A Spitfire (without the tactical factor) will go to the 0-box but nothing for the Pacific thank-you

[AllenK]

The empty TRANS loads the ART from Shanghai and the task force stops in the China Sea 0-box.

A second task force of 3 CV and 4 CA also sails to China Sea. Still no intercept?

[warspite1]

No thank-you

[AllenK]

The task force sails to South China Sea (I decline intercepts) where 2 CA's load the two Divs in the Philipines. It settles in the 3-box.

Four potential areas for naval combat.

[AllenK]

First up, the Norwegian Sea, where the Italians decide to have a go.

Searches: Axis 1, Allies 10.

The Italian wolf-pack reaches a perfect firing position and looses full spreads. Spotting the wakes, the escort charges in and does enough damage to force the subs from the fight (2 surprise points to reduce D to A).

[AllenK]

Then the torpedoes find their marks (rest of the points used to increase damage).

[AllenK]

The sub returns to Hamburg.

Next up, East Med.

The Italians don't add anything else. The Allies scramble the Spitfire to the 0-box.

Searches: Axis 7, Allies 9. No combat.

The Japanese decline the combats. However, the Allies could have a go in the South China Sea.

[AllenK]

Or the China Sea?

[warspite1]

Yes please. The Chinese would like to make a search

[AllenK]

The P-40's begin searching.

A US PBY-5 can make up to the 4-box. Does it join in?

[warspite1]

Yes to that too please - No.3 Box thank-you

[AllenK]

The stage is nearly set. Do the Allies want to throw the subs in as well?

[warspite1]

No thank-you

[AllenK]

The Japanese forces blunder about spending more time checking formations than looking for the enemy. The Allies on the other hand ...

Searches: Allied 2, Axis 10.

How do the Allies wish to play this.

[warspite1]

Sorry - give me 5 minutes and I'll be with you [8|]

[AllenK]

No rush. I’ll be away from the computer for a while now as I’m at the garage waiting for car to be fixed.

[warspite1]

Sorry guys. Can you select the 0-box only please (air combat - no points req'd) then use all surprise points to increase damage? Thank-you

Nice [&:] I hope it's not too expensive.....

[AllenK]

About £300 but somewhat better than the £700 or so Ford would have charged [8|].

[cfinch]

been reading your AARs for a while love them! i don't comment much but FORD got me - we had a fire truck that we had to replace in a hurry and ended up with a FORD, couldn't rid of it. When asked what the letters on the front meant the standard reply was Found On Road Dead...
