To you for retreat decisions in Battles 1(VV20), 6(TT17), and 3(EE5). If you retreat from all Battles the Combat Phase is over and it is your NPR&T. |

Look at message 4 in this Journal for what I mean by Battle Instructions As a sample here is what it would mean for you this turn. As you don't oppose either Minesweep there are no Battles at Helsinki or Constanta so there are no Air or Naval Battles. There are no Blitz Battles so you will be writing instructions for only regular Battles Battle 1(VV20) at -1: What do you want to do? On a 6 you must retreat. On a 1 or 4 I must retreat. On other rolls you get to decide before I do if you want to retreat before I get the option. If you do wish to retreat where do you go? same procedure for each Battle. Certain Battles you needn't give instructions; I will always die in Battle 2 and since you have no retreat in Battle 5 your only option is to fight until you die or I retreat. Your most likely IMHO instructions for Battle 1 are: Battle 1(VV20) at -1: Retreat to WW20 if mandatory. or Battle 1(VV20) at -1: Retreat to WW20 if possible. One instruction is designed to maximize your advance. The other is designed to convert the rail at WW20 as cheaply as possible. But it is your choice and if you tell me I can do it in the combat vlog. Since you removed your Air at Brest-Litovsk from Battle 5 to you wish to add it to any other Battle? If I were you I'd add an Air to Battles 2,3, and 4 to lower the chance my dying units give you a Hit but if you have other plans that require them transfer further that would not work. But if not a -3, -5, -5 does on average roughly 1 less Hit than the current situation. |

note the Air at Helsinki and Constanta either oppose the Minesweeps or stay put as the Air supporting the Minesweeps trap them in the hex. From my message directly before this one. The fundamental rule is if you are in a hex that has a Battle Box you are trapped in that Battle Box. After all the airfields aren't near the frontlines either yet a -5 ground attack traps any Naval or Air in that hex. We have an exception in our agreed rules that Naval doing a Minesweep/Minelay don't trap the Air which is why I needed to add the Air unit. If you don't want to do Battle Instructions then don't but combat will involve a lot more file exchanges. Will wait until you confirm this to do combat file. A few other details. It is legal to fly the German Air to Battle 5(Vinnitsa R8) but they will have no effect. Rule 11.9.1: "Axis air units may not be used to support combats involving Axis naval or ground units of a different nationality. For example, a German air unit may not be used to support a Romanian ground unit." When you create a Battle like at Constanta where there wasn't one before it is nice to state the Battle column so we can confirm we are in agreement. The Air Battle is at +2. As you only have one step your Air unit must die so the Naval odds will be as follows. If my Air survives +7 if you defend with R flotilla or +6 if you defend with Ger unit. If my Air dies as well +3 if you defend with R flotilla or +1 if you defend with Ger unit. |

To you for NP Naval(since you can't leave Constanta or Helsinki you either oppose the Minesweeps or not). NP Air, note the Air at Helsinki and Constanta either oppose the Minesweeps or stay put as the Air supporting the Minesweeps trap them in the hex. You can tell me here if you oppose or not and if so with which units. Then your Battle Instructions so I can do the Combats. |

Posting the very short vlog of moves that need a response at Dropbox. If we disagree on the OOS units this file is null and void. So. Agree with OOS file then go to move file and state your response decisions here. Disagree with OOS file we will fix and agree and I will do a new move file. |

That was quick. You fixed it while I was writing my correction. Everything is fine now but a reminder I can't move in the other game until you answer my question about your NP Naval. |

Units doing a Blitz Movement may not initiate a combat. Rule 11.7.2.4. Units using Blitz Pursuit may follow the initial defending unit(assuming it does not enter a Major or Fortress City and it has sufficient Movement Points). Please correct. From the errata in the AH General Issue 24 #1 pages 39 and 40:"Revise the second sentence of 11.7.2.4 to read: This movement may include supporting units but may not be into hexes occupied by enemy ground units, although it can cause normal response movement by enemy ground units (including those retreated from previous blitz battle location hexes and not pursued)."

Blitz Battle 17(Z4) Response options. If 6th Infantry is alive and not pursued responds to first enemy unit that goes from Y5 to Y6. This would be very bad for you; see last sentence of 11.7.2.4 "Battles caused by response movement during blitz movement are not marked with a blitz unit" so it shouldn't happen. If alive and you did pursue I will not respond to the first of your two free Armor no matter what the Blitz move. I will respond to second Armor if it moves Y5 to Y6 if your first Armor Blitz moved to W6 or W7. I will respond to the second Armor if it moves Y6 to X6. If I died in the first round in the initial Blitz Battle so you have three free Armor I wont respond to the Blitz movement of any Armor |

Battle Instructions You must first do Air Battles, we have none. Next you do Naval Battles, we have none. After that Blitz Battles, we have three. I am only giving instructions for the Blitz Battles as after Blitz Movement many of my possible retreats won't be possible as you will have an Armor there and it is easier to see my actual options than to write a long set of conditional instructions. Blitz Battle 13(LL6) at +6: Retreat to KK77 if possible. If pursued retreat to JJ7 if possible. No possible response moves to Blitz Movement Blitz Battle 14(GG7) at +7: Retreat to GG8 if possible. If pursued retreat to GG9 if possible. Will not respond to any Blitz Movement Blitz Battle 17(Z4) at +7. Retreat to Z5 if possible. If pursued retreat to Y5, Y6, Z6 if possible. When I list retreats in order like this do the first retreat that is legal. |

No NP Naval No NP Air: Using the Leningrad Air in Battle 18(TT17) is tempting but I find the threat of being able to transfer to Gomel more important. Others would play it differently. |

First a reminder that you have the right to see my NP Naval before you do your phasing Air. Not important given your move but a reminder. Second we disagree on the following Battle columns. Battle 15(FF6) is +7 not +6. Defender 3 + 1(river) = 4. Attacker 5(ground unit) + 1(first turn bonus to ground unit) + 4(air unit) + 1(first turn bonus to Air unit) = 11 Battle 12(II7) is +6 not +4 Defender 2 + 1(woods) + 1(river) = 4. Attacker 4(ground unit) + 1(first turn bonus to ground unit) + 4(Air unit) + 1(first turn bonus to Air unit) = 10. Battle 5(NN5) is +7 not +5. Defender 3 + 1(woods) = 4. Attacker 5(ground unit) + 1(first turn bonus to ground unit) + 4(Air unit + 1(first turn bonus to Air unit) = 11 |
