Everyone eludes each other in the rain. Searches: Allies 9, Axis 8.

Next, South China Sea. Only sub initiates. Allies decline to add any air support. The Japanese have 5 units available. Do any fly?

CW swaps a couple of units around in Malaya.

Soviets move some newly arrived units forwards in the south.

CW INF debarks to join the TERR unit adjacent to Mogadishu.

US declares invasions of Truk and Kwajalein. These are automatic.

CW attacks Mogadishu. Blenheims provide ground support. They fly on to Soctra.

Final odds. What table to the Italians want?

Assault please



AllenK -> RE: Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR (1/25/2020 12:50:50 PM)

Vastly outnumbered, outclassed and harried from the air, the defenders of Mogadishu collapse, leaving the Allies in possesion of the capital.

Normally, left click on the SCS to select it, then right click and select load.

If you are having trouble with that method, try Ctrl-Left click to bring up the form below. Unselect All, then left click on an SCS to select it. Right click and select load. Load the unit. You can then select additional units if you want a task force.

There are five possible search areas. The Japanese have no wish to get involved in the China Sea or the South China Sea but initiates in the other three which I take from the top:

Bismarck Sea

Do the Allies which to bring in the Beaufighter?

Nov/Dec 1942
Impulse: 3 (Axis)

Naval Search:

Axis - 1
Allies - 10

The Japanese have 12 surprise points. They use 4 to choose a sub combat, 2 to reduce the defensive fire to no effect and the remainder to increase the hits. The convoy is sunk.

With two aircraft with naval ratings still there, the sub heads home after the combat.

You threw a 1 so have the NAV and the cruiser.
