I gotta run … sorry if you were hoping to get Italy in today.

[JamesAleman]

That’s where I though America was moving :) Egypt is going to be a close fight.

[rocknroll]

i am sorry to interfere here, but i´d like to follow your game. but, every time i try to open your maps i cannot. it always shows a really bad map of classic then. so, what version of battlemap did you install, which module?

greetings

rock`n roll

[wheatbeer]

for rock 'n roll:

Abattlemap .80 and TMTM (3.1 I think) … links to both would be in the thread titled:

Sgt. Wonko’s & TMTM’s 1940 Global Module for ABattlemap

This thread’s stickied on the Global 1940 section of the forum.

for james:

So much for surprise  :-P

Germany Turn 7:

Note: If you fail to block sz112 with the French transport, ignore this move, I may want to try to seize UK (16-3inf,3art,5ftr,4tac,bmbr vs 17 defenders) otherwise continue below:

z112 no German losses, French dd dies
Nov Germany loses inf, USSR loses 2inf,art

Note: USSR gains 5 IPC NO for no German warships in z125, Arch courteously left in USSR’s control.  :evil:

Non Combat Move:

To Nukr: 3arm-Bry

Western Front:
Wfr: 2inf
z110: Destroyer
Fra: inf
Wgr: 4 mech

Eastern Front:
Nukr: 3 arm
Sukr: 3 arm
Collection: 85
62-2 Convory+25 (5 NO’s) =85

Note: scramble orders in Italy’s write up: z97 3 ftr vs USSR and US attacks, only scramble if UK sends 4 or less units and no landing is taking place on Sita

OOL: Sita: 11inf-I, 6mech-G, 2arm-I, arm-G, 3ftr-G
OOL: Nita: 7 inf-I, 11 inf-G, 3 art-I

If you don’t block with France, I reserve the right to move my sub elsewhere, likely z119, 2 more ftrs will be in Sita and the DD will be in z113. To save time, you can post a tentative USSR as I might still want to hit UK.

I guess if you don’t block, just post France, and I’ll redo Germany as needed.

Summary: Operation Seppuku did not go off as planned-I never pulled the Japanese air force towards USSR. It appears to have been successful in keeping 28 USSR units out of USSR on turn 8 when I expect to capture with approximately 6-14 artillery and 11 armor remaining. (We’ll see what you and the dice have in mind.)  :-D My original planned called for sacking USSR on turn 10 or 11, but Italy was too hamstrung by the R2 attack at z96, I almost placed the DD in z94-that will teach me, I only looked at them going to Egy and dismissed the threat. As a result (5 turns later), losing Egypt will be tricky for the axis-That was my only goal for Italy the whole game :(, My Japanese moves are going to change as a result, it’ll be less planned, but I have a 3-5 turn agenda in mind. By turn 15,  I expect a resolution; the game will be over or clear for one side or the other. I never got a chance to seize Spain :( and catch the allied fleet unaware. I only set up for it a couple of rounds, that was the exciting move I was debating.

This is a very fun game. I can’t wait to see what happens.

OOL: Bal (I just realized you can hit and land in Arch-almost protected them in Bel with mech-oh well, less defenders in Mow)
Bmbr, (if I hit 3 times and you hit 3 or less round 1-remove 2 ftrs first; otherwise:), 4 tac, 2 ftr.
