Debacle
There's some real strangeness within this game, a sort of, what were they thinking. In an effort to surround Chungking, I put a AV 27 garrison unit into cross over the river in the last hexside that I don't control. That caused a shock attack because I haven't cross that hexside yet.
Ground combat at Chungking (76,45)
Japanese Shock attack

Assault collapses, survivors seek cover

Yesterday, I detected a TF about 10 hexes off Noumea and got a fish into a CL. Today, they make a run at Noumea and my CL SCTF intercept. I lose and yet again, my planes with good supply, good leaders and all assigned to the same HQ in the same hex, do not fly. What does it take to get stuff to do what you want in this game? Sacrifice more chickens? Oh both of these combats where within 2 hexes of Noumea and yet, planes don't fly.

For $#!($ and giggles use and HQ unit instead of a combat unit to close river crossing hexsides, or an arty unit (along with bombardment by units already in the hex. Had to outlaw both those in my last game

Its just part of the game and the same troubles/issues are also plaguing your opponent. Try to see it more of a game and less as historical enactment and much of the bothers go away. At least they did for me.
