I was worried about counter attack in France. Now I’m even more worried about what the Axis are building up there.

This would be a great situation to use my superpower - luck. Combined with full pass

[peskpesk]

Yes our reactions was too slow, like historicaly.

Ah, but their commander was on holiday. Although it’s summer holiday season now, so maybe that explains everything.

I have been thinking that I would attacked many times by now. But if we look how little or nothing Allies have expanded beacheads, defense looks like right solution. After all, Axis will win if Allies don’t conquer Axis home countries. And it’s not that easy to attack from one or two hexes. I have played this game quite some time, but often games end before Allies invade France. So I’m not very experienced in this and can’t tell what is the best or most common method to defend France from Allied invasion.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I have been thinking my previous post.

I have been both fearing and hoping Axis counter attacks. Fearing they might success, hoping them to attack so that I can send all planes and they might fail. After that my attack would be easier.

I have counted attack odds for the Axis and been thinking ”I might attack”. It’s little different than actually attack. We will see in the next game.

CW CP enters CSV from Morocco, will Italian subs intercept?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Empty CW TRS leaves alone port of Oran, will Axis intercept in West Med?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

CW CVL Hermes leaves port from UK, will Italian sub intercept in Faeroes Gap?

[peskpesk]

Axis only intercepts in West Med, use GE FTR2(or 3 if no 2).

[Mayhemizer_slith]

On a 4 TRS in intercepted and it stays in West Med box 2.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

[Orm]

No intercept in Timor Sea. Thank you.

[jjdenver]

An update. I'll edit this post later with more action for the turn. But we've discovered that USA needs another naval move in Pacific so the 3 cp's moving to FG will have to come back. I'll need to redo all naval moves to accomplish that since undo doesn't seem to be available for them. I've started to replay it but have a clarification to make with Petteri so am paused while we figure out what to do.

EDIT:
One change to naval air missions - in Timor Sea Hellcat goes 3 box and FTR3 goes 4 box.

CW CA Adelaide to Tasman Sea 4 box
CW SUB Adelaide to SCS 2 box

US TF 4 CV from Fiji Islands sails into Coral Sea. Will SUB intercept?

[Orm]

Yes, please.

[jjdenver]

4 CV TF stops in Timor Sea. A 4 CV + 3 BB TF from Brisbane sails through Coral Sea - try to intercept with SUB?

EDIT: Intercept in Coral Sea of 4xCV fails with a roll of 8.

[Orm]

4 CV TF stops in Timor Sea.

It would have been nice to see in the text that the intercept attempt failed.

A 4 CV + 3 BB TF from Brisbane sails through Coral Sea - try to intercept with SUB?

Yes, please.
