Status: offline 		I'd think I'd rather get the TRANS ready to sail. Axis will want the turn to continue, so I don't think they'll pass. That means their impulse will have a 50% chance to end the turn. If it doesn't, the TRANS can sail and load the MIL to bring to France. What would be best, 1 BP production loss to Germany (40% chance, with 10% for 2 BP's) or the extra unit in France?

In the meantime, let's get the show on the road.

If the turn doesn't end, I wonder whether Germany will gamble on a 3:2 attack at +3, assuming they commit every available bomber? I'd give it a go as the probable disorganisation won't be catastrophic with the end of turn looming and the first loss is a MIL.

A possibility but I think less likely as the subsequent advance would leave a hex with only 1 unit in it and open to counter-attack. Also, no modifiers.

Status: offline 		Generally speaking, it is always better to have another land unit in France as compared to a strategic bombardment which might or might not succeed.

Good call not to have all powers pass. 50% chance of turn ending isn't that good...

Now, in the next Allied impulse, you should all pass with 90% chance of the turn ending....

Looks like Germany might be up to a '41 Barb? Build ARM/MECH.

1) CW takes Antwerp with 3 units and coastal hex west of Antwerp
2) CW takes Antwerp with 3 units and hex west of Brussels (where MECH is now) with 2-3 units

In case of 1) France takes hex west of Brussels.

USSR takes combined. TRS loaded with INF to Burgas.
USSR ground strikes Sofia with two bombers in Odessa. Planes land back to same place.

I think 2 is the best option as the French units (I presume you will use the ones in Lille) will be slightly stronger than what CW can assemble. On the coast CW gets shore bombardment support.

Yes. Stack MIL and other stuff to Antwerp and save MECH for that clear hex. France will take hex west of Brussels with units in Lille.

No DoW or alignments.

France and China Land, rest Combined.

USSR sends TRANS loaded with INF from Sevastopol to Burgas.

CW sends a task force of CV, 3 CVL, 2 BB and 2 CA to North Sea 2-box. A CA loads the INF Div in Antwerp. II INF is transported from Gibraltar to Calais.

US sends TRANS loaded with P-35 to Hawiian Is box 1. A TRANS from Midway starts heading back to US.

No strategic bombing.

CW 4.5's open up on the German units east of Antwerp. French 105's open up on the units in Brussels. USSR ground strikes Sofia with two bombers in Odessa. Planes land back to same place.

The 4.5's aren't too effective but disorganising the ENG is helpful.

Edit: Wrong thread

As long as it's in a different weather zone to Belgium and France, here's hoping.

And I bet they are cursing CW and French artillery at the moment.

Status: offline 		It's a gamble for them. O-chit now but with fewer attacking units available or reorganise and hope on the weather staying fine for their next impulse. They also risk the ART's having another successful go if they do decide to wait and the air and naval support hasn't been committed yet.

Weather is 80% likely to be fine. I'd be inclined to ground strike now to try and take out the ART and anything else as a bonus, reorganise land units and then see about the following impulse for the O-chit. Attacking Antwerp should still have a good amount of naval support available to the defenders. The blow(s) might fall on the French.

Status: offline 		I like the French/CW line a lot! As the Germans I try and avoid CW units/air as much as possible.

I agree with AllenK. I would do an air impulse...hit the HQ's, Brussels, and the Paris MIL hex (re-org the air).

Does he still have his PARA? Do the Germans have only 1 ATR? Is there an Italian ATR? With this strong defense, he has to take it one hex at a time. The PARA adds a nice +1, and is an extra unit to the blitz attacks when only attacking 2 hexes to 1. With average rolls, the PARA will be available for each attack (assuming he built an extra ATR for Germany, and has one on loan from Italy. The Germans can pound their way one hex at a time to Paris, then will probably have to use their o-chit to take Paris (with two hexes on it).

Status: offline 		Things are as good as you can get at the Western Front at the moment. Now, it's up to the Gods. If the dice roll good, France can hold until S/O 1940. And that normally means that you are forcing Germany to go for a Barbarossa 1941, which is usually a good thing for the Allies.

Status: offline 		I'm confusing myself with all these games and trying to post to right thread. Maybe we should name these threads by "Allied games" and "Axis games".

GAME 4 (where I play CW/US/Nationalist Chinese)

CW plans:

1) If Germany goes with Fall Gelb, CW helps France as much as we did in Game 2 (Reverse AAR).

2) If Germany takes Poland first, CW will go to Denmark if possible. CW wants to take take port in northern Denmark (and maybe more if possible) to cause pressure and to sink CPs in Baltic Sea. 2-3 corps goes there. CW builds some land units to support Belgium and France as promised.

Game 4

Yes, if you get a chance at Denmark, then go for it. Frustrate them by ground striking units on the border on the surprise impulse. Next turn threaten to do it again so it ties up a FTR to stop it.

If possible, the French will send a couple of CA's to the Baltic to help with the CP disruption.

If Denmark doesn't work out, going for the Italians by invading Sardinia and port-striking their TRANS is likely to cause some disruption.

It's a compromise. With two games running, we have six threads (one main game thread and one discussion thread for each team per game). Moving to four games, do we simply double the number of threads and have twelve threads running or attempt to cut the number of threads by using the team threads to discuss either of the the games from the team perspective? The latter option results in eight threads to maintain, rather than twelve.

We chose to limit the discussion threads (eight rather than twelve) but this may change if it proves too confusing for the players and readers.
