Turn 21. Jan/Feb 1941. Allied #10. RN. Contested Sea Areas. No Combat.

The RN (wisely) chooses not to attempt to initiate a naval combat in these sea areas. The axis, as the non-phasing side, doesn't have the opportunity to try.

Turn 21. Jan/Feb 1941. Allied #10. USN. Bismark Sea.

The USAAF flew out a bomber at extended range to the 4-box of the Bismarck sea. The USAAF will attempt to initiate a naval combat. Shown are the IJN planes which can react.

Instructions for air reactions and for the battle?

Turn 21. Jan/Feb 1941. Allied #10. RN. Arabian Sea.

The RN used 1 of their 2 naval moves (of a combine) to restore supply through the Arabian Sea by moving a transport from Aden to the 1-box of the sea area. No question (in my mind) that the IJN as the non-phasing side will attempt to initiate combat and rid that sea area of the RN transport. The only question is which unit will have the honors of the initiation attempt?

FYI. The other CW naval move was to move a lone CP from Halifax, CAN to the Mexican Coast.

The fighter reacts to the 2-box. Avoid combat if my choice.

Turn 21. Jan/Feb 1943. Allied #10. IJN. The Arabian Sea.

IJN forces are able to find and sink the RN transport, which again break supply through that sea area and to the RN forces in the East Med and CW forces in Egypt.

Thanks for the extra impulse :-). I would have preferred snow - better movement and supply. I'll look at what you left me later tonight. Meeting tonight, so I won't get to my turn till tomorrow.

First up is the Solomons. The axis find, make it a naval air battle and sink the CP and abort the CA. (your bomber if it would have flown, would have had no effect on the sub). If you would have wanted to fly it, feel free to edit it out to the sea zone.

Next up was the Indian ocean where a reverse 10/1 split results in nobody seeing anybody.
Japan chose no searching in the Bismarck Sea and the Bay of Bengal.
Coral Sea rolls of 9/7 resulted in no combat.

In the European theater you have some reactions possible.

1) Faeroes Gap.
Two CW bombers could react. Instructions?

2) The Bay of Biscay. Both the USA and CW have reaction options. The Germans reacted out another fighter bomber (all air shown in the image). Instructions?

1. Faeroes Gap. Swordfish reacts to the 0-box. Sunderland to the 3-box. If the searches go the allies way and they have enough SP's to confidently rid this sea area of the German u-boats then fight, otherwise avoid.

2. Bay of Biscay. RAF Tomhawk P-40 and Spitfire VB to the 0-box. USAAF P-40B to the 2-box. Avoid combat if possible.

The Sunderland can only reach the 2-box from Iceland (10 range on reaction, 5 to the Faeroes gap is one short of the 6 needed to move to the 3-box.

Faeroes Gap
Decided you would fly it to the 2-box.
Search rolls of 1/1 resulted in both finding with not enough surprise to do anything.
Naval Air results in the subs taking a 2A. The saved the first and aborted the second.
2nd round searches of 8/4 resulted in no contact

BoB:
You had two Spitfire VB, I flew the one located on the English Channel.
Search rolls of 6/3 allowed you to avoid the combat.

JF43 i13 Ground Strikes (Wasn't that football game - American - a surprise. Kansas played really well).

Only one ground strike and that is on the Iberian Peninsula. You have some potential reactions.

Yes it was. The Chiefs definitely pulled that one out. I'm sure, though, Brady, Belichick and the rest of the Patriots will make the playoffs.

Spitfire VB in the front along with the Swordfish will intercept.

JF43 i13 Land Attacks.
Only two land attacks. The Japanese are invading an out of supply island just north of Easter New Guinea (in the Bismarck Sea) - automatic. And the Germans are attacking the units just disrupted on the Iberian Peninsula.
The image below outlines all of the possible reactions by the allies and indicates the German air support plans. Instructions?

Also of interest. Four of the German land moves occurred in the Iberian peninsula to move divisions around to improve the attack. The other two took place in Russia, one relatively minor near the Rummanian HQ and the second is shown below. Resulted in the Germans capturing one of the hardest to take (when defended) hexes on the map and the overrun of Russian long range bomber.

Bradley provides HQ support, ships provide maximum shore bombardment support and all planes that can fly as fighters do so and target the axis bombers.
