Seemed simple enough, but I went three iterations \u00a0calculating basic ground combat odds, air support\/escort allocation and air combat. \u00a0Ugly. \u00a0The final outcomes are disjointedly summarized below.<\/p>\n
Hex 4825 – The 11th Armored Division attacked a lone artillery unit. \u00a0The basic 5:1 odds were accompanied by an AECA of +3. \u00a0Axis air support included 2 ME-110s flying escort for a DO-17 bomber and Mixed Attack Squadron. \u00a0Both Turkish interceptors managed to penetrate the screen, but could not shoot down any bombers. \u00a0The revised odds were 7:1, +3 to the die roll. \u00a0The artillery unit was eliminated.<\/p>\n
This attack set up \u00a0the possibility of a ZOC kill for the attack on Hex 4727.<\/p>\n
Hex 4727 – Axis 46th and 11th Corps with 54 total factors. \u00a0Their AECA was 1\/3 or a -1 die modifier. \u00a0The Turks had an armored division and cavalry division with a total of 11 strength points. \u00a0Their AECD was over 1\/2 or a +2 modifier. \u00a0The basic odds were 54:11 or 4:1, with a net +1 die modifier. \u00a0Three JU-87s along with ME-109 and Me-110 escorts were assigned to the ground support mission. \u00a0The Turks responded by flying their P-40 squadron on an intercept mission. \u00a0The P-40 bypassed both escorts and shot down one JU-87. \u00a0The final odds were 62:11, or 5:1, -1 die modifier. \u00a0The die roll was a 4, -1 or 3, for a defender retreat result. \u00a0The cavalry unit was eliminated during the retreat, and the armored division cadred.<\/p>\n
Hex 4429 – The 18th Mountain Corps and 52nd Corps attacked with 35 factors, supported by two squadrons of He-111s and a Ju-88A1 squadron. \u00a0The hex was guarded by an infanty division and border guards. \u00a0The resulting odds were 42:7 or 6:1. \u00a0The Axis rolled an exchange(!!!). \u00a0The Turkish infantry division was cadred and then eliminated during retreat. \u00a0The border unit was eliminated. The Axis cadred a winterized infantry division.<\/p>\n
Hex 4924 – The 40th and 40 corps, with 45 strength points and an AECA of +3, attacked a Turkish division supported by an A-19 squadron. \u00a0The final odds were 45:7, or 6:1 with a +3 die modifier. \u00a0The Turkish division was eliminated.<\/p>\n Seemed simple enough, but I went three iterations \u00a0calculating basic ground combat odds, air support\/escort allocation and air combat. \u00a0Ugly. \u00a0The final outcomes are disjointedly summarized below.
