TWB Sample Turn

Air Operations - Frame 1

Axis

• air interdiction - 4 airfields are attacked and 3 closed, at two fields 3 steps based there are hit hard losing 9 a/c(3x3) each while at the other two moderated damage is done to one step based there(2x1)= 9+9+2+2 = 22 a/c destroyed on the ground
• supply interdiction - north supply route has two villes closed reducing the 2nd NZ movement from 6 to 4, central supply route has 2 villes closed reducing the 4th Ind movement from 6 to 4. South supply route has 3 villes closed reducing the 1st SA from 6 to 3 and the 7th Arm from 8 to 5. 4 points scored from these attacks.
• fuel interdiction - mechili and appolonia were closed and three oil tankers sunk off Derna. Next frame the axis must only carry 75% fuel on all a/c.
• tac air - 7th Arm tanks attacked and 8 tanks destroyed reducing its strength by one. Fort Maddelena and Tobruk garrison bombed reducing their strength by 1 and 2 respectively.
• spec ops - two missions completed successfully

Allies

• air interdiction - 4 airfields are attacked and 4 closed, at two fields 3 steps based there are hit hard losing 9 a/c(3x3) each while at the other two moderated damage is done to two steps based there(2x2) = 9+9+4+4 = 26 a/c destroyed on the ground.
• supply interdiction - north supply route has two villes closed and Sollum town closed reducing the 90th Light movement to 3, 15th and 21st PZ movement from 8 to 5, central supply route has 2 villes closed reducing the Ariete movement from 6 to 4. South supply route has 3 villes closed reducing the Trieste from 4 to 1. 8.5 points scored for these attacks mainly for the closure of Sollum(5 pts).
• fuel interdiction - mersa matruh, garawla and tobruk were bombed with the first two closed and a oil tanker sunk off Tobruk. Next frame the allies must only carry 85% fuel on all a/c.
• tac air - 21st Panzer attacked and 14 tanks destroyed reducing its strength by two. Sollum garrison was bombed reducing their strength by 2.
• spec ops - two missions completed successfully

Ground Operations - For Frame 2

Supply Line Damage - showing the damage to supply lines for both sides and their effect on the resultant movement before Frame 2

Allied Movement First 3 units - Allies have strategic advantage and can move 3 units before the axis to start Frame 2

• 1st SA moves 4 locations to V55, this protects the left flank of the British offensive.
• 7th Arm moves 5 locations to D77, this the left hook into the rear of the Axis frontier.
• 2nd NZ moves forward 4 locations to Sollum where it is stopped by the garrison, this stops the Axis from running their units through Sollum to the Allied rear.

Final Movements - axis and allies swap movement of their final units to start Frame 2.

• 15th PZ moves 4 locations to V52, this protects Sidi Omar from attack.
• 4th Ind moves 2 locations to V100, this protects the Allied centre.
• 90th Light moves 3 locations to Sollum where it is stopped by the 2nd NZ.
• 2nd SA moves from the rear by rail 3 locations to approach Sollum from the south where it is stopped by the garrison and 90th Light.
• 21st Panzer moves 4 locations to V42 to protect the rear supply lines from a sortie by 70th Inf.

Combat - announced and resolved after Frame 2 air ops are finished. Each side will try and reduce the strength of those units in combat with tac air. This will help the final odds and results for the ground combat that occurs after Frame 2 is over but before movement occurs for the next frame.

• 2nd NZ and 2nd SA attack Sollum Garrison and 90th Light
• 4th Indian attacks Sidi Omar Garrison
• Ariete and 15th Panzer attack 7th Arm at Bir El Gubi

Score Board

1. 1 pt per 6 a/c shotdown in air combat(all causes of confirmed kills even FF)
2. 1 pt per 12 a/c destroyed on ground by airfield interdiction
3. 0.5 pt per grass, 1 pt per small, 2 pts per CV, 3 pts per medium/large
4. 0.5 pt per village, 2 pt per depot, 5 pts per town
5. 0.5 pt per ville, 1 pt per port, 5 pts per town
6. 2 pts per freighter sunk
7. 1 pt per 8 tanks destroyed
8. 1 pt per spec ops mission success

* - totals for both sides are pro-rated based upon that frames turnout. For example if one side has 91 and the other 71 the smaller side has its total point score increased by 128%(91/71 = 1.28)

Unit Table

First value is strength value of ground unit and the second value is the movement value. The basic movement value is effected by air attacks on supply lines during the frame. Movement of ground units occurs after the frame is over. The side that won the most points in the frame gets to decide if it will move first or last. Each side moves one unit at a time at which point its movement is ruled on by the CM and placed onboard for the other side to see. Units must use roads or tracks and only the Allies may use railways. Units must stop when they come within 6-8 miles of an enemy unit or garrison. Each side may order an attack for the upcoming frame which will be resolved after the frame when all loses to air attack have been calculated. Such attacks do not have to be along roads or tracks just against enemy units or garrisons within 6-8 miles of them.
