Germany rebases Do-172's from Hamburg closer to the front in support because of disorganized air units after ground support missions. They also move Bf-109's further north in support.

Italy chooses not to rebase.

Meanwhile Japan realizes that it's Ki-27 Nates are out of supply and move from Lake Chaoyang closer to the port of Haichow.

I'll stop here for now so that I can research the next phase that's popped up, Air Reorganization.



Courtenay -> RE: Hard Knocks: Chicharito19's trying to learn, a Global Campaign experience (1/22/2020 1:22:04 PM)

The problem is that you moved out of supply units. Doing so disorganizes them. (If a unit has a dot on the upper right, they are out of supply.) Even if it wasn't disorganized, an out of supply unit can not attack.

An organized out of supply unit defends normally, but a disorganized out of supply unit defends with a strength of one, unless it is a white print unit, in which case it defends with a strength of three. In the picture above the Japanese 20th Inf and the Osaka MIL are white print. The Seoul MIL is not white print, even though its unit symbol has a white background, its combat values and unit identifiers are black.

The absolutely critical function of headquarters units is to put your units in supply. HQ units have nice combat values, and they can help in a combat, and they can reorganize units, but all of those functions are secondary to keeping your units in supply.

@Courtenay

What’s concerning for me is that I remember using the info you just shared when I played Barbarossa. But since I had concentrated on Guadalcanal before going Global, i find that I didn’t remember.

Courtenay -> RE: Hard Knocks: Chicharito19's trying to learn, a Global Campaign experience (1/22/2020 6:34:42 PM)

There is a lot of stuff to remember. That is why you are doing this practice game. I suspect you will never forget this rule again, although I do predict that occasionally you won't notice a unit is out of supply before you move it. (The reason why I make that prediction is that I think it is true of ALL players, certainly including me. That is what the UNDO function is for.)



Chicharito19 -> RE: Hard Knocks: Chicharito19's trying to learn, a Global Campaign experience (1/22/2020 9:37:23 PM)

Sadly I didn’t notice until after it was too late to undo. I could have just gone back to an autosave, but I left it as is.

Chicharito19 -> RE: Hard Knocks: Chicharito19's trying to learn, a Global Campaign experience (1/23/2020 6:31:07 AM)

German Ju-52's, stationed just north of the Oder river have patiently waited to assist have been sent over to the front lines where their reorg value of 1 can be used to reorganized the XI Mot (7-4) unit that was disorganized in their earlier attack. 109's provide additional security. In the process both of the air units are disorganized. I think that's ok for now as I think that Germany has pretty much achieved air superiority.

During the HQ Reorganization phase von Rundstedt chooses not to reorganized the currently disorganized Bf 110's to his west. This is just in case his resources are needed later in the turn.

As anticipated both the CW and France have declared war on Germany.

This France DOW elicits a US entry roll. The roll for US Entry of 6 further causes a chit removal.

quote:

ORIGINAL: brian brian

For the US Entry Chit system, a value of (10) or higher for an event means one chit is automatically generated.

A value of (12) means one chit for sure, and a 2nd chit on a die roll of 1 or 2.

A (7) means a single chit is generated on a die roll of 1-7.

A (-9) means a chit is lost from a US Entry Pool on a roll of 1-9.



Because I still get confused on US Entry Actions I trust but verify the result. Yes here we go...lets see; ah yes #40. Roll of 6 on a -9. Yep remove a chit.

Be aware of the surprise rules. The French and English have the benefits of surprise against the Germans this impulse. This is quite ahistorical, but it is the rule.



Chicharito19 -> RE: Hard Knocks: Chicharito19's trying to learn, a Global Campaign experience (1/24/2020 12:34:26 AM)

Well, I ain't afraid of a little surprise...

S/O 1939 Allied #2

France – chooses a naval action

USSR and China decline naval air.

England foregoes naval air. France also foregoes naval air. The United States foregoes naval air.



Chicharito19 -> RE: Hard Knocks: Chicharito19's trying to learn, a Global Campaign experience (1/30/2020 4:35:43 AM)

The United States begins to ferry transports and a division to Hawaii by way of the Panama Canal. They end up in the Mexican Coast Box.

CW preps for sending the Gort HQ and the XIV Motor Corps over to France using the Queen Elizabeth. CW adds a couple of cruisers in the North Sea box just in case.

France decides to send a submarine snooping around the Baltic Sea. She also sends 2 cruisers out to both the Eastern and Western Mediterranean Sea.

Lookie here the French submarine may have found something....

Nope, nothing there after all. Maybe it was a mirage.(pun intended)

Chicharito19 -> RE: Hard Knocks: Chicharito19's trying to learn, a Global Campaign experience (1/30/2020 4:42:57 AM)

France and CW decide to not do any strategic bombing. Similarly they decline carpet bombing. Neither performs any ground strike.

Nationalist China does not perform a ground strike.

No one utilizes rail movement at this time.

USSR makes no land movements



Chicharito19 -> RE: Hard Knocks: Chicharito19's trying to learn, a Global Campaign experience (1/30/2020 4:44:21 AM)

Due to Japan's earlier blunder of disorganizing their potential attacking units, Nationalist China move the 13th Res and the 6th Infantry to bolster Chengchow's defense.

The HMS Terror is one of the all-time best warship names. I just wish that it was a KGV class warship.



Chicharito19 -> RE: Hard Knocks: Chicharito19's trying to learn, a Global Campaign experience (1/30/2020 4:47:01 AM)

In the south Nationalist China moves on Canton....later realized again that there really is nothing they can do here as they wouldn't have any kind of attack. Oh well, it looked good in my mind until I realized that the rivers halved their attack strengths anyway. Or actually it looks like more than half?

Yeah, I saw that and loved it. So I couldn't help but to use it. "Welcome to the TerrorDome" - Public Enemy circa 1990



Chicharito19 -> RE: Hard Knocks: Chicharito19's trying to learn, a Global Campaign experience (1/30/2020 4:50:28 AM)

CW moves 4.5 inch arty to Harwich. I suppose I can eventually move that to France.

USA makes no land movements



Chicharito19 -> RE: Hard Knocks: Chicharito19's trying to learn, a Global Campaign experience (1/30/2020 4:52:20 AM)

Gort HQ and the XIV Mot Corps debark at Calais.

The CW then sends Hurricanes to Boulogne.

That's it for now. Sorry I've not posted in a few days. Real life concerns.
