1940.2 - Witt & PP Axis vs Colt & FMErwinRommel Allies (+25)

[Private-Panic]

France & Yugoslavia were terrible!

Erwin - I believe the original post in the thread needs to be modified. Normally I can do that as author of that post, but not in the Boardgames forum it seems. Leo - can you do so as Moderator?

[Witt]

I did amend it. I think the FM meant fro the Marti rolls. Not sure wecan change the Marti ones.

I hope that has done it, FM. Load the last save, not G1.
Will only know when I do my go, as you cannot get any rolls , as you cannot fight anyone yet.

[Colt45554]

Germans better pick up their ground rolls or this will be a short match  :-D

[Witt]

Luckily for us, I am on our side. Adam can mess up as much as he likes, I shall clean up.

[FMErwinRommel]

Why didn’t Germany use all its infantry from GSG to attack Yugo?  I was expecting a massive attack on turn 2, but with the poor ground results, it may not be as big as feared.  When I try to post the end turn, I often get an error message that says my IP address has already posted within the past 15 seconds, try again later.  This happened when I played against Colt last year and this time, I had to try about 8 times before it accepted it.  I closed Outlook and that didn’t make a diff.

[FMErwinRommel]

Perhaps Germany only intended to weaken Yugo for the Italians, but didn’t go as planned.

Yeah Ruskies snake eyes in Siberia. I have meetings and other activities all day, so won’t be home until late to take U.S. turn. Meanwhile, peace.

We have no intention of DW on the Great United States. We only have intentions in Asia, where the people are weak and sick.

Aggression is the name of the game. China offensive went a crazy 4/6 so let’s see if the dice still favor me.

OOL 97 if scramble?
OOL Tobruk for mech/art

[Witt]

I like to attack both Tobruk and 97.

[Colt45554]

I do recall you mentioning that Witt. Do you place bid in Alex and 98 to accomplish that or can sometimes be done OOB?

[Witt]

OOB is almost always a no. But I have done , if there is only one German Air unit, like this scenario. I think the UK has to be aggressive or it can be too easily dictated to.

No Scramble fo my friend and keep the Art oveer the Mr=ech, please.
