No DoW or alignments.

Naval: US
Land: China
Combined: CW, USSR

US sends CP's from Brisbane to Bismarck Sea and Truk. Wasp heads from Pearl to San Diego. US fleet except for 3 CL's leaves Pearl for Solomons 2-box. It includes Nimitz loaded on AMPH. They are joined by CA from San Diego loaded with MAR Div. CV, BB, 3 CA and 2 TRANS (MAR and MIL loaded) sail to Christmas Is. 1-box.

CW sends 2 CA to East Indian Ocean. Do the Jap subs wish to intercept?

warspite1 -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (1/25/2020 5:30:32 PM)

Yes please



AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (1/25/2020 5:47:42 PM)

The intercept fails on a 7. The two CA's stay in the 1-box. The Queens load the MIL in Aukland and sail to East Indian Ocean. Intercept?



warspite1 -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (1/25/2020 6:00:50 PM)

Yes please



AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (1/25/2020 11:32:55 PM)

On a 9, the intercept fails. The Queens stop in the 1-box.

On the other side of the world, AMPH at Norflok loads INF and heads to North Atlantic 2-box with 2 CL's. 4 TRANS from various ports in England sail to East Coast 0-box and load ARM HQ, MECH, MOT and INF.

Three areas available for naval combat.

AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (1/26/2020 10:32:33 AM)

First up, China Sea. US sub initiates. Do the Japanese want to add the A6M5 at Kobe?

Warspite1 doesn't appear to be around. To move this on, I'll assume 'no' as there is already air present and this being a fighter won't add anything to the combat.

Searches: Allies 7, Axis 4. No combat.

Second, South China Sea. Spitfires do some scouting patrols. Do the Japanese want to add any air? They Have A6M2's at Bangkok and Singora that can reach 3-box and Ki-27 in China to the 0-box.



warspite1 -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (1/26/2020 10:52:51 AM)

I'm around. I agree with the comment on China Sea. I will look at the South China Sea and revert shortly.

Edit: The fighter in Bangkok flies to the 0-box please - and the fighter in Singora to the highest box it can reach.



AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (1/26/2020 11:19:37 AM)

Allies commit the Dutch sub.

Searches: Allies 6, Axis 10. No combat.

Finally, East Indian Ocean. The Allies decline but the Japanese can initiate if they wish?

warspite1 -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (1/26/2020 11:24:38 AM)

Yes please - although I thought they were both disorganised - or doesn't it count if one tried to intercept this turn?



AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (1/26/2020 12:10:59 PM)

The earlier disorganisation for the intercept counts.

Searches: Axis 6, Allies 7. No combat.

No air missions.

CW rails INF Div from Addis Ababa to Djibouti.

TERR in Eritrea moves closer to the port.

Chinese cautiously continue eastwards. ChiComms also move some units east, retaking Nanyang in the process.

Nov/Dec 1942
Impulse: 7 (Axis)

Rail Movement: None
Land Movement:
Japan

There is a general pull back everywhere

Invasions:
Japan

Two attempts are made:

Tarakan and east of Batavia

The odds are automatic without the notional and so I say yes to both. The attack on Tarakan remains automatic.

I try and maximise shore bombardment and add as many bombers as I can and this takes the attack to 3:1+1

I assume the assault table?

Looking at the tables I assume assault as there is no reason not to.

The throw is a 6 - the Japanese lose a unit and the remainder are disorganised.

I remember being very careful to make sure I set them to move in Prelim Production. Who knows why they haven't. Frustrating!!!

N/D 42 Allies 7

No DoW or alignments.

All pass except for CW: Naval.

Spitfire and Hurricane from Gib' fly to West Med 2 and 1-boxes respectively.

Courageous, Glorious and Duke of York sail from Plymouth to Gib'. Escorts sail to the St. Vincent 1 and 4-boxes from Gib. TRANS at Gib' loads Belgium MIL and sails to Cagliari. AMPH at Plymouth loads Gort and sails to Gib'. Two TRANS leave Gib' for Biscay 1-box and load Spitfire and Hurricane from UK. They are joined by 2 BB from Plymouth. A couple of escorts go to the 0-box. Finally, the Dutch TRANS at Balikpapan makes a run for it. I presume the Japanese will want to intercept? What to disorganise?

Buffalo to the 0-box and Halifax flying extended range should go to 3-box, thanks.

N/D 42 Allies 19

No DoW or alignments.

Land: China
Combined. The rest.

CW subs leave Malta and head to Bay of Bengal 0-box and Red Sea 2-box. AMPH in Gib' loads Gort and sails to West Med 2-box.

CL sails from Pearl to Marianas 4-box and loads INF Div from Kwajalein. TRANS in Christmas Is sail MIL to TRUK and MAR to Kwajalein.

The Allies decline naval combat in East Indian Ocean and West Med.

Lancasters from Sardinia launch a raid against Naples. Mosquito's from Malta provide escort. The Italians could scramble two fighters to intercept if they wish?

Freccia in the rear please.



AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (1/26/2020 7:14:52 PM)

Thought I'd better check. It's what I would have done.

The raid proves a disaster for the Allies. I aborted the Falco to Salerno. Hope that's alright.

warspite1 -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (1/26/2020 7:17:01 PM)

Yeah that's fine thank-you. Whence they came - but if you've put the Freccia in Naples that's okay.
