Germany gets to have the experience of fighting a three-front war in the spring and summer. Good thing two of the fronts are against Poland and Yugoslavia. Too bad about those mountains, though.

AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (2/3/2019 12:19:00 PM)
M/A 40 Allies 10. No DoW or alignments. The Allies all pass for a 60% chance to end the turn. It does on a 4. No partisans. Where do the Germans wish to place their chits?

warspite1 -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (2/3/2019 12:25:24 PM)
The Germans will have one of each please.

Soviets put a marker to defence. US puts a marker in GE/IT pool. No options chosen.

May/Jun 1940 Impulse: 1 (Axis) Declarations of War/ Alignments: The Germans declare war on the Netherlands. The roll is a 7 (high level discussion takes place in Washington "so where is the Netherlands?" but no answer is forthcoming. Congress lets this slide). Where do the Dutch set up and who are they aligned to? Japan: Land Germany: Land Italy: Combined Port Attack: None Naval Air: None Naval Movement: Italy 1. Taranto moves back to La Spezia Strategic Bombing: None Ground Strike: Japan 1. A Val aims for Changsha Germany 1. A Stuka heads to Lodz The German attack failed and the Japanese obtained a 50% result. [image]local://upfiles/28156/C390AD6A56334B628ECEB6705746095B.jpg[/image]

Align to CW TERR to Palembang. 4 CP, Sub and TRANS to Batavia. 4 CP to Dutch Guyana INF to Amsterdam with 3 6 range CA/CL's and 2 CP. Two 5 range CA's rest to Rotterdam. Thanks

May/Jun 1940 Impulse: 1 (Axis) Rail Movement: None Land Movement: Italy 1. Whoops I went to move the 5-3 INF from Genoa to La Spezia and realised I'd moved Taranto to Leghorn. Whoops! 2. The 3rd Julia Division heads north. Germany The Germans shape up to attack in Poland Holland and Yugoslavia. Japan The Japanese Southern Area Army continue to invest Changsha, while Yamamoto decides to press on west. While this is going on the 3rd Infantry Division take Hengyang. Congress appears more interest in the Superbowl and decides to review things in the morning. Perhaps. Air Transport: None Paradrop: Germany Karl Student and his men are ordered to Rotterdam. Land Combat: Germany The -1 dice on Lodz makes this a no-no. Two attacks are announced. Against Amsterdam and against Rotterdam. Japan An attack is declared against Changsha.

What really happened was Father Coghlin had Charles Lindbergh on to his radio programme where they each declared this to be "Fake News" and really only a minor controversy over the living quarters of the deposed Kaiser. Nothing to see here, move along.

May/Jun 1940 Impulse: 1 (Axis) I make a bit of a boo boo with the Para's. The CW add the notional (which stops it being an Automatic attack). I'm asked about CAP for the Chinese again. Does anyone know why this is being offered or am I going mad and we always use it? Thanks. [image]local://upfiles/28156/6CC74D98947843F28D1EB6C7B11465DD.jpg[/image]

AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (2/3/2019 4:36:44 PM)
You might have it switched on. In the interface there is the option to skip the CAP phase.

May/Jun 1940 Impulse: 1 (Axis) Land Combat: (Cont) Germany The Luftwaffe bring in a bomber to each of the two Dutch hexes. The main attack should be enough with fractionals now. Japan The Japanese do not fly. They are only one point off 4:1 so the chances of increasing to 5:1 is pretty remote. Edit: Oh plop. Another mistake. I forgot the aircraft are doubled on surprise. That's a bit of a waste of a Stuka. And so to the combat itself. I'll take in the order that the program throws up: Japan This is a 3:1+1 and almost certainly 4:1+1 after fractionals. I assume Assault on the basis there is no retreat path. [image]local://upfiles/28156/D334A59AA3734554A920A4B9C157D25E.jpg[/image]

Yes, assault please for all three.

May/Jun 1940 Impulse: 1 (Axis) Land Combat: (Cont) Japan The Japanese fractional throw failed. The roll was 4(5) and its one loss each. All Japanese are disorganised and the Japanese lose their Engineer. I assume the Chinese lose the MIL. [image]local://upfiles/28156/0D5E200ABEF241F881D99A61CE789F98.jpg[/image]

AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (2/3/2019 4:55:34 PM)
Yes thanks

May/Jun 1940 Impulse: 1 (Axis) Land Combat: Germany Naval Overrun sub-phase: The Dutch have 1 CP and two light cruisers that escaped - where do they go? The Germans get a CP.

AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (2/3/2019 5:05:26 PM)
One of the East Coast ports is fine.

warspite1 -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (2/3/2019 5:08:32 PM)
May/Jun 1940 Impulse: 1 (Axis) Land Combat: (cont) Germany And so to the final attack. This is a 7:1+2 Assault on Rotterdam. The roll is a 7(9). One CL is destroyed, the other escapes to Hull to join her mates. ...and having done so, the game gets stuck [:@] [image]local://upfiles/28156/AD842E1F67CA434B8045D21FE22C102D.jpg[/image]
