The French airforce send their MS 406 from northwest of Paris to intercept the Stukas harassing the French corps southwest of Brussels. Orders are to shoot down the bombers and then return to the same airfields northwest of Paris.

2:1+4 and the French appear to have the choice?? What do the French wish to do?

Italy

2:1+1 and the French choose Assault

Japan

7:1+1 and I choose Assault on behalf of the Chinese as otherwise it would be an automatic attack



GeneralAdvance -> RE: News From the Front - 4 player game (3/20/2020 5:18:17 PM)

I have arm and a-t and i guess you just have two arm. The mech doesnt help I think.

Land Combat:
Germany

The fractionals fail (547 thrown) and a 6(8) is thrown. The Germans lose a unit and are all disorganised. The French lose 2 units. I assume the armour survives.

The Soviet Union demands security for Leningrad, and therefore demands the Finnish Borderlands. Will Germany pressure Finland to accept the claim? Or will a war break out between the two nations?

"Fill your boots" replied Adolf, "I made a pact and, as everyone knows, I am 100% a man of my word. Finland is in the Soviet sphere of influence so feel free to do as you will".

The Soviet Union send a note to Germany.

Thank you. Much appreciated. May our future endeavours be successful

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

No port strikes. No naval air. No naval movement. No strategic bombing.

CW ground strike the German armour south-east of Brussels. Germany has lots of fighters that can intercept. See picture. CW has one fighter that can aid the bomber. Will Germany intercept the ground strike?

If Germany does not intercept, will the AA fire on the bomber?

Is there no US Entry roll for this?



warspite1 -> RE: News From the Front - 4 player game (3/21/2020 9:56:22 AM)

The Germans should have a 6-quality fighter that can intercept please.

For what?

For claiming the Finnish borderlands? No, no roll if the claim is allowed. However, if the claim is denied it is a roll for a Soviet DOW on Finland.

Indeed. CW send up their FTR2.

That didn't go so well for RAF.

I returned the German FTR2 from where it came. Can change it if you so desire.

I never remember, sometimes I think there is a throw for Eastern Poland or the Baltics? so why would it be different for Finland? Or Bessarabia? But then, I'm easily confused.
