Looking good! Japan uses 2 points to decrease damage and 6 points to increase damage.

If I'm right Japan takes 2A (1st to 6 def CA and 2nd to 7 def CA) and CW takes X D 2A.

Edit: Japan stays for more.

Japanese minor inconveniences (losses would be a far too strong and inappropriate word).

However, the Allies don't suffer as much as they were fearing.

I didn't use the online die roller for the 2A's as with only 1 ship to apply them to, it wouldn't have mattered what was rolled, it was going to be aborted.

The Allied ships limp back to Aden.

The Japanese CA sails for Kuala Lumpur but must first pass through the Bay of Bengal. Do the Allies try and intercept? It could expose the CP to risk and with the Jap Nav just itching to stick its oar in, a surface combat wouldn't be guaranteed.

They decide to go for it.

On yet another 10, the woeful Allied search results continue.

Time to see if, unlike the CW, the US have learnt how to take the lens caps of their binoculars.

Bering Sea: Searches Allied 6, Axis 9. NE - apparently not yet.
Mendochino: Declined
Carion: Declined
Polynesia: Declined

Anywhere the Axis might want to have a dabble?

Bay of Biscay: Yes please, no planes needed.

Also yes to Polynesia. Sub joins the combat.

What do Allies have in Clarion?

And surprise, surprise, the woeful Allied search results continue while the Axis succeed.

I assumed the Axis would choose box-0 only and spend 4 of their 8 surprise points to force sub combat. How about the remainder?

You guessed right on money.

Remaining 4 points to decrease Axis damage to NE. Axis stay for more.

One of the following options have to be true:

A) Axis are lucky.

B) Allied sailors have poor quality and skills.

2 CP's begin the journey to Davy Jones.

Round 2: Searches Axis 8, Allied 7 end proceedings.

Did the Japs want a go in Clarion or Polynesia?

Clarion: Searches Axis 8, Allied 2 (nearly but not quite). NE.
Polynesia: Allies fly a Ftr to the 0-box. I presume Axis will commit their sub. Searches Axis 3, Allied 1. Allies choose Naval Air Combat. NE.
Round 2: Searches Axis 8, Allies 3. NE.

RAF launches bombing raids on Cologne (escorted by 6-point Mossie), Rome and Taranto. Germany can intercept Cologne with a 5-point Me-109. Is it a Gruppen scramble?

The air-combat is brief but the Mossies have done their job.

Soviets send 2 Lnd to ground-strike von Bock.

Not to be out-done by their comrades in the RAF, the TB-7's put a couple in the pickle barrel.

US rebases 2 Ftr from Casablanca to Tunis.

USSR rebases a Ftr from Korea to Manchuria.

No reorgs.

Back to Axis.

The Allied search is a 9.

I then find that the other ships and air cover in the 0-box aren't available for the combat. Had I known that would be the case, I wouldn't have risked this second intercept. My preference will be to redo this and move them to my alternative. Mayhemizer, okay with you?

This is correct. Only moving units and units that find are included.

I had this rule wrong as recently as last year.

USSR 5-3 INF is not blocking any attacking units (I don't have enough of them). I was worried they might move one or two INF to NE or NW of city... Now I will try to take it with some air and HQ support.

I also hope I finally hit that MECH...

Edit: I also hope Japs to shoot down 3-5 US CVP's without any own losses

N/D 1941 Axis 6

No DoW

German land, Italy and Japan combined

Japan launches port attack to Honolulu. Do US want to intercept? Japan can intercept with 3 and 5 factor fighters.

Honolulu AA is lowest of 3 (if AA gun fires also) before any points are used.

Japan sends 5 and 3 point fighters.

Both roll 9 for surprise, no surprise points to use.

Air combat 1st round:

Allies 16, Axis 6.

Japan chooses to destroy bomber, they think there will be more naval air combats coming in near future and a good fighter might be needed.

This is not how Japs planned it to go... 15 would have been AA and 5 would have been DX, so close!

Where do fighter land, on CV Hornet or CV Wasp?

Japs stay for more, how about US? US has "only" 20% chance to shoot down Japanese fighter and Japan has "spectacular" 30% chance to shoot down US fighter.
