Mar/Apr 1942 ALLIES 1st Impulse: Actions: USSR - Land CW - Naval Fr - Naval US - Combined Naval Moves: CW and US move NAVs out to Coral Sea, and the US fleet joins them in the 3 box. There may be a big carrier battle this impulse. US searches in the Coral Sea and rolls a 3, while the Japanese roll a 9. 7 surprise points for the US. US does not use any surprise points for the air battle, saving for the bombing runs. The odds are 0/0 in the air combat... 1st round, Japan rolls a 16, US chooses to kill the Catalina NAV. Allies roll a 5, and Japan chooses to lose the lead NAV, a G3M2 Nell. 2nd round, Japan rolls ANOTHER 16, US chooses to kill the Beaufort bomber. Weirdly, the Allies roll ANOTHER 5, and Japan chooses to lose their front bomber. 3rd round, Japan rolls a 4 (US curses madly with the luck the Japanese are getting!), Japan kills the lead US bomber a SBD. US rolls a 13, no effect. 4th round, Japan rolls a 12, YES!! allowing US to clear through a bomber. US rolls a 8, Japan chooses to abort their front bomber. 5th round, Japan rolls a 12, US clears their last bomber. US rolls a 10, Japan clears their first bomber, their best a 5pt NAV bomber. 6th round, Japan rolls a 11, clearing for no effect. US rolls a 14, Japan chooses to abort their front fighter. Ratio goes to +1/-1 7th round, Japan rolls a 7, aborting front US fighter. US rolls a 15, and chooses to abort the front Japanese fighter. Ratio goes to +2/-2! 8th round, Japan rolls a 11, clearing for no effect. US rolls a 19!!!! and kills the lead Japanese bomber. So far only 1 Japanese bomber has gotten through. 9th round, Japan rolls a 6, aborting the front US fighter. US rolls a 14, and chooses to abort the lead Japanese fighter. Ratio goes to +2/-1, a slight improvement for the Japanese. 10th round, Japan rolls a 16, aborting the front US fighter. US rolls a 9 for no effect. Ratio is now even again at 0/0. 11th round, Japan rolls a 19, killing the front US fighter. US rolls a 11, clearing another Japanese bomber. 12th round, Japan rolls a 7, aborting the last US fighter. US rolls a 7, Japan aborts their front fighter, and clears the last bomber through. Bloody battle, with Allies taking a larger pounding, and Japan getting more bombers through as well. US lost a NAV2 and 2 CVP1, CW lost a NAV3, Japan lost a NAV3 and 2 CVP1...
