J/F 41 Allies 3

No DoW or alignments.

Land: France, China.
Combined: The rest.

TRANS with Wavell sails from Biscay to Malta. Repulse and 5 CA/CL's sails from Alex to Red Sea 3-box.

Montreal MIL rails to Halifax.

The Soviets move some armour up to the Rumanian border and moves an INF on the Northern front. The ChiComm CAV Div retakes Taiyuan and continues east into the mountains.

The Chinese make some minor adjustments.

Declarations of War and Alignments:
Germany

The Germans align Romania. Congress agree to hold a meeting to discuss whether or not to hold a meeting to discuss this development. But the meeting never takes place, let alone the meeting (a 7 is thrown).

I lost the original post when the plug got pulled out of the internet router just as I was sending it.

From memory.

J/F 41 Allies 9

No DoW or alignments.

Land: CW, France
Combined: The rest.

France sends TRANS to Cape Verde 0-box.

US sails Bearne from San Diego to Caribbean Sea and pulls a couple of CP's back to San Diego.

The Chinese move the CAV Div 1 hex SW, becoming disorganised in the process. They continue tinkering with the positions in the south.

AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (3/24/2019 12:42:29 PM)

CW moves INF, MIL and AT gun westwards in Egypt. 2nd INF Div moves inland in Etheopia, while to 2 units in Berbera move 1 hex westwards.

AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (3/24/2019 12:55:40 PM)

The French shuffle 3 units to get Billotte back out of the front line position occupied last impulse.

The Soviets rebase a couple of aircraft in the north.

CW rebases Blenheim from Malta to Alex'.

Turn ends on a 1 (less than 4 needed).

No partisans appear.

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

Where do the Germans wish to place theirs?




warspite1 -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (3/24/2019 1:03:14 PM)

Two Offensive please



AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (3/24/2019 1:18:40 PM)

US puts its marker to the Ja pool.

Congress pass a bill allowing war materials to be lent to China. The Japanese shrug their shoulders (9 rolled). The Chinese are also sent technical advisers to enable them to start building aircraft. This provokes a raised eyebrow (8 rolled).

Emboldened by the lack of diplomatic consequences for its actions, the US sends occupation forces to Greenland and Iceland. This upsets the Germans and Italians (5 rolled, 1 marker to tension).

AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (3/24/2019 4:37:42 PM)

When I followed the initial version, with Prague as location for saving BP's, Prague didn't come up so I chose Breslau. Hope this is okay, rather than Leipzig?

warspite1

I have no air cover in Breslau (I don't think) so so long as you don't strat bomb it then that is fine.

I think we are playing the in-house interception rule, so there's nothing that has the range to avoid your land fighters.

Mar/Apr 1941
Impulse: 1 (Axis)

Declarations of War and Alignments: None

Ground Strike:
Germany

The Germans send 3 Stukas and a Ju-88 at the French front line

Italy

The Italians try the Alps again

Japan

The Japanese fly to Nanning and units southeast of Chihkiang

So its the Chinese first. They have a 3-strength fighter that can intercept while the Japanese have 2 x 5 FTR's.

What do the Chinese want to do?

1. 1 x 6 and 1 x 5
2. Same
3 and 4 - just the aircraft you can see.

What do the French want to do?

Italy

The Italians move about a bit in eastern Italy and Yugoslavia to no great purpose.

Japan

Forces continue to move on Nanning while in the north the Japanese hope to kill off a Communist Division

Germany

German forces in Belgium/France adjust their positions.



warspite1 -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (3/24/2019 7:57:44 PM)

Mar/Apr 1941
Impulse: 1 (Axis)

Land Combat:
Japan

Two attacks are announced - against Nanning and against the division in the mountains.

Germany

The Germans target the Alps again and the hex west of the Ardennes

The odds are as seen do the French want to bring in HQ Support?


[image]local://upfiles/28156/69A1BE77BF1E4F1DB2784AB3D13DC324.jpg[/image]



AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (3/24/2019 8:03:11 PM)

Yes please.



warspite1 -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (3/24/2019 8:09:23 PM)

Mar/Apr 1941
Impulse: 1 (Axis)

Land Combat (cont):

The Germans bring in two bombers (5 points)

There are no aircraft brought to the Alps and three bombers fly in China (but can't be intercepted).

The Germans have two x 6 and a 5 they can bring in in addition to what you can see.

In the Alps you have two bombers (current odds 19.5:10 2:1) and the Italians have 1 x 4 and 2 x 3 fighters.

What do the French want to do?
