105 mm artillery ground strikes Santander.

Good night, I do my land moves tomorrow.

Actually, if Morocco is in supply, don't use 150 mm artillery. CW has ATR ready and they can reorganize MIL. If turn continues, I can use artillery next impulse if Morocco goes OOS.

Now the two Italian units in Africa are ready to move on Algiers, I'm tempted to move the CA at La Spezia to West Med for shore bombardment. If Stuka ground strike works, attack would be 5:2. 2:1, with 50% chance of 3:1. Even at 2:1 chance of success is 60% (20% chance of disaster).


Note that if Morocco is in supply, CW has planes in range to support Algiers by 2 points of ground support.

Good point. No attack this impulse but I'll still try the ground-strike.

Also we should place Italian ATR so that it can transport German Para, it arrives next turn.

We need to take Algiers first, or put Morocco OOS.

Germany sends hungarian fighter to CSV, one (or two) NAV should stay there do that we can try to put Morocco OOS. We can fight in North Africa long time, but Spain should be cleared first. Germany sends next turn brand new FW190 (range 6, strength 7) to BoB.

If we get another impulse, Germany will ground strike Bayonne with two fighters (2x factor 2). If we hit anything, I would test our luck and attack to another hex adjacent to last factory city. Germany will also send sub to CSV.

If we ever get Morocco, I think Italian ARM HQ should lead attack to Egypt. Germany has ARM div to join that operation. Also German MAR and PARA are free to use in any operations. Germany can also leave/send one or two IND divisions for invasions.

MAR, PARA and 2x div have total strength 11,5.

Status: offline 		Any gains should be made in the Med. Also: consider building forts and white print MTN and a MTN division to defend Gib with. It makes the place very difficult for the Allies to take back. Even out of supply and disorganised two white print MTN and a MTN division defend GIB with a horrendous 21 factors. And if the Allies are halved too due to forts present there it really makes the place a fortress...

Concentrate on Spain, Morocco and Egypt. Barbarossa is still far, far away with the Allies in Spain, Egypt and Tangiers...

This is pertaining to your reverse game. I'm wondering why you think so? If the Axis want an effective Med/Spain/Gib strategy they have to feed Italy BP's to get its useful tools. What are they waiting for vis-à-vis Italy entering the war? To me, this points to Barb more than Med. Of course we are looking at the earliest and flimsiest clues.

As for USSR in Bulgaria, Germany can very easily cut supply in the Black Sea...so I would only have white print unit(s?), and cheap ones.

We could well be wrong. It was mostly based on the strong Italian set-up on the French border and moving out of Africa, rather than reinforcing. The lack of lending from Germany to Italy is starting to count against the theory. It may well be the Italians are simply tying down French units on the border, so there are less to defend against the main German effort and conserving strength for Barb.

Status: offline 		Okay, plans for the impulse? Japan will do combined for a couple of land moves - SNLF to take the port it's adjacent to. Move the TERR in Manchuria. Debating whether to put CP in Timor Sea to bring MAR Div back in supply, then use a CA from Tokyo to pick up the Div to invade Henderson.

I think we need to consider preparing to take Portugal. The Italian 4-5 MOT may be useful to rail across. Italians, with combined, can initiate in BoB. Nothing left to send to CSV.

After that I need to see situation. There will be some ground strikes. If Morocco is OOS, Italian ATR will roll 1 and 1 and Germany will attack Tangier. Is this planning too optimistic?

Let's see how things are after naval combat.

You can start naval moves as you know Japanese plans little better

USSR is pushing units to German border. Next turn they can break the pact.

I was going to rail one more unit to southern Spain, but I need to rail unit to USSR border.

In J/F 1942 latest USSR can break the pact.

Status: offline 		I think we need to take northern Spain very fast and then move German units to USSR border. Meanwhile some units can take Portugal.

I hope we find something in BoB. If we do, we should target (TRS of course) and 2 organized ships that can provide shore bombardment.

If German fighters hit anything in Bayonne, we should attack with HQ support.

If we get Bayonne with some luck, we can attack Bilbao from 2 hexes.

Status: offline 		Excuse me for my dumb question, but I cant see everything under the top counters and all theaters (east front for example). I but would think the Germans/Italians could just bulldoze everything in northern Spain regardless of BoB. I see you are using the fighters as bombers and I don't see many bombers in in northern Spain (or even in southern Spain). I like the Italian Stuka in Algeria even though it missed I'm looking for the German bombers as they should be ground striking the Allies to death (everything flipped).

Yes, all the way around. The Rock is the only place in the world where building forts really make a difference for the Axis.
