RE: Mayhemizer vs Allen K: The rematch
As the world holds its breath to see the fate of Guderian. Will the attack be localized to him or an attempt to encircle and place his whole army out of supply?
RE: Mayhemizer vs Allen K: The rematch
The Nationalist Chinese move to put Yamamoto out of supply. I expect it will be remedied but it all takes time.

The encirclement attempt is made and succeeds in putting him OOS. Also shown are CW positions after movement in Italy and the Greek front.

RE: Mayhemizer vs Allen K: The rematch
USSR declares 3 combats.
At Ploesti, the odds are 16:1 +21. Against Guderian 9:1 +18 (+19B). Against the 7-4 Mot 4.5:1 +12 (+12.5B).
Antonescu could add emergency supply to 1 unit. Given to the 8-6 Arm changes the odds to 16:8 +4 (+5B). Given to the 7-4 Mot changes them to 4.5:7 +3.2 (+3.7B). Does the HQ wish to disorganise itself and provide supply. Another alternative would be bringing an air unit back in supply.
Edit: Where you have choice of table, what would you like?

Amazing how a second and third front can tied down the Germans making them ineffective. The Russian bear should be able to have their way with them.

I thought you can't put them OOS...
Use HQ for plane and give ground support to ARM HQ. Land as far south west as possible.
Mot chooses assault, ARM HQ blitz. ARM is automatic.
Bye bye my precious units...

If your attack is going really well, it's an ambush.

The Me-110 is the only plane that could take off and the HQ supply is sent there. It ads 1 factor to Guderian. Final odds.

Ploesti, where an He-111 is over-run and destroyed.

Soviets rebase a Lnd to Bucharest.
Alexander reorgs the Stirling and Halifax. Gort the Queens.
On a 1, the turn ends, which is a pain as CW still had a couple of CP's to re-establish. Oh well, a slight drop in production this turn.

In Poland, a partisan appears in Katowice. Another appears at La Rochelle, over-running and destroying a German Nav.
US adds a chit to the Ge/It pool. It chooses Resources to Western Allies and a 4 moves a chit to the tension pool. This gives 1 chit in the Ge/It entry pool and 3 in the tension pool. The US also declares an oil embargo against Japan. A chit moves from the entry pool to the tension pool. Japan has 8 in Entry and 2 in Tension.

Devastating, I feel your pain Mayhemizer.
RE: Mayhemizer vs Allen K: The rematch
Mayhemizer has surrendered, which just about wraps this AAR up.
Thank you to all those who have followed the action and especially to those who have contributed their comments and observations.
Stay tuned for the next instalment.

After long time of investigating map I noticed there is one CW controlled hex in eastern Yugoslavia. I did not see that earlier and it costed me a lot.

Interesting and very agressive AAR.
This makes for a fast moving game with many turns, but the combat system is extremely punishing against low odds attacks, i.e. these at less that +7, of which there were plenty.
I still believe that in the absense of the USA and by taking a defensive stance, Germany might have lasted at least two years, if they could regroup their corps, which is a pending question seeing as they were hammered in Rumania.
The Japanese side was more intriguing, but Japan did lose precious units (marines) so the question remains to know what they could have really achieved. Not to mention that they would have had to face a large part of the Royal Navy, freed of any serious duty in Europe.
Lesson to learn: the Italians are weak, and as a rule of thumb, always leave a corps in Rome.
With that rule, Italy might have lasted, with German support (hum, well, it seems that Germany had little to spare.)
Thanks guys!

Great AAR. Out of lurker mode to thank You two for sharing it with us.
It seems to me that Germany should have been able to align Bulgaria after the Soviet Rumanian peace. The peace may have been buggy, but a way around would be for the CW to declare war on Blugaria, picking the roll to avoid removing a chit from the Ge/It entry, and not taken any action against Bulgaria. Then, it would be aligned with Germany. Roll a die to see if a shit would have to be added (3 or less) and ajust the next roll accordingly if possible.
When getting surprise against submarines, why not choose sub combat with the surprise points if you have cruisers ? The surface units get no damage at all and the submarines suffer from the ASW table. I think it is more efficient than surface and column shifts.
