Folly a deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 AAR

[warspite1]

Always pick the lowest air to sea factor please.

[AllenK]

Final tally.

[AllenK]

Japanese AA fire is less devastating (2, 9, 1, 5 rolled). Allies is similar (5, 1, 5 rolled).

Kaga is sunk. How do the Japanese place the 'D' and the second 'A'?

[warspite1]

Damage Kirishima and the second A on Kongo please

[AllenK]

The rest of the attack goes less well.

[AllenK]

Which ship to abort?

[warspite1]

Wasp please

[AllenK]

Wasp remains in the fight.

[AllenK]

Allies try for another round as do the Japanese. No additional air for the Allies. Japanese?

[warspite1]

No thank-you

[AllenK]

Searches: Allies 2, Axis 10. Naval air is chosen.

An expensive round of air combat ensues.

[AllenK]

Allies use their surprise points to reduce AA fire to NE.

The Japanese convoys are destroyed. Where do the D and 2nd A go?

[warspite1]

The 4's please with the usual spread of risk where possible.

[AllenK]

Japanese losses.

[AllenK]

The Allies continue, as do the Japanese.

No air is added for either side (assumption for the Japanese based on previous rounds).

Searches: Allies 4, Axis 7. The Allies lose contact with the Japanese in a rain squall.

Lex' aborts to Manilla. Where do the 3 Kongo class go to?

Edit: Due to the sea-box they were in, they had to go to an adjacent port, so Canton it was.

[AllenK]

The USAAF tries its first strategic bombing mission of the war. Lille is attacked. Hurricanes from the RAF provide escort. Do the Germans scramble anything? RAF have a couple of FTR-3's that could join in.

[warspite1]

No thank-you

[AllenK]

Overkill really but nevertheless a success.

[AllenK]

RAF ground strikes in Sicily, while the USN has a go in Hanoi.

The Bostons are ineffective.

[AllenK]

As is the USN.
