Rematch 4 player game (Orm, Peskpesk, jjdenver and Mayhemizer)

[Mayhemizer_slith]

The most stupid thing was attack in Normandy. Original plan was to attack along coast to west and east (only CW units west and US units east with units from smaller pocket joining the attack). Mid impulse I got a ”better idea”

[Orm]

I expect even more errors than usual because I was in a bit of a hurry. I am sorry about that, I hope that you can figure it out.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Good instructions, almost flawless all the way to the end.

Where do you want to place Japanese TRS? I place it to Fukuoka and can come back if you want it somewhere else.

I go roll initiative

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Axis 2
Allies 9

Allies go first.

I was more than worried, seas (North Sea, West Med, East Med) in Europe were almost empty from escorting ships.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

No invasions in north monsoon

We will not start today, so we will wait if Japanese TRS ended up to right city.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

South African INF in Greece seems to OOS even if US HQI is in adjacent hex. Is that correct or bug? INF was in supply when it was on coastal hex, but it seems US HQ does dot provide supply to INF when it walks inland.

EDIT picture added from test run

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I'm doing a test. During land move phase it seems to be in supply

[Orm]

The TRS ended up right. Thank you.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

DISCLAIMER

JJ didn't have time to plan impulse in the Pacific before I played start of my impulse in Europe. We leave option to change plans completely, but most likely this does not happen. When we ask Axis to react first time there is no turning back.

US box 4 sub in China Sea initiates combat. Lots of planes can fly from 0 to 4 box.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

US initiates in Italian Coast.

Axis can play many planes if they want to.

Currently Axis have 2x NAV3 and 2x FTR2 (7,7) in box 1

[Mayhemizer_slith]

They told me that if we combine plywood, engines, cannons and bombs we will sink that TRS. This is how I imagine this will go...

[Orm]

US box 4 sub in China Sea initiates combat. Lots of planes can fly from 0 to 4 box.

NAV2 in Sasebo to the 0-box, and the NAV3 NW of Hong Kong to the 4-box. Please.

Thank you.

Damn those US subs are good. Or lucky. Allied 1, Axis 7.

Box 0 chosen
