Turn 16. Mar/Apr 1941. Axis #3. Italy. RM. Italian Coast. Naval Air Battle. Round 1.

The two Italians ships under attack put up withering AA fire. The result, disappointing for the CW to say the least, was that one heavy cruiser was forced to abort.

Turn 16. Allied #5. Weather.

The USA and CW take a combine, the French a naval, USSR and China a land.

rkr1958 -> RE: Global War AAR in Pictures (4/18/2016 3:28:40 AM)

Turn 16. Allied #5. USN. The Solomons.

The USN moves two carrier task forces out to sea to engage the Japanese. The first task forces is composed of the US aircraft carriers Lexington and Saratoga and is sent to the Solomons. A carrier air battle ensues. This is the first naval battle in history where neither side saw the other except from the air.

Well, historically that would be the Battle of the Coral Sea, but in my alternate reality (i.e., this game) that's this battle.

rkr1958 -> RE: Global War AAR in Pictures (4/18/2016 3:31:54 AM)

Turn 16. Allied #5. USN. The Solomons. Naval Air Battle. Round 1.

US carrier pilots have some training to do. They missed on an opportunity to damage one of the IJN's front line aircraft carriers. On the up side, the USN did manage to force the 3 IJN warships in the area to abort.

In return, the USN aircraft carrier Lexington is forced to abort.

For an historical perspective this battle was bloodless compared to the first carrier battle in history, the Coral Sea. The Lex was sunk, but in this alternate reality she was only forced to abort.

Both sides stay but neither search roll succeeds.

rkr1958 -> RE: Global War AAR in Pictures (4/18/2016 3:36:13 AM)

Turn 16. Allied #5. USN. The Marianas. Naval Air Battle. Round 1.

US carrier planes finally find a target. Though they only manage to damage, and abort, the IJN aircraft carrier Hiryu when they had a good chance of sinking it.

Both sides stay but both search rolls fail.

The USN tries but fails to find the enemy.

rkr1958 -> RE: Global War AAR in Pictures (4/18/2016 3:38:21 AM)

rkr1958 -> RE: Global War AAR in Pictures (4/18/2016 3:40:59 AM)

Turn 16. Allied #5. USN. Ground Strike. Truk.

USN carrier planes ground strike Truk in the hopes of disorganizing Yamamoto, the 2-6 armor division or both. However, they manage to only disorganize the 5-2 IJA MIL unit, which requires no oil to reorganize.

rkr1958 -> RE: Global War AAR in Pictures (4/18/2016 3:42:34 AM)

Turn 16. Allied #5. CW. RAF, Port Strike. Brest.

rkr1958 -> RE: Global War AAR in Pictures (4/18/2016 3:44:20 AM)

Turn 16. Allied #5. CW. RN, Port Strike. La Spezia.

The second CW port strike is an RN carrier plane attack on the Italian heavy cruiser and CP in La Spezia. This attack is easily fended off by the Italians.

[image]local://upfiles/31901/1556F1A62B8D4BFB8C885404C40CF79A.jpg[/image]



rkr1958 -> RE: Global War AAR in Pictures (4/18/2016 3:47:31 AM)

Turn 16. Allied #5. RN. Italian Coast.

The RN decides to try to initiate combat off the Italians Coast. However, it's the Italians that find and surprise the RN. As inviting as it was for the Italians to go through with the attack, they opted in the end to avoid combat. Their number one priority is to maintain supply to their forces in North Africa, Libya and the Middle East. Though to what end? Without transports all corps are trapped there. Never the less, it keeps the RN and, hence the CW, busy.

rkr1958 -> RE: Global War AAR in Pictures (4/18/2016 3:48:57 AM)

Turn 16. Allied #5. RN. East Med.

Again the RN decides to try to initiate combat. This time in the East Med. And again, it's the Italian RM that finds, surprises the RN and uses their surprise points to avoid combat.

rkr1958 -> RE: Global War AAR in Pictures (4/18/2016 3:50:42 AM)

Turn 16. Allied #5. RN. Arabian Sea.

The Japanese as the non-phasing player successfully initiate combat against the RN in the Arabian Sea. The result is that a CW CP is sunk and two more are forced to abort. In return both IJN subs were forced to abort to.
