Will Hitler Trump All?

Turn attached. I tried to move the D3A2 from Port Moresby but could not. I believe this might be one of the hexes that the normal way to find it doesn't apply. We know it should be in Melbourne like you requested, so we may have to work around it, depending on how the game plays out.

In the future, always pick a slower sub for damage. Thanks.

[Orm]

It was Axis that picked the D, but I will try to remember it for future use.

[NatRapsEno]

Ah yes, If I had a dollar for every time I forgot that aircraft pick the first target I would be a rich man.

Allies finds, and has 6 points (Axis 7, Allies 1). How to proceed?

Use all points to increase damage to you. If any Axis ship is capable of searching for a round II, abort zone to Honolulu.

Japan stay for round two in the Solomons. Does US stay as well? If not, what abort port will the CP seek?

Abort zone to Midway

Next search is in The Marshalls. Add the NAV3 to the sea area?
