Let’s add to Yugo battle the TAC from Poland.

Let’s not forget Yugoslavia combat:

6 INF and 2 ART from S. Germany.
2 INF, 1 ARM, 1 FTR from Hungary.
1 INF and 1 ARM from Romania.

Game started.

Germany 1

Purchases: 1 Carrier, 2 Transports

Combat:

sz106: 1 DD vs. 2 subs - one from sz117 and the other from sz118.

sz110: 1 BB and Cruiser vs. 2 subs (sz 103,108), 3 TAC and 2 FTR from W. Germany, 1 FTR Norway (I know you can scramble 2 UK FTR’s here, but I doubt you will, as you still have 98% probability for AXIS victory. I’m still going to ask if you want to scramble before resolving this zone in combat).

sz112: 2 Cruisers vs. 1 sub from sz124, 1 BB and Cruiser from sz113

W.France:
3 INF, 2 ART, 1 FTR from Hol
1 BMB from Germany proper

France:
1 INF, 3 ARM from Hol
2 ARM S.Germany
3 INF, 4 MECH, 1 ART from W.Germany
1 TAC from Germany

Bulgaria activation with 1 INF from Romania.

Finland activation with 1 INF from Norway.

Do you scramble in 110?

I would like to start a game playing the Axis, any takers?

I suppose we should observe the new turn order:

Turn Order:
1st. Germany
2nd. Soviet Union
3rd. Japan
4th. United States
5th. China
6th. UK
7th. Italy
8th. ANZAC
9th. France

Now that I read more on the thread, it appears that idea was scrapped. Pity.

Say, are my opponents willing to play with Larry’s Convoy Disruption rules being developed (http://www.harrisgamedesign.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=6322)? Sounds like they’ll be added shortly, anyway.

Russia 1

Purchases: 1 FTR, 2 ARM, 5 INF = 37 IPC

NCM:

sz127 Sub to sz112
Amu 3 INF to Bury and 3 INF to Sak
Sak 1 AA to Bury
Vyborg 3 INF to Karelia
Archangel 1 INF to Novgorod
Belarus 1 INF to Baltic States
EPoland 2 INF to Baltic States
North Ukraine 1 ART and INF to E. Poland
Bessarabia 2 INF to E. Poland
S. Ukraine 3 INF to Bessarabia
Caucasus 2 INF to Rostov
Volgograd 1 ARM and mech to Bryansk
Russia 1 INF and ART to Smolensk
Russia 1 ARM and Mech to Belarus
Russia 1 FTR and TAC to Novgorod

Place FTR and 2 ARM in Novgorod, and 5 INF in Moscow.

Russia collects 37 IPCs.

JimandStirl vs. Cromwell Russia 1.AAM

I noticed N. Italy still has a Tac Bomber. This was exchanged for a Strategic Bomber per A3 setup - you added a Strat BMB, but forgot to remove the Tac. I’ll update that on the map after my Russia move.

No scramble in sz 110 for game 2.

Thanks for offering the option of low luck. I read some about it on the forums. I’ll pass, I guess, as it could be argued that this game simulates the anticipation a commander has in the efforts of those he commands without the control to predict it. If we can predict outcome of battles, 1) I might as well be playing Chess and 2) It endangers the feeling of a commander over his army. So, the only real option is to embrace the truth that war can be lost, though perfectly commanded, I suppose.

I understand. That was a remarkably bad roll.  Evidently, you should win that battle over 90% of the time, according to my odds calculator. Norway was also over 90% for victory for you. This makes me want to play Chess and eschew all lesser games.

If you like, you could re-roll all of your combat again for game 2, if you’re satisfied with your combat movements; if not, just start again from scratch while I can still stand to be away from my chessboard, heh.
