Witt and his Private Panic, 40 Balanced

[Witt]

Is from the game between Nerquen and Gamerman.

[Witt]

Uou have to be at war to get them, so uou have time to learn them

[Private-Panic]

So the ones I posted in our 40G thread and copied below are correct?

We have agreed that the North African NO, the Holland, Normandy, South France NO, the Indian Ocean NO, and the Samoa Gilbert national objectives are not given to Allies.

For the reference, the additional NOs thus are:

Additional National Objectives

Russia
*  3 PUs if Russia is at war with European Axis and there are no non-Russian Allied units present in any originally Russian territory.
*  3 PUs for each originally German, Italian, or Pro-Axis neutral territory that Russia controls in mainland Europe (This replaces Russia’s  “Spread of Communism” objective).
*  2 PUs for each of the following Lend-Lease lanes that is “open” (i.e., the specified Sea Zone has no enemy warships and the corresponding territory is Allied controlled) when Russia is at war with European Axis: (1) sz 125, Archangel ; (2) sz 80, Persia; (3) sz 5, Amur (This replaces Russia’s original “Lend Lease” objective).
*  An additional 2 PUs per each open Lend-Lease if Japan has declared war on Russia.

Japan
*  5 PUs if Axis controls Dutch New Guinea, New Guinea, New Britain, and Solomon Islands. (This replaces Japan’s original “Strategic Perimeter” objective).
*  5 PUs if Axis controls Midway, Wake Island, and Guam.

USA
*  5 PUs if USA is at war and Allies control Midway, Wake Island, Guam.
*  5 PUs if USA is at war and Allies control Marshall Islands, Caroline Islands, Paulau Island, Marianas.
*  5 PUs if Allies control at least 2 of: Normandy Bordeaux, Holland Belgium, Southern France, and USA has at least one land unit in any of these territories.
*  5 PUs if Allies control Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, and USA has at least one land unit in any of these territories.

UK
*  3 PUs for UK Europe if Allies control at least 2 of: Sicily, Sardinia, Greece.
*  3 PUs for UK Europe if Malta, Crete, and Cyprus are Allied or pro-Allied controlled.
*  3 PUs for UK Europe if there are no enemy submarines in the Atlantic, excluding szs 112 and 125-127.
*  3 PUs for UK Pacific when at war with the Japanese if: (1) British control West India and either Egypt or South Africa; and (2) there are no enemy submarines in the western half of the Indian Ocean (sz71,…,sz81).

Italy
*  3 PUs if Malta, Cyprus, and Crete are Axis controlled.

ANZAC
*  3 PUs if ANZAC is at war with Japan, and Allies (not including the Dutch) control Dutch New Guinea, New Guinea, New Britain, and Solomon Islands. (This replaces ANZAC’s “Strategic Islands” Objective).
*  3 PUs if ANZAC is at war with Japan, and Gilbert Islands, Fiji, and Samoa are allied controlled.

Thanks for finding them. Is a lot of money for the Allies: you must win!

[Private-Panic]

I think you know me better than that!

I note the sentence: We have agreed that the North African NO, the Holland, Normandy, South France NO, the Indian Ocean NO, and the Samoa Gilbert national objectives are not given to Allies.

Presumably that is a variation that does not apply in this case?

[Private-Panic]

Actually I can make out from the unreadable picture you sent me that they are crossed out, so presumably that sentence does apply?

Scramble from Italy?

I e-mailed you a screen print re China’s Burma Road NO?

[Witt]

At work. What has attacked my fleet, please?

[Witt]

Just 6 units (including the CV) against my 5 units?
Definitely scramble the 3 Fts . Not the German Tac

And have you not attacked the Battleship and not used the Scottish Ft and one of the English ones? Did uou forget?

Thx Witt - I did mean to attack the BB - are you happy for me to redo?

On the scramble I thought I had more than that - I did check - one of yours is a TT of course. With your 3 fighters I still have over 50%. If I made a mistake I will live with that one as it’s not a simple oversight.

Will take another look in the morning.

[Witt]

Hou should attack it. Have another look.

Well - sz 97 was okay. Ethiopia was tough - despite bring overwhelming force to bear.

Interesting the UK British Empire NO reduced as well - from 5 ipcs to 3. My net position so far on NO is -2 ipcs. Should improve when the USA gets involved.

[Witt]

Went well for you and now Italy has no Fts with which to counterattack.
The NOs will kick in when Russia and Ameruca are at war.

Thanks for going your go. You are my only game at the moment. Elrood is away until Tues or Wed, so the Team Games aren’t living either.
I will be busy though, as is almost Valentine’s and Al will be 30 on the 13th. We are going to London for two days on the 15th.
