Pat vs Ronnie GW AAR

[ashkpa]

Coral Sea rolls of 5/8 resulted in no combat.
SE Indian Ocean rolls of 6/1 resulted in no combat.

Next up is the Marianas.
I did not react any plans out. You have an option for the plane on wake to react?
Will it and any other instructions?

[rkr1958]

No reaction.

[ashkpa]

In The Marianas the search roll are 6/5. Meaning the Allies find and can select which box to engage. Picking either the 0 or 1 box should allow you to avoid or destroy those box occupants.

[rkr1958]

Pick the 0 and 1 boxes. Use surprise points to force a surface battle. Sink/abort Tone and CP. After this round, the USN aborts and returns back to Pearl.

[ashkpa]

I placed the US D on the Houston for you, made the saving throw.
Placed the X on the CP and the D on the Tone (made its saving throw as well).
Send the airplanes back to the Marshall Islands (feel free to adjust their location when you get the file back).

[ashkpa]

In the last three zones no body found and therefore no combat.
Polynesia 3/1
New Zealand 6/6
Solomons 6/5

Note, I will be out for my afternoon and perhaps evening.

JF43 i7 Ground Strike

[rkr1958]

Enjoy your afternoon/evening!

Question. No sure of all the IJN moves but did the loss of the Japanese CP in the Marianas break supply to Truk? I can hope can't I? [:)]

No, I had moved a CP to the Bismarck Sea.

[ashkpa]

JF43 i7 axis land attacks. Two automatic attacks on units disorganized and out of supply.

[ashkpa]

JF43 i7 Air supply mission. Leading elements of the Wehrmacht are on the Caspian Sea and receiving supplies. They have also overrun several oil centers on their march to the sea.

JF43 i7 EOT roll - turn did not end.

Turn 21. Jan/Feb 1941. Allied #10. Actions.

[rkr1958]

Turn 21. Jan/Feb 1941. Allied #10. RN. Contested Sea Areas. No Combat.

The RN (wisely) chooses not to attempt to initiate a naval combat in these sea areas. The axis, as the non-phasing side, doesn't have the opportunity to try.

Turn 21. Jan/Feb 1941. Allied #10. USN. Contested Sea Areas. No Combat.

Turn 21. Jan/Feb 1941. Allied #10. USN. Bismark Sea.

The USAAF flew out a bomber at extended range to the 4-box of the Bismarck sea. The USAAF will attempt to initiate a naval combat. Shown are the IJN planes which can react.

Instructions for air reactions and for the battle?

[rkr1958]

Turn 21. Jan/Feb 1941. Allied #10. RN. Arabian Sea.

The RN used 1 of their 2 naval moves (of a combine) to restore supply through the Arabian Sea by moving a transport from Aden to the 1-box of the sea area. No question (in my mind) that the IJN as the non-phasing side will attempt to initiate combat and rid that sea area of the RN transport. The only question is which unit will have the honors of the initiation attempt?

FYI. The other CW naval move was to move a lone CP from Halifax, CAN to the Mexican Coast.

The fighter reacts to the 2-box. Avoid combat if my choice.

Furutaka will initiate.

Turn 21. Jan/Feb 1943. Allied #10. USN. Bismarck Sea.
