Orm -> RE: News From the Front - 4 player game (3/14/2020 6:12:25 AM)

Losses for Mar/Apr 1940. The Allied merchant marine took a serious hit (6-7% of total CPs available to the Allies). [:(]

To my three Swedish opponents; are you intending to switch to the new hot patch?



Orm -> RE: News From the Front - 4 player game (3/14/2020 10:31:59 AM)

We will switch if you switch. It easy enough for me, and peskpesk. However, there is some difficulty for GeneralAdvance, but I am sure we will solve it eventually. [:)]

Allies end of turn:

Preliminary planning:
CW - 16 BPs. (CW lost 2 BPs in production due to CP losses)

USA - 11 BPs.
USSR - 14 BPs.
China - 7 BPs.

Stay at sea:
The following units stay at sea.

China:
All units are reorganized for 0 oil (0.4).

Breakdown: -

Prod plan Final:
zzzz

Note 1: The Belgian MIL wasn't removed during conquest. This needs to be fixed somehow. It is weak so maybe it will work itself out?
Note 2: Japan placed one GARR and one INF in Fukuoka (and the CL). No MECH to place.
Note 3: CW is still owed one oil in UK.

When I saw that Axis rolled a 2 I thought that it would be likely that Allies won. Stupid me. That, of course, guaranteed that the Allied roll was a one. [:D]

In line with conversations yesterday, I've upgraded to 3.1.0.2

May/Jun 1940
Impulse: 1 (Axis)

Declarations of War and Alignments: None

Japan: Land
Germany: Land
Italy: Land

Port Attack: None
Naval Air: None

Strategic Bombing: None
Ground Stike:
Italy

An SM.79 strikes at the French northwest of Nice

Germany

Two Stukas fly against the French in the Ardennes and the Belgian hex northwest.

Japan

A Val and an Ethelbert fly against Mao


Do the French wish to fly? The German have the aircraft you can see plus 2 x 5-strength and 1 x 4-strength that can reach either hex.

GeneralAdvance -> RE: News From the Front - 4 player game (3/15/2020 8:00:30 AM)

The French airforce send their elite fighters from northeast of Paris to intercept the Stukas trying to bomb the French units dug in southwest of Brussels. Their orders are to shoot down the Stukas and then return to airfields northwest of Paris. The rest of the French airforce stand by for Blitzen.

May/Jun 1940
Impulse: 1 (Axis)

Ground Strike (Air to Air Combat Subphase)

The Germans bring in a Bf-109 unit in response. I will do both rolls together as the orders are clear - to stop the stukas.

Round 1

Allied - 9 (AC) - the stuka is cleared
Axis - 14 (DA) - the French fighter is aborted

Rail Movement: None
Land Movement:
Italy

The Italians in East Africa take Berbera and attempt to fall back on Asmara. While in northwest Italy they tool about a bit on the border.

Germany

Ditto for the Germans, a bit of tooling but nothing more.

Japan

The Japanese move some stragglers up from the rear area and moves some forces around Yenan.

Land Combat:
Japan

One attack is announced against the Chinese Nationalist cavalry in the mountains (see picture above before movement for location). The odds are 22:4 or 5:1. No aircraft. What table do the Chinese wish to use?



Orm -> RE: News From the Front - 4 player game (3/15/2020 9:23:08 AM)

China selects assault.

No declarations of war.

Land: France, China
Combined: USA, USSR
Naval: CW

No port strikes. No naval air.

Naval Movement:

USSR:
BB -> Baltic Sea 3-box

CW:
Liner + MIL (Australia) -> Red Sea
TRS + NAV2 (Liverpool) -> CSV 0-box
TRS (Algiers) -> Red Sea
TRS (Toulon) -> CVB
CP (Gibraltar) -> East MEd
5 x BB -> North Sea 3-box
4 x BB + 3 x CA -> East Med 3-box
2 x SUB (Malta) -> Italian Coast
Edit: Plenty of convoy escorts leave port.

CW initiates combat in the Italian Coast. Will Germany, or Italy reinforce the sea area? They have one FTR3, one FTR2, and one NAV2, available.

Orm -> RE: News From the Front - 4 player game (3/15/2020 3:25:20 PM)

No strategic bombing.

One LND2 ground strikes the German units in Liege. Germany can intercept with plenty of units. CW has only one 3-strength FTR2 available for counter-interception. Will any German fighters fly? If not, will the AA fire on the bomber?

The British fighter accomplish little, except keeping the bombers alive. And that ain't to bad. The British return to base.

Where will the German fighter land?
