Using slides of maps, and forumini for dice rolls. Until i get around to getting a new photo hosting service
lets randomly decide sides
1. USA 2. UK 3. France 4. Italy 5. Germany 6. All European Minors Combined 7. Commonwealth Combined 8. Netherlands 9. Soviet Union 10. Japan 11. Neutrals Combined
KWRaRmh22d11 first dice is player force, second is enemy force. sum x10 is starting points
All European minors versus the commonwealth nations. My starting points are 130, the enemy has 260.
With regards to carriers Australia - Colossus Canada - Colossus, Nabob Spain - Independence/Princeton
With regards to battleships Turkey, Sweden and Spain have battleships Admiral Lattore was formerly HMS Canada The nearest to the HMAS Australia is the Yavuz
Yavuz(*) 24/24 Adrias 6/30 Canarias(*) 12/42 Stord 9/51 Gotland 10/61 Nuoli x 6/61 Piorun 8/69 Regina Maria 7/76
Landbased Aircraft Blenhiem 5/81 Ju88 A4/R 7/88
Representative units from each fleet and 2 patrol bombers that can defend out the sealanes adjacent to our base. This is oversight in the setup an regulations. As written, 2 of the 3 border sectors will fall at the end of round 1 as there will be no taskforces to guard them as you begin with one and no opportunity to create guard fleets was written in. That said, it could be that auxiliaries could fill that role. Good thinking 99 lol. So lets add a pair of auxiliaries to act as independent guard ships and make an note to amend the rules after the test had gone through.
Independent Aux's Amiral Murgecu 5/93 Dacia 4/97
We can sneak a USS Independence and a F2A3 Buffalo into this taskforce. Selected the buffalo since thats a finnish unit. Give the defenders the sea hurricane option for their carriers as well.
Independence 15/112 F2A3 5 /117
Collating all of this we have
First Battlegroup (100 pts max) Yavuz(*) 24/24 Adrias 6/30 Canarias(*) 12/42 Stord 9/51 Gotland 10/61 Nuoli x 6/61 Piorun 8/69 Regina Maria 7/76 Independence 15/91 F2A3 5/96
17, a Deploy a FAS on your territory. I'll pop that in B2
The Auxiliaries hold their defensive position, and the BG1 moves into B1, then B3 and thus battle will be joined. What kind of taskforce does the commonwealth fleet assemble to meet us Jzc7Rtx21d61d6
Think I might have a bit of fun. Bearing in mind that the enemy had many more points than us, HMS Colossus 12, Seahurricane x2 10/22 Australia 12/34 Canberra 15/49 Arunta 7/56 Nizam x2 16/72 Perth 12/84 DAP Beaufighter x2 100

european forces move under smoke to engage the northern objective while gotland guards the southern flank the australian cruisers move in to extreme gun range of the leading European destroyers, careful to avoid triggering a torpedo attack. The N Class destroyersguard the island where the euro mtbs have taken shelter.
fighters return to cap, as the patrol bombers rearm. no Aa or air attacks are made.
