The Solomons, 2nd image. The Idaho was damaged and the CP was aborted.

With fighters still in the 3-box, the allies stayed for round 2. This time with rolls of 8/9 the combat was broken off.

JA42 i5 Naval Combats. The last searches are in Polynesia. First round rolls of 4/4 mean one of the subs find and engages in a submarine combat with 3 surprise points. Use two points to lower the ASW to ne. The CP is sunk with the D.

In round 2, search rolls of 10/5 break off the combat.

Well, impulse 5 naval combats were much more interesting, and to the axis favor, than impulse 3 naval combats. Time for bed now and back to this tomorrow.

JA42 i5: Axis Ground Strike.
Apparently the Japanese need to improve their carrier crews ability to find land targets.

JA42 i5: Axis Land Attacks.
Only four land attacks declared, all in North Central Russia.
No axis planes flew support, nor was there any GE HQ support. There are two axis fighters that could intercept the 2 southern most attacks.
Do the Russians wish to fly support?

Last impulse the Japanese were able to put all of the allies in the Mediterranean Theater of Operations (MTO) out of supply by sinking both allied convoys in the Arabian Sea. What has Hitler promised Tojo for such cooperation?! No matter, Churchill orders the RN to reestablish this vital supply line at any cost.

Turn 18. Jul/Aug 1942. Allied #6. Azanian Sea. IJN Intercept Attempt.

In response to PM Churchill's orders the RN sends an unarmed, unescorted transport from its port at Majuaga, Madagascar into the Azanian Sea.

I made the assumption, or call, that the Japanese would wish to try to intercept the transport. The intercept attempt fails and the transport moves into the Arabian Sea and ...

The allies choose not to try to initiate combat in the Azanian Sea. The Japanese should, if they wish, have the opportunity, however, MWiF doesn't give them the chance as I found out later.

1. Would you like to attempt to initiate? If so, I'll initiate with the allies and "reorganize" that unit

Turn 18. Jul/Aug 1942. Allied #6. RN. Arabian Sea.

The RN also sends a CP and heavy cruisers to join the RN transport in the Arabian Sea. The RN chooses not to try to initiate combat. 2. I assume you'd wish to try. If so, the Japanese have one plane that can react. Do you wish to react with the plane and, if so, where?

I don't think I have the option. You moved a unit through the area, but at this point no new units are in the zone (based on your report), so I would not get the chance. If you did leave a new unit in the zone, yes I would initiate and it should be reported as a bug.

OK, not a bug then. Just my misunderstanding.

No reaction with the fighter.
Use the Nachi (sp? last 4 point CA) to initiate. I will be targeting the transport and then the CP with the goal to destroy/clear them from the zone. If possible it may be best to make it a surface battle and not an air battle.

JA42 i7 Axis:
Germany takes a land. Japan and Italy take combined actions.
First up, a CVP in the Coral Sea port strikes Port Villa and the US BB there.
Search rolls of 5/7 result in the Japanese having 2 surprise points. They are used to move the attack up a column to D 2A.
I missed imaging the damage roll, but it was a 3, and the battleship was damaged.

JA42 i7 Naval Combat.
The Japanese moved a CA to the Tasman Sea and the New Zealand Coast.
The Italians move the Gibraltar fleet (2 BB and a CA) to the E. Med 3-box.
The Axis will not initiate in the W. Med, S. China Sea, The Solomons, and the Mendocino sea zones.
In the Arabian Sea the search rolls of 10/4 result in no contact.
In the Tasman Sea the poor convoys had no chance on rolls of 1/10.

ashkpa -> RE: Pat vs Ronnie GW AAR (2/21/2017 3:24:56 AM)

In the New Zealand coast, search rolls of 1/3 result in the Japanese having 6 SP.
They choose a surface battle and use 2 SP to move up a column and 3 SP to choose the first target.
The JP CA takes two A results (passes the first damage roll for a 1/2 A and I decide to have it leave the zone and leave the subs).
The first allied target is the CP (chosen by the Japanese). The US CA makes it's damage control roll and needs to abort.
For sake of timeliness, I'll abort it to Pearl. You can move it later if you wish.

ashkpa -> RE: Pat vs Ronnie GW AAR (2/21/2017 3:33:02 AM)

In the East Med rolls of 4/2 result in both sides finding. The CW has 2 surprise points.
It is a surface battle and you could use the 2 SP to move up the axis damage to 2D 1A or move down the allied damage to 2D 1A.
Which would you prefer?
I also assume you will stay for a round 2.

rkr1958 -> RE: Pat vs Ronnie GW AAR (2/21/2017 11:01:24 PM)

I'll use the 2 SP's to move up damage to axis to 2D and 1A.



ashkpa -> RE: Pat vs Ronnie GW AAR (2/22/2017 1:59:44 AM)

Ok, I assumed you apply your results to the weakest (Naval factor units first).
1 CW CA sunk, 2 IT vessels damaged. See image below

Round 2 searches were 4/8 (only axis found) in following posts
