Thanks for the info.

Regarding this bit....

1) You can replace aircraft if you want. This, however, often removes the carrier from action for a while or you need to transport the replacement aircraft to the carrier and that is not popular either. So many players often delay with this.

Not sure what you mean by "replace" Is it that:

a) you can't actually "upgrade" a unit - you just have to buy the new model to replace the old model - and presumably disband/destroy the older model in the process.

or

b) The air unit does upgrade but the carrier is out of action as well - and is the out of action bit because of the upgrade or just because there may not be another CV air unit available.

or

c) something else

Thanks again

will post any future questions in the general forum as i'm getting a bit off topic for this AAR

Your question about upgrading air units has been answered, but I do want to add one small detail. The CVP's do upgrade each year in the sense that they get "smaller" and a unit that needs a class 2 carrier in 1939 might be able to fit on a class 1 carrier in 1940, etc... Carriers can also hold 2 air wings, so long as the combined air class is equal or lower to the CV's class. This means another way to upgrade the units on your CV's is to fly CVP's from their current CV to a CV with a lower class at the start of the new year, or combine the air wings of 2 cv's onto the deck of just 1. Both will allow you to put a new CVP on the recently vacated CV. But the CVP still has to get to it, so it either has to be in port within range of the new CVP (which can only be placed in home county cities) or transported to it by transport, as discussed above.

I spent many a childhood family holiday in Exmouth. Mrs Wookey's guest house - Sholton - in Morton Road. Great times - especially the hot summer of 1976 . Never seen Exmouth looking like that...

1976, that takes me back, i think it was about then i moved up to Exeter and started my first job

Sholton - if its the one i'm thinking off its gone now - sold up recently and its now flats

was a real old school place and the lady was your typical (nice) landlady - when i first moved in to my first flat (right next door) she told me off for leaving my bin bags out where the seagulls could wreck them :)

i have even been in the place to show people around when she was trying to sell (i worked part time for an estate agent), it was surprising how many rooms she fit in

its a small world

Okay so far so good. I have repeated all the same dice throws and I now have one aborted bomber landed, and the four remaining fly to the target.

This time the Axis only get two AA throws instead of four. I do not know the rules on this so I will assume this is right for now.

A Swordfish is destroyed and the Dauntless loses 3 bomb points.

The CW get two throws, damaging Andrea Doria and sinking the light cruiser Diaz.

I land the aircraft.

Right I will read up on the rules at the weekend and check that the dice rolls for AA and attack were correct.

BUT GOOD NEWS - PORT STRIKE APPEARS TO BE WORKING - HUSSAH!!!
