Pat vs Ronnie GW AAR

[ashkpa]

German He will fly to the 0 box.

MA40. Allied #1. East Med.

The search rolls go just enough in the allied favor for them to select a sub combat. With no surprise points left to increase damage the result is that both the RN sub and Italian CP unit are aborted.

With the RN sub unit aborted and with the CA York possessing a "0" bombardment factor the RN decides it's best to abort now while they're still ahead. The RN aborted sub goes to Malta, the CA York to Gibraltar and the Italian CP to La Speiza.

Hampden to the 0-box.

[ashkpa]

Rolls of 6 and 5 for the axis and allies respectively, resulting in no contact.

In the North Atlantic, the rolls are a 5 and 1 respectively. Leaving the Allies with choices.

[rkr1958]

Use surprise points to avoid combat, please.

[ashkpa]

Done. No combat initiated in the Baltic.

The following is the only land attack. Normally, I would have assumed an assault, but that may not be accurate for China currently. Your choice.

Assault please.

[ashkpa]

Here is the result of the attack.

[ashkpa]

Here is the situation in S. China (no significant changes in the north).

[ashkpa]

And here is Europe, not much change.

MA40. Allied #5. Weather Roll.

A late winter storm blankets Europe even though the calendar says it's spring. In fact, miserable weather blankets the globe with storms in the Med, rain in the tropics and storms below the equator.

MA40. Allied #5. Actions.

MA40. Allied #5. The Baltic.

The French sub in the Baltic attempts to initiate combat but both searches are unsuccessful (allied 5, axis 3).

[rkr1958]

MA40. Allied #5. North Atlantic, Cape St. Vincent.

In these two areas the allies elect not to initiate combat. Since no additional allied naval or air units were added to these two areas the axis, as the non-phasing player, aren't given the opportunity to try.

I'm sure Pat when his impulse comes around will attempt to initiate combat and sink more of my CPs. [:(]

[rkr1958]

MA40. Allied #5. The Italian Coast.

The Royal Sovereign off the Italian Coast initiates combat and the allies hit paydirt.

[rkr1958]

MA40. Allied #5. The Italian Coast. Surprise Points.

The RN uses their surprise points to maximize damage. I'm making the "bold" assumption that you wish the destroyed roll applied to the CP and the two damage rolls applied to the loaded TRS.
