which Axis bomber to clear through and picks the Ju-88A1
Axis: 15 (AA) - The German player decides to abort the front fighter or bomber. The Spitfire is chosen

Where do the CW want this to land? Shall we say "from whence it came" for the whole game - unless otherwise specified going forward?

Edit: I can't see AllenK on the forum so in the interests of moving the game along I will return from whence it came. That hex is in no danger of being overrun - or even attacked - this turn so there is no danger for the CW in doing so.

Air to Air Combat: Round 2

Allied 13 (AC) - The CW decide which Axis bomber to clear through. There is no real difference in quality so I put through the one with slightly less good factors (does not affect this land battle)
Axis: 11 (DC) - The CW decide which of its bombers to clear through. I chose the Hampden as it has better Strat factors (no difference to this battle from the Belenheim)

A partisan army is raised in Yugoslavia and occupies the port of Dubrovnik.

USSR puts its marker to defence and moves a marker from offence to defence.

US puts its chit in the Ja pool. No entry actions are chosen.




AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (3/3/2019 3:47:56 PM)

CW and France keep various escorts plus the subs in the Italian Coast at sea.

Oil Use

CW reorgs all for 3.25 points (oil spent from Rangoon and Port of Spain).

France reorgs all for 1.25 using an oil from St Nazaire.

USSR reorgs Zhukov for 1 oil point.



warspite1 -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (3/3/2019 4:01:52 PM)

AllenK - orders now finalised. CARE: I had trouble with the Oil that was sent to Italy and Japan. When I got to production each country had one build point less even though in each case this was marked as for production. Let me know if you have any issues.

EDIT: I don't know if this from RAC has anything to do with it but RAC states "Resource points and build points become owned by the receiving major power during the production phase". Could this mean that Oil sent in a trade agreement has to be used as Oil?

The other way around. Oil sent as a trade agreement can be used for production or saved, but can not be used to reorganize units. Indeed, even oil received from a cooperating major power could not be used for reorganization, because if it were used for reorganization, it doesn't exist during the production step, and could not be traded; some other oil point must be traded in its place, if another oil point that can be traded exists.

Thanks - might be a bug then.... [:(]

Japan might still be sending a BP to USA?

My Japanese routinely forget that one.

But the planning document makes clear that the Italians have 6 BP and Japan 14 BP. Only when it gets to Production do those points disappear.

Let's see if AllenK can sort it.



AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (3/3/2019 7:23:51 PM)

I had problems with the traded oil sent to Japan. The game kept overwriting my (Warspite1's) orders, resulting in less BP's than should have been available. I got around it after much trial and error by saving the two US oils and sending the two NEI oils to production. Net effect was the same as ordered.

CW scraps the Hurricane 1.

Production

China 3
INF Div
CAV Div

CW 13
FTR-2 x3
Pilot x2
MIL

France 12

MTN

MECH Div

Belgium is conquered and the government relocates to the Congo. German forces capture the partially completed cruiser Artevelde. Warspite1 appears to be offline, so I assign the CA to Germany.

Reinforcements

China places an INF in Kweiyang.

CW puts a pilot in the land based Gladiators and sends them to Cardiff. CA goes to Plymouth and MIL to Bombay. There appears to be a bug as the game says the Batavia MIL can't be deployed despite the hex being empty and Dutch controlled.

France puts a GARR in Paris and FTR to Rouen.

US assigns a pilot to F4F-3 and loads onto Bearne.

USSR assigns a pilot to I-17's and bases at Vitebsk. INF to Minsk. ARM to Kiev.

Italian CR.32 had to go to Genoa, rather than La Spezia.

Initiative: Axis 9, Allies 7. The Allies try a re-roll but with Axis 4 and Allies 2, the initiative remains with the Axis, who decide to go first.

The weather turns fine everywhere.
