Renown and Repulse maybe? Think the rear one is Repulse.

Italy: Land

Naval Air: None

Strategic Bombing: None
Ground Strike:
Italy

The Ba-65 flies to the mountains northwest of Nice

Two stukas fly to Metz. The only Axis aircraft that can intercept are shown in the picture. What do the French wish to do?

GeneralAdvance -> RE: News From the Front - 4 player game (3/29/2020 12:47:04 PM)

The French airforce send their D520S to intercept with orders to shoot down Stukas and then return to southwest of where they started. The stories of the fighting above Strasbourg have bolstered their morale significantly. [:)]



warspite1 -> RE: News From the Front - 4 player game (3/29/2020 12:52:13 PM)

Jul/Aug 1940
Impulse: 7 (Axis)

Ground Strike (Air to Air Combat Subphase)

Orders are clear so no reason not to roll dice together

Round 1

Allied - 12 (AC) On behalf of the French I clear the worst stuka through
Axis - 5 (DX) The French fighter was destroyed. The pilot was saved.

Jul/Aug 1940
Impulse: 7 (Axis)

Rail Movement: None
Land Movement:
Japan

The Japanese move on the Nationalists northwest of Ankang, while continuing to move toward Changsha.


Germany

The Germans reorganise in Belgium and move on Metz.

Italy

The Italians (and Germans) re-arrange their forces in the Alps and look to the hex east of the resource.

Paradrop:
Germany

The Germans send their paratrooper to the Alps

Land Combat:

Three attacks are announced. Do the French want to use the notional for the Paradrop? The odds are 2:1 without and 3:2 with?



GeneralAdvance -> RE: News From the Front - 4 player game (3/29/2020 2:00:09 PM)

Can I have full info on the attack first please, units attacking etc [:)]



warspite1 -> RE: News From the Front - 4 player game (3/29/2020 2:02:15 PM)

I can't move the map so what do you need to know exactly?

GeneralAdvance -> RE: News From the Front - 4 player game (3/29/2020 2:05:00 PM)

Well attacking factors and units should suffice [:)]

Yes, that is frustrating. Especially annoying when dropping a para.

What hex is it? Do you have the combat factors?



warspite1 -> RE: News From the Front - 4 player game (3/29/2020 2:09:22 PM)

As far as I know (see picture above):

Defensive units 14 + 4 possible notional

Attacking units (from memory) German infantry, German mountain, Italian Militia, Italian motorised? and two divisions? = 11+12 or 13= 23 or 24.

Best I can do, if no good then I'll have to come out and re-do the turn.



GeneralAdvance -> RE: News From the Front - 4 player game (3/29/2020 2:10:51 PM)

Nevermind, no notional please [:)]



Orm -> RE: News From the Front - 4 player game (3/29/2020 2:11:18 PM)

Thank you. [:)]



warspite1 -> RE: News From the Front - 4 player game (3/29/2020 2:20:06 PM)

Odds are currently 27:8 (3:1) without the Ju-88 bomber. The Axis have a 4 and a 3 that can reach.

GeneralAdvance -> RE: News From the Front - 4 player game (3/29/2020 2:24:07 PM)

What about that third attack?[:)]



warspite1 -> RE: News From the Front - 4 player game (3/29/2020 2:26:39 PM)

That's in China - China has used up its aircraft so there is nothing left to decide.



GeneralAdvance -> RE: News From the Front - 4 player game (3/29/2020 2:32:59 PM)

Ok then, the French airforce sends their Potez 631 escorted by the D520S from Paris to support the brave garrison of Metz. Standing by for further orders.



warspite1 -> RE: News From the Front - 4 player game (3/29/2020 2:36:57 PM)

Jul/Aug 1940

GeneralAdvance -> RE: News From the Front - 4 player game (3/29/2020 2:51:54 PM)

If you shot down the D520S i expect the odds to be +4/-4 and thatīs bad even for French standards but the Potez 631 bravely stays itīs course.[:)]



warspite1 -> RE: News From the Front - 4 player game (3/29/2020 2:52:55 PM)

Why? The bomber still has an air-to-air rating.



GeneralAdvance -> RE: News From the Front - 4 player game (3/29/2020 3:01:03 PM)

Nevermind you are right of course.[:)]



warspite1 -> RE: News From the Front - 4 player game (3/29/2020 3:02:44 PM)

Where does the French bomber land?



GeneralAdvance -> RE: News From the Front - 4 player game (3/29/2020 3:06:03 PM)

Didn't realize the -1 for the FTR3 was already factored in and that your second FTR2 doesn't affect the battle right now. Too many optional rules for me sometimes.[:)]



warspite1 -> RE: News From the Front - 4 player game (3/29/2020 3:08:50 PM)

No problem, so where does the Potez land?



GeneralAdvance -> RE: News From the Front - 4 player game (3/29/2020 3:09:50 PM)

No the FTR3 stayed it's course which meant it stayed in the battle. Sorry if that was confusing.
