I'm surprised more Allies don't try an early carrier raid in NorPac. If you know where the KB is, you just know its going to be practically undefended (as it starts off with nothing)

First off, if a hex has no units, then both sides have unit(s) enter the hex on the same turn, then neither side controls the hex nor any of the hex sides. That's just the way the code works.

Second, the hex side that matters for river-crossing shock attacks is the one inside the hex being entered. Remember that you can only leave a hex via a hex side (within that hex) that you own, so you are always 'leaving' through a friendly hex side. If, when crossing a river, you enter a hex through an enemy controlled hex side (within the hex you are entering) then your forces must shock attack. Upon subsequent crossings, they might still be required to shock attack if the AV that crossed through that hex side is less than 1/3 of the enemy (defender) AV in the hex.

I do not recall.... how are the yards at Hong Kong? I agree, it is tempting to not fix the ones at Manila. If HK were fine, that might be a better option.
