Jul/Aug 1942

Allies 1st Impulse:

Ground Strikes:
Quite a number of ground strikes for the Allies this impulse.

In Russia, ground strikes are attempted on both Rundstedt and Rommel HQs, and the Armor stack that brokethrough across the Dnieper and threatens Sevastapol. The Soviets also use their ARTY to shell the Guderian HQ.

In France, the CW ground strikes the closest German unit to Brest, the Kesselring HQ, and another German unit, all out of fighter range.

In Spain, the US ground strikes Von Bock. The Allies are trying to hit HQs as that will help them establish a beachhead if the Axis cannot moves HQs to the landing area.

Germany intercepts the attack on Rommel, but not the one on Rundstedt, willing to take their chances with the forest hex halving the Russian bomber.

Italy intercepts the attack on the breakthrough hex...

Over Rommel, its a straight up fight with 0/0 odds...

1st round, Axis rolls a 12, clearing the Soviet bomber. Soviets roll a 8, aborting the German fighter. The Allied attack will go through.

Ground Strikes (continued):
In Southern Ukraine, an Italian FTR attempts to stop a Russian bomber. Odds are +1/-1 in Axis favor.

1st round, Axis rolls a 5, destroying the Soviet bomber. Russia rolls a 17, returning the favor, killing the Italian fighter.

Not as good as the Allies would hope, all around. Rundstedt was hit though, so they have that at least.

In the far east, some of the Russian defenders make a break for the nearest city. If they stay they WILL die, if they flee they may be ignored by the Japanese.

Hmmmm...with those poor results from air strikes, it might be worth it for the Allied High Command to rethink their plans.

Perhaps but I think that the Axis can't cover every possible avenue. And if they do the allies could always just invade Portugal

Axis 2nd Impulse:

Actions:
Germany - Land
Italy - Land
Japan - Land

Japan is not sure it wants to lose 3 FTRs at Rabaul and may transfer some out

Rail Moves:
Germany moves two garrison units to Gibraltar area to allow the 9-4 INF to move north.

Land Moves:
Here's the situation in France after the Axis moves. The Allies will have to decide where to land based on this.

Axis 2nd Impulse:

Land Moves (continued):
After moves in Russia here is how it looks in the south. The Russian fleet has left Sevastapol after being overrun. The Red factory city is in German hands. Mannstein is considering an attack on Kerch. We will see.

THIS IS BEFORE LAND DECLARATIONS

Axis 2nd Impulse:

Land Moves (continued):
Near Moscow, the Axis maneuvers to fill up the gaps between them and the Soviets. The Soviets actually did some pretty effective blocking in short notice.

Most likely the top tier German units will attack the alone disrupted 5-4 MOT and Rommel may give a shot at the hex he is adjacent to, probably not. We will see after I get back from work.

THIS IS BEFORE LAND DECLARATIONS

Hi Mark,

I have been keeping an eye on your AAR as well.

How effective in your opinion has the Soviet air force been so far in these early Barbarossa impulses?

Having never made it this far in the game, my initial idea is to hold the Soviet air force far neough behind the front, out of reach of the Luftwaffe and overrunning ground troops. The long range bombers being the exception. I am thinking of keeping them in just enough range to strike if the German interceptors can not reach them on a strike. This may change, as time goes on in my campaign.

Thanks.
