Sep/Oct 1939 Impulse: 11 (Axis) Ground Strike: Japan A bomber attempts to hit the Chinese communists in the mountains Germany A Bomber flies to Antwerp for the same purpose (well not exactly the same as there are no Chinese communists in Antwerp). They try and hit Belgian troops instead. [image]local://upfiles/28156/055A1452D5F041EABB4B71618A17935B.jpg[/image]

Sep/Oct 1939 Impulse: 11 (Axis) Rail Movement: None Land Movement: Italy The Italians in East Africa are ordered to take a more defensive approach Germany The Germans set up to attack the units in Liege. The failed ground strikes makes an attack on Antwerp impossible. Japan The Japanese continue to manoeuvre against the communist forces. Land Combat: Germany Two attacks are announced. An automatic vs Liege and against Warsaw which is +11. Which table do the Poles want to choose? [image]local://upfiles/28156/7D38DDDBECEB4889B71ECC767E866E8D.jpg[/image]

It'll have to be Assault as no retreat path.

No partisans USSR puts chit to defence. US puts chit into Ge/It. The Japanese get hot under the collar when they hear of Allied plans to send resources to Japan (1 rolled. Chit to tension pool).

Stay at Sea/RTB CW: Various escorts stay out. BB , CV and CVL in East Med to Gib'. Biscay - Queens to Cape Town. TRANS and BB's to Plymouth. France: TRANS in West Med to Tunis. US: TRANS by Pearl back to San Diego. Oil Use CW reorgs all for 2 oils (1.7). France reorgs all spending the oil at Bordeaux (0.7). US reorgs all for 0 points (0.4). No breakdowns. Production China 5 - INF, MIL CW 10 - Scraps some Polish planes and CVP's. INF, FTR-2, Pilot x2, CVP-0 x2, Repair CA London. France 4 - MIL x2 US 11 - AMPH 1st, CV 1st, INF Div, Piloy x2. USSR 8 - MTN, Pilot x2. Reinforcements CW - MIL's to Brussels and Batavia. CP to Liverpool. BB Valiant to Plymouth. Pilots to Hurricane and Whitley (London) and Blenheim (Southampton). France - MIL's to Dakar and Marseilles. US - 3 CL's to San Diego. USSR - MIL to Lanchow. Trade Agreements CW sends 1 oil and 2 resources to France. One oil is sent to China. Initiative: Axis 7, Allies 5. No re-rolls for Allies, so Axis move first. Weather a touch soggy in the north but probably not enough to put the Axis off their stride.

quote: ORIGINAL: warspite1 quote: ORIGINAL: AllenK It'll have to be Assault as no retreat path. warspite1 Sorry, until I understand the rule I will have to keep asking [&:]. A unit can not retreat into an impassible hex, across an impassible hexside, onto an enemy unit, or into a vacant hex that has an enemy ZOC exerted into it. Also, if it retreats into an overstack, it must continue retreating not into a hex it has retreated from. If there is no hex it can retreat to after a chain of retreats, it is destroyed.

The overstack presumably can be any length but needs to end not in ZOC.

Nov/Dec 1939 Impulse: 1 (Axis) Declarations of War and Alignments: None Japan: Combined Germany: Land Italy: Combined Port Attack: None Naval Air: None Naval Movement: Japan Two TRS move to the South China Sea and pick up an ENG and an AT. Strategic Bombing: None Ground Strike: None Rail Movement: Germany A 7-3 INF is railed to Karlsruhe, and an ART and an ENG to Dusseldorf. Land Movement: Japan Two units continue their trek north from the south coast. Germany The Germans adjust positions in the west and set up for an attack against Brussels. In Poland the remaining units re-position themselves - some for transfer west and others to form the garrison. Italy One of the Italians in Somaliland moves out of the capital and heads southwest. Debark Japan An ENG disembarks in Tsingtao Land Combat: Germany One attack - against Brussels. It's a +21. The Germans bring in no ground support. The CW has 4 bombers, but no fighters that can reach. The Germans have 5 fighters that are available for counter-interception. What do the CW want to do? Note: There is also a 3-factor fighter not shown that can reach. [image]local://upfiles/28156/F29E451A2E764ACEB9568117002DDABF.jpg[/image]

A faint Everley Brothers-esque melody wafts through the air. It's the RAF pilots with the hit of the moment. "We'll do no flying in the rain".

Nov/Dec 1939 Impulse: 1 (Axis) The attack on Brussels was automatic and I chose Assault so there is no breakthrough. Rebase: Germany Two short-arsed stukas try and head back from Poland but barely get out of Pomerania....[8\|] Two fighters move to the new front-line. Italy Two fighters swap positions between Genoa and the south. Japan A bomber and NAV move closer to the front line Reorganisation: None

No combats. Chinese rebase their FTR to Chungking. No reorgs. Turn continues on an 8 (less than 3 needed). Weather clears up somewhat. [image]local://upfiles/47730/061BBD141F6E4F48AAA7B3926AC8EAD9.jpg[/image]

Can't go to a vacant hex in an enemy ZOC.

The French pilots appear to have picked up on the hit and they too begin a rousing rendition of �I�ll do no flying in the rain.�
