SierraJuliet -> 1 May 1942 (9/27/2015 11:13:39 AM)
1 May 1942 Todd’s new found enthusiasm for the game grows. Today he tells me that SNAFU continues to move forward with my Sons of Nippon unaware as to what they will soon reap. Well that is enough to cause any rising sun commander to be nervous. But to follow that up with …wouldn’t an invasion of Japan be awesome!!! I’m fairly sure that Todd is working on a little psych ops here but of course to discount the possibility of the Allies making a move somewhere on my perimeter would be dangerous. HOME ISLANDS SS Narwhal is sighted and attacked at 125,50 near Bihoro. The deep water is her friend and the convoy escorts can’t touch her.

I forgot to change settings this turn but next turn I’ll change the Nates from training to escort and bring in some Oscar to see if we can’t draw some blood from these illegal visitors. I’ve said nothing to Todd so we shall see how this plays out in a couple of turns. Pilot Muranaka R. is reported as to have escaped capture. CV Junyo arrives at Nagasaki/Sasebo.

The battalion already entrenched fairs well whilst the remaining battalion has suffered substantial disablements. In the long run all should go well once the disablements have been sorted. Supply should not be an issue either. In the end fatigue and experience will surely doom the defense unless reinforcements make their way to this isolated outpost. The ships that were hit all have fires in single digits so high hopes there that all fires will be dealt with swiftly.

SierraJuliet -> RE: 14 May 1942 (10/17/2015 4:13:29 AM)
I’m a few days behind in game time but I have a situation and would like some clarification before I send off the next turn. I currently have 18th Division and 18th Medium Field Artillery Regiment in strategic move mode enroute from Nagpur to Jalgaon. This turn (as the graphic displays) they have ended up in the same hex as an Allied LCU. I expect it is the Indian Division which retreated from Hyderabad or possibly one of the support units. My question is can I move my units out of this hex before the combat resolution phase? I certainly can’t afford to sit around here and wait as a sitting target for the troops to reorder themselves into combat mode. I expect I can as movement occurs overnight. More importantly which direction can I move? I’ve included the hex ownership display which shows neither side owning any of the hex sides. I expected the Allied unit would own it but that appears not to be the case. Can I continue on towards Jalgaon (my preferred destination) or should I hot foot it back to Nagpur knowing that I can do this as I definitely own this hex side? Any thoughts on this appreciated. I’ll be sending this move in a few hours. [image]local://upfiles/31385/4A9076A7EA4C41A9BC76A72B07844E4E.jpg[/image]
