How is Tuesday evening? Say from 7pm?

West of the Ardennes - Round 1

Allied: 6 (AA) - The French decide which enemy aircraft to abort. I assume it will be the bomber (as Allenk would know I'm not going to risk a Stuka on a -4 if my fighter gets aborted and if he chooses the fighter he runs the risk the bomber gets through when the Axis throw next).
Axis: 11 (DC) - No Allied bomber to clear through.

The law of sod. That was over so quickly I could have done it on Sunday night and didn't need AllenK after all That is the unpredictability of MWIF!

Combat summary of the first two battles. The third disappeared before I had the chance to take a picture but was one German bomber aborted.

With one bomber aborted that leaves four strikes remaining. It looks like there are three enemy on each hex so will ask for 12 dice rolls and these will be applied in the order of the program.

Ground Strike:
Germany and Italy

The throws were:
7
2
10
5
1
10
9
5
4
8
1
2

Italy and Japan

I forgot all about these two! There is a GS for the Italians in the Alps. I can't scroll down the map as the Ground Strike box has come up. However I believe there were two French units in the hex so shall ask for two throws. I will also ask for two throws for Nanning. Again, these will be presented in the order of the program so the Alps attack is first.

The throws were:
2
1
7
4

Rail Movement: None
Land Movement:
Japan

The Japanese move ART up to Nanning, the newly arrived II Armoured Corps is sent to deal with the partisans west of Tsinan and the Peking Warlord is sent to try and protect the resource hex in the north.

Italy

The Italians make some minor adjustments in the northeast.

Germany

The French have a wall of armour, mech, artillery and anti-tank units in the clear terrain. I have two choices; a hopeful attack at low odds in the west or try and switch flanks and see if I can make some progress to the south. The latter is problematic in itself as there is a river to try and get across and still low odds but at least the French have no armour there at the moment.....

Paradrop:
Germany

The Germans send the II Para Corps to the hex west of Strasbourg escorted by a Bf109.

The French have the three fighters shown to intercept with. The Axis have a 5, 4 and 3 in range.

What do the French want to do?

Impulse: 2 (Axis)

Land Combat:
Germany

The Germans declare three attacks:
West of Strasbourg
The Alps
Yugoslavia

Japan

The Japanese announce an attack against a partisan


The French are asked if they want to include the notional. I can't see AllenK on the forum but can't save the game at this stage. The odds are 3:1 either way, but are closer to 4:1 without. However, on the basis that AllenK doesn't want another +1 for me and it may end up with the same odds anyway, I say no.

In the north the odds are 33:9 (3:1) The Germans bring in 2 bombers (6 points). They have two 5-strength fighters that could intercept with.

In the south the odds are 21.5:10 (2:1) The Germans bring in the He-115C (1 point) aircraft. There is one 3-strength fighter that can intercept.

What do the French want to do?

Do the French stick around?

Round 2

I'll do these in the order they appear.

Land Combat:
Germany

First up its west of Strasbourg.

The odds are 4:1+3

The fractionals fail (833 thrown). The land attack was an 8(11) and the defender loses both units.
