Are turns almost always ending ASAP or am I having selective memory? Seems like that would be really good for the allies, getting more time to bring in the US and/or use superior income.

He's rolling really well to end turns, yes. There have been a lot of ones rolled on the first or second turns when it became possible.

So the Norwegian campaign draws to a close, I guess it's time to finish evacuating the Commonwealth and allied forces. Is losing Gort and his 2 ReOrg going to hurt long term, or just in the short term once better Commonwealth HQ units are produced?

July/August 1940, end of turn steps: Partisans:  The d10 partisan roll is a 5. The only countries that have a potential for partisans are Poland and Yugoslavia. The other countries are not enemy occupied nor do they have a red background.  Poland has a partisan number of 6. The Axis have a garrison value that exceeds 20. No partisans can appear.  Yugoslavia has a partisan number of 9. The Axis have a garrison value of 7. If a d10 roll of 2 or less is rolled, 1 partisan unit will appear. The d10 roll is a 2. 1 Allied controlled partisan is placed in Yugoslaiva.  The partisan is placed on top of the resource hex in the forest. That resource cannot be used again until the partisan is no longer on the hex. US Entry: USA draws an entry chit with a value of 2 and places it against Germany. The US has entry markers of 4, 1, 1, 1, 4, 3, 0, 2 for a value of 32; and tension markers of 2, 5, 1, 0 for a value of 16 against Europe. The US has entry markers of 4, 3, 4, 2, 3 for a value of 32; and tension markers of 4, 2, 3 for a value of 17 against Japan. The US will play the entry option 23 against Japan, to freeze Japanese assests. This will change the trade agreement between Japan and the USA, so that the US only needs to supply 2 oil to Japan now. If a d10 roll of 7 or less is made, 1 entry marker is moved to the tension pool. The d10 roll is a 4. An entry marker with a value of 3 is moved to the Japan tension pool. The US will play entry option 25, which allow the US to spend their build points repair any damaged ships from any of Western Allies and their controlled minor countries in their ports. If a d10 roll of 5 or less is made, and entry marker is moved to the German tension pool. The d10 roll is a 7, no entry marker is moved.  Return to base: The Axis will return their units first. -Italy returned the ships from the Italian coast to Taranto:  -Italy returned the transport carrying the infantry unit to the controlled port in Greece:  -Germany and Italy returned the sub units in the Bay of Biscay to Bordeaux:  -Germany returned sub units in the North Sea to Bordeaux:  -Germany returned the auxiliary cruiser to the neutral Portuguese port in Angola:  -Germany returned the sub in the Carribean to the milchcow unit:  -Germany returned the amphibious unit and the transport unit in the Baltic to Stettin:  -Germany left the two pocket battleships in the Baltic and moved them down one box to the 1 box:  -Germany attempts to return the Kriegsmarine ships to Brest:  The Allies will flip the Bonaventure face down to attempt an interception roll. The Allies d10 roll is 1 increased to a 2. The Allies are successful in intercepting the units. The Allies find the units will all of their ships. The Axis roll is a 1. Since it is in a return to base step, the German units are considered in the 0 box. The Allies will include all of their units, it will be an air to sea combat, since the Allies have aircraft. The highest sea box with an Allied aircraft is the 3 box, not the 4 box. The Allies will have 3 surprise points (3+1) (0+1).  The Allies are attacking the Germany ships initially with 4 air to sea factors from the 2 bombers. The Axis units have 14 AA factors and 8 ships. The lowest one of four d10 rolls is the number of air to sea factors turned away. The d10 rolls are 5, 9, 3, and 10. 3 of the air to sea factors are turned away. That leaves 1 factors against the 8 ships. The initial result is 1 abort. They will spend 4 surprise points to increase the result to 2 damaged results.  The Allies will first attack the Mortuus's Bismarck. Her defense value is a 2. The d10 roll is a 3, she is aborted to Brest.  The Axis will take the other damage result against the Scharnhorst. Her defense value is a 3. The d10 roll is a 6, she is aborted to Brest.  The remaining Axis ships will abort the sea area to Brest with the remaining ships. -Finland returns their fighter in the North Sea to Antwerp:  -Italy returns their sub units in the Cape St Vincent to Bordeaux:  -Japan returned the transport to Nagoya:  -Japan returned the carriers and aircraft, along with some cruisers from the 3 and 4 box to Truk. The remaining ships in the sea zone were moved down one box to the 2 box:  The Allies/Communists return their ships next. -Commonwealth returns the transport and the Norwegian division to Hull:  -Commonwealth returns the ships from the Norwegian Sea to Plymouth:  -the Allies returned the ships and carriers from the Bay of Biscay to Plymouth. Some of the ships were left at sea and moved down to the 3 box:  -Commonwealth returned ships in the Cape St Vincent to Gibraltar. Two of the ships were left at sea and moved down in each sea box:  -Commonwealth returned the battleships in the western Mediterranean Gibraltar:  -the Allies returned the transport, carriers and face down ships in the North Sea to Plymouth. The P40 was returned to Dover. The remaining face up ships are each moved down one box in the sea zone:  -Commonwealth returned the naval bomber and sub from the Italian Coast to Malta:  -the Allies returned their ships in the eastern Mediterran to Alexandria, Egypt. The damaged Nelson was returned to the Edinburgh port repair pool.  -Commonwealth returned ships from the North Atlantic to St John's, Newfoundland:  -Commonwealth returned ships from the Central Atlantic to Antigua:  -USA returned the ships and the Hudson bomber to Norfolk:  -USA returned the sub from the West Coast to Seattle:  Next update will have final reorganization and production steps.

The picture for the reinforcement to Saigon is the Hiei's deployment picture, FYI. Otherwise, we seem to be on track for a Spring '41 Barbarossa, correct? Barring hilarity with Bulgaria/Romania of course. Or North Africa going really tits up for the Axis.

Looks like I just missed the II Canadian Corps (to my immense sorrow), but is the III Canadian Corps still available or, barring that, the UK XXX Armoured? E: it's rough being Canadian - not many other nations will get their entire historical land contribution to the war spoken for. I'd have grabbed one the vessels my grandfather served on, but I doubt the Flower-class Corvettes are even big enough to make it here (let alone make a difference.)

September/October 1940, Allies/Communists impulse 1, attacks and results: There is rain in the Arctic, North Temperate, and North Monsoon areas. Clear weather is in all other areas. No port attacks are done. Naval air missions: -USA flies the naval bombers to the Carribean:  Naval movement: -Commonwealth moved the transports from Norway and the transport from Hull to the North Sea. A transport from Norway is carrying a Belgian infantry unit:  -Commonwealth moved the transports from Greece and Alexandria to the eastern Mediterranean. One of the Commonwealth units was aboard a transport from Greece:  -Commonwealth moved ships from Newfoundland and Scapa Flow to the north Atlantic:  -Commonwealth moved ships to the central Atlantic:  -Commonwealth moved the transport from South Africe to Cape Naturaliste:  -Free France moved the transport to the Cape St Vincent:  -Commonwealth moved the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth to the US east coast zone:  -Commonwealth moved the ships from Singapore to the Arabian Sea and the Azanian Sea:  -Commonwealth moved the ships in the Ark Royal task force to the eastern Mediterranean:  -Commonwealth moved the Renown and [/i]Effingham[/i] to the Red Sea:  -Commonwealth moved the subs from Malta to the Italian coast:  -Commonwealth moved three of the battleships from Gibraltar to the eastern Mediterranean:  -Commonwealth moved the other battleships from Gibraltar to the western Mediterranean:  -Commonwealth moved ships from Plymouth, and the carriers Illustrious and Formidable to the Bay of Biscay:  -Commonwealth moved the carrier Victorious and ships from Plymouth to the North Sea:  -Commonwealth moved ships from Plymouth to the Cape St Vincent:  -USA moved the task force with Jimmy4400nav's Ranger to the East Coast zone:  Naval combat: -Commonwealth flipped the sub unit in the Italian Coast 3 box to search:  The Allies d10 roll is a 5. The Axis d10 roll is a 9. The search is unsuccesful. No strategic bombing or carpet bombing missions are flown. No ground strike missions are done. No rail movement is done. Land movement: -China is not able to move the prior planned moves, as the weather is rain, and moving any of their would flip them. Some of the Communist Chinese and Japanese units are currently out of supply due to the rain and will not be able to attack:  -USSR moved units in the Ukraine to the west:  -USSR moved the mechanized unit in Stalingrad to the west:  No air transport is done. No units are debarked from a sea zone. No amphibious invasions are done. No paradrops are done. Land combat: -Nationalist China attacks the hex in southern China:  China is attacking with a value of 20 against the Japanese defense of 6; a combat ratio of 3:1. The initial combat roll modifier is a +6, due to the rain that is decreased to a +4. There are no other modifiers. Japan will defend on the blitz table. The 2d10 roll is an 17, increased to a 21. The result is a */B. The Japanese unit is shattered and will arrive as a reinforcement the next turn. The attacking units remain face up. A unit will not move into the hex right now, as this would cause the unit to flip face down due to the rain.  The shattered Japanese unit will be placed to arrive in Shanghai at the start of the next turn. Aircraft rebases: -Commonwealth rebases the two bombers from Norway to England:  No HQ reorganization is done. The end of turn roll cannot be made yet. The impulse marker is flipped to the Axis side:

RZApublican posted:I must not have noticed it before, but what does the Axis Lend-Lease Pool do? It works the same as the Allied lend-lease pool does, it's just significantly smaller in total available aircraft that can be transferred between Axis countries. There's only just a handful of units that Germany can give Italy, and I think there is one or two Italian units that can be given to Germany. There are none from Japan to the European Axis countries or none going from them to Japan.

I'll happily remove this if it's inappropriate to put here, but since this is a sort-of-hard-to-find board game... I've accepted the fact that I'll never get this to the table. If anyone is looking for a cheap copy, I just put mine up on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/World-In-Flames-FINAL-EDITION-DELUXE-w-PiF-SiF-MiF-AsA-AfA-/111741885950?hash=item1a0455ddfe Count Thrashula fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Aug 12, 2015 |
