Rematch 4 player game (Orm, Peskpesk, jjdenver and Mayhemizer)

[Orm]

No combat in the Red Sea (Axis 6, Allies 9)

[Orm]

No combat in the Arabian Sea (Axis 6, Allies 5)

Somehow this feels a bit like Déjà vu. [:D]

[Orm]

And no combat in the Tasman Sea (Axis 7, Allies 10)

Sometimes I wonder why bother. [:D]

[Orm]

And last up is a sea area where the stakes are somewhat higher...

[Mayhemizer_slith]

And they say whining does not work!

[Orm]

And suddenly, for no apparent reason, I remember why I keep trying. [;)]

Axis finds the Allied convoy. (Axis 2, Allies 5)

Ask your kids if it works. [;)] [:D]

[Orm]

Japan saves three surprise points to select the second target.

[Orm]

The troop transport is sunk (defence roll 1). Japan uses the three surprise points to put the D on the CP and sink it. The remaining A go on the CA. If aborted to what port will it go? If not aborted, will CW stay in the sea area? Japan Stay.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Abort to where it came from. Port adjacent to two sea areas in south.

[Orm]

The CA is aborted.

I have teached them. When I ask them what you can get by whining, they will answer: nothing, except maybe time out.

But they keep trying...

If it's ok to change, I'd like to request that the CW CA return to a port other than the 2-front port Adelaide. I can edit file to move the unit - no need to re-do. maybe some minor 2-front port in New Zealand? Or Australia?

Is Auckland (major port) good? I think it can reach that port. Or Christchurch (SE)? Or Invercargill (S)?

Edit: I went with Auckland.

Thanks - I think Auckland is probably ok. I just didn't want it to be in a major port that the U.S. is likely to operate a fleet from since RN/RAN is just an auxiliary force in the south pacific (typically) and I don't want a U.S. fleet to be operating with -1 speed.

Got it. There is always the possibility of an edit if need be. [:)]

Impulse #12 (Axis)

Land moves continued:

Japan:
INF -> Tianshui
MTN -> Sian
INF -> 72,130 (resource)

Italy:
X Corps liberate Djibouti.
HQI (Genoa) -> La Spezia

Germany attack hex 47,54 with 49 vs 14. Or +7- With +2 in HQ Support the odds are +9. No German ground support. USSR has a bomber available for ground support. Germany has one 5 strength FTR2 available for interception. Will USSR fly their bomber?

Edit: Spelling

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I think JJ is sleeping so I decide no ground support. If I calculated right, odds with ground support would be +6. Not worth of risk.
