Turn 21. Jan/Feb 1943. Allied #6. Bismarck Sea. Round 1.

Both sides successfully find each other. The USN air to air is lethal resulting in the downing of the Japanese fighter. However, in return, the Japanese AA blunts all but 1 USN bomb. The Japanese then use their 2 SP to shift the attack column down to ineffective.

The USN stays. Do the Japanese stay? If so, do they wish to react out any additional air?

React out the A6M3 (Reisen) to the 2-box.



ashkpa -> RE: Pat vs Ronnie GW AAR (8/31/2017 1:45:43 AM)

I will be out for the next couple of hours.

Turn 21. Jan/Feb 1943. Allied #6. Bismarck Sea. Round 2.

Searches go the USN's way. Air to air goes slightly in favor of the Japanese with the American fighter shot down but with both bomber units getting through.

The USN has 4 surprise points. They use 2 to reduce IJN AA to no effect and 2 to increase expected damage from X, A to X, D and A. The Japanese make all three of their damage rolls.

With the IJN transport damaged, which was the goal of this raid, the USN leaves the area (i.e., aborts) before a round 3. With the exception of the USS Hornet, which has no planes, all ships return to Brisbane, AUS. The Hornet returns to Pearl.

ashkpa -> RE: Pat vs Ronnie GW AAR (9/2/2017 8:47:26 PM)

Many naval moves by the Italians and Japanese. Italians flew a bomber and fighter to the 1-box of the BoB.
Here is the list of potential naval actions.

ashkpa -> RE: Pat vs Ronnie GW AAR (9/2/2017 8:48:28 PM)

Started with the E. Med.
The allies find on rolls of 6/3. What do you wish to do?

[image]local://upfiles/47448/B69A9F96558E4085AB0702704BDCB450.jpg[/image]



ashkpa -> RE: Pat vs Ronnie GW AAR (9/2/2017 8:58:14 PM)

While awaiting your decision, I went on to the N. Atlantic. Here the rolls of 4/2 resulted in both of us finding. You have 3 SP and can spend them either to increase your damage to me from ne to 2A or decrease the damage to you from A to ne. What is your choice?

[image]local://upfiles/47448/C37EC6B5AA404C4BA35FD0A370BF2CED.jpg[/image]



rkr1958 -> RE: Pat vs Ronnie GW AAR (9/2/2017 10:29:47 PM)

E. Med. Select box 0. Use SP to avoid combat.

N. Atlantic. Use SP to increase damage against Italian subs.



ashkpa -> RE: Pat vs Ronnie GW AAR (9/2/2017 10:55:20 PM)

All engaged forces aborted. I sent the CA back to Ponta Delgado, Azores.

ashkpa -> RE: Pat vs Ronnie GW AAR (9/2/2017 10:56:33 PM)

Onto the Bay of Biscay.
Italians reacted another fighter and the Germans three fighters, all to the 1-box.

What will be your reactions? Possible units shown.

rkr1958 -> RE: Pat vs Ronnie GW AAR (9/2/2017 11:02:16 PM)

0-box. US P-38 fighter. CW Hurricane fighter.
1-box. CAN Hurricane fighter. US P-38 fighter.



ashkpa -> RE: Pat vs Ronnie GW AAR (9/2/2017 11:39:17 PM)

All that and search rolls of 6/6 resulted in no combat.



ashkpa -> RE: Pat vs Ronnie GW AAR (9/2/2017 11:49:17 PM)

Arabian Sea, rolls of 1/10 result in me finding you. I will engage both boxes. I will not make it an A-Sea, will you?

rkr1958 -> RE: Pat vs Ronnie GW AAR (9/3/2017 1:49:19 AM)

Yes, I will make it an air to sea. Gladiator flies as a fighter and targets the NAV. Will stay until status of IJN NAV is determined.



ashkpa -> RE: Pat vs Ronnie GW AAR (9/3/2017 2:34:17 AM)

Air battle went the axis way big time (spend 2 SP to lower allied A-A).
8 SP used to increase attack columns (AA was ineffective against 1 bomber).
I'm assuming you will not stay with transport and a CA damaged and the CV and other CA aborted. Nobody will be in the zone after the combat.

ashkpa -> RE: Pat vs Ronnie GW AAR (9/3/2017 2:42:56 AM)

Axis did not initiate in the Bay of Bengal.
In Cape Naturaliste the rolls again went he axis way 1/8, resulting in both CP's being sunk.

ashkpa -> RE: Pat vs Ronnie GW AAR (9/3/2017 2:48:47 AM)

Coral Sea rolls of 5/8 resulted in no combat.
SE Indian Ocean rolls of 6/1 resulted in no combat.

Next up is the Marianas.
I did not react any plans out. You have an option for the plane on wake to react?
Will it and any other instructions?

rkr1958 -> RE: Pat vs Ronnie GW AAR (9/3/2017 3:46:44 AM)

No reaction.



ashkpa -> RE: Pat vs Ronnie GW AAR (9/3/2017 4:02:35 AM)

In The Marianas the search roll are 6/5. Meaning the Allies find and can select which box to engage. Picking either the 0 or 1 box should allow you to avoid or destroy those box occupants.

rkr1958 -> RE: Pat vs Ronnie GW AAR (9/3/2017 4:02:34 PM)

Pick the 0 and 1 boxes. Use surprise points to force a surface battle. Sink/abort Tone and CP. After this round, the USN aborts and returns back to Pearl.



ashkpa -> RE: Pat vs Ronnie GW AAR (9/3/2017 6:20:35 PM)

I placed the US D on the Houston for you, made the saving throw.
Placed the X on the CP and the D on the Tone (made its saving throw as well).
Send the airplanes back to the Marshall Islands (feel free to adjust their location when you get the file back).

ashkpa -> RE: Pat vs Ronnie GW AAR (9/3/2017 6:23:23 PM)

In the last three zones no body found and therefore no combat.
Polynesia 3/1
New Zealand 6/6
Solomons 6/5

Note, I will be out for my afternoon and perhaps evening.

Enjoy your afternoon/evening!

Question. No sure of all the IJN moves but did the loss of the Japanese CP in the Marianas break supply to Truk? I can hope can't I? [:)]

No, I had moved a CP to the Bismarck Sea.



ashkpa -> RE: Pat vs Ronnie GW AAR (9/5/2017 12:55:21 AM)

JF43 i7 axis land attacks. Two automatic attacks on units disorganized and out of supply.
