A long walk has done little to remove the frustration in the CW high command.

Well I think we both knew that was going to happen......

The continued fine weather - have you ever known a weather game like this? - just adds insult to injury. And as for our luck at sea......

Yes....then we throw a 10

Sorry - was close to failing a morale check but I can laugh at it now.

Yes, I think as ever, we need to play the numbers. And there is nothing that is so desperately urgent (or even close to it) that the Chinese or Soviets need to do that would stop us from trying to get a short turn.

Status: offline 		Any ideas on how to progress with CW?

I was thinking of playing a combined impulse with CW.

But then it will be hard or impossible to repair the convoy lines. Although at the moment they are not to damaged, but production will be somewhat reduced.

I was thinking sending out the two TRS in Gibraltar to collect troops to reinforce Gibraltar.

I assumed that was always the plan. Convoys have to wait I'm afraid

I wasn't close to that because I know that I have a partner that will save my behind from being fried.

Although I must confess that I was annoyed.

Anyways....

Plans for the Soviets:

- 1 Offensive chit
- Reorganise Timsohenko

Build Points = 16

ARM = 6
MOT = 4
2 x INF = 6

Reinforcement

No Pilot placement
7-6 ARM in Odessa
5-6 MECH in Minsk

I guess if they continue with good weather they will adopt the same tactic and try and remove Gibraltar over two impulses. If the weather is not Fine then perhaps they will go straight in with an Offensive Chit?

Do you think we can keep enough shipping (for shore bombardment purposes) at sea in case they get first impulse?

I would like more sea lift with CW but with the latest addition I think I have enough to get the job done. Albeit a bit slower than I would like and not enough reserves.

Realistically when do you see the US as entering?

Now I predict US entering late 1941 or early 1942.

Edit: US already has the ability to DOW albeit low.

Status: offline 		If they play an Offensive Chit during a Rain impulse I would say that the Axis is starting to feel the time pressure of wanting to turn east. Their spending on NAVs is good news for Russia, which they will still ultimately attack (no Axis naval transport builds); but bad news for the Atlantic theater. Losing Gibraltar also likely gains an USE chit, though 1940 chits are worth the least. But continuing to fight like Churchill at Tangiers and Bilbao will keep the brakes on them. The spending on SYNTHs is also good news for the Allied position for a while.

Status: offline 		My two cents is that I think the Axis are falling behind. The CW may be paying a terrible price in blood, but the Axis are not attempting to make them pay for it in other areas like Africa/Egypt. The Japanese don't appear to be very effective in China either. In the mean time, the clock is ticking and it appears an early US entry is going to spoil the Axis party.

The weather is now iffy and the Axis have left themselves open to depending on more luck in terms of weather and making very low odds attacks against Gibraltar. The fact is, they may not take it anytime soon as long as the CW is willing to feed the grinder. If their O-Chit miscarries, they are going to be in real trouble long term I think.

My main worry is that I accidently emptied Cape St Vincent of surface combat ships. There is now a opportunity for them to put Gibraltar OOS.

Don't worry about it - with our luck at sea at the moment you could have put the whole fleet there and we would still have been chucked out and out of supply.....

I am mostly annoyed that with at least one SCS the German fleet would have been in one box lower.
