JF42 i5.
What you'll see below is the poorest set of search rolls I have every seen. In the pacific, I had a 40% or better in all zones except one, where I rolled a 3 and needed a 2. I did find in one zone and destroyed 2 CP. But I was not able to cut supply to the Philippines.

CVB, Skua reacted to 0-box. Rolls of 8/7 resulted in no contact.
Central Atlantic, sub initiated and Blenhiem flew to 3-box. Rolls of 5/8 results in no contact.
Polynesia, sub in 3-box initiates. Rolls of 9/10 result in no contact
China Sea Hagura initiates and JP fighter flys to 0-box. Rolls of 8/10 result in no contact.
Central Pacific sub initiates. Rolls of 9/10 result in no contact.
Marianne's the fighter initiates. Rolls of 10/9 result in no contact.
In the East Indian Ocean the JP CA initiates (both vessels are now disorganized). Rolls of 1/5 result in the destruction of both CPs.
W. Indian Ocean a CA initiates. Rolls of 3/10 result in no contact (could have gotten the Queen's).
Cape Naturaliste the CV initiates (both vessels now disorganized). Rolls of 8/6 result in no contact.
No combat initiated in the Marshalls
South China Sea the Ashigara initiates (it and the Idtumo should be disorganized). Rolls of 10/6 result in no contact.

Pat, I hope this is ok but I took the liberty of moving the Soviet CA Voroshilov from the force pool and putting him in Leningrad. I don't know if you've been following a couple of other threads where this has been discussed but the Voroshilov should have arrived for the Soviets in May/June 1940.

The RN will run four naval groups into the Eastern Med.

Group 1 (Malta) - RN CA Berwiok
Group 2 (Malta) - Spanish CA Miguel ed Cervantes
Group 3 (Malta) - RN BB Nelson and (empty) Transport
Group 4 (Port Said) RN CA Palnoja (4-2)

1. Do the axis wish to intercept?

2. If so, which groups and which unit would they like to use for the attempt?

quote:

Turn 15. Jan/Feb 1941. Allied #7. RN, Bay of Biscay.

The RN will NOT attempt to initiate combat here.

3. Do the axis wish to try?

4. If so, which unit would you like to use and, if possible, do you wish to add any additional air units to the mix?

quote:

unescorted CPs located at Pago Pago moved into the Polynesian sea. I made an assumption that you would wish to attempt an intercept, which failed. If this was a bad assumption on my part I can "reorganize" the 5-3 sub that was used for the attempt.

5. Did you wish to have attempted that intercept?

The CW will Not attempt to initiate combat in the East Med.

1. I assume that the axis will want to try. Correct?

Turn 15. Jan/Feb 1942. Allied #7. USN. China Sea. Attempt to Initiate Combat.

The USN 4-sub will attempt to initiate combat in the China Sea.

4. Do the Japanese wish to add any additional air? If so, where?

5. What are your orders if combat proceeds?

By the way, the USN also has a sub unit (4-3) in the 2-box of the Sea of Japan.

No

5. What are your orders if combat proceeds?

If I find with the 4-box, the CA will engage the subs only in surface combat (unless the split delta is 8 in which case include the US CPs).
If I have 2-3 SP move your attack column down 1 to ne.
If I have 4-5 SP move my attack column up 2 to D 3A.
If I have 6-7 SP move my attack column up 3 to 2D 3A.
If I have 8+ SP move your attack column down 1 and mine up as far as possible.
Fly the NAV in Tokyo to the 0-box of the Sea of Japan.
