Turn 17. May/June 1942. Allied #2. Western Allies. Brest. Air-to-Air Combat, part 1.

I believe (hope) I've faithfully executed your instructions in the Brest air to air combat, which hasn't gone well for the axis, to this point.

At this point I need direction from you on whether or not you wish to continue this air to air? If so, what are you instructions?

I believe if I get at least 4 GS through it is best to decline the notional, but please verify when the option comes up.

By the way, the choice on whether or not to include the notional had to be made even before adding shore bombardment. Attack odds were in your favor with the notionals so I included them. Hope that was ok.

staying at least one more round to try and get the bomber through. Please roll well for the axis now.

Thus, ends to air to air combat over Breast and ground support.

Turn 17. May/June 1942. Allied #2. St-Malo. Air-to-Air Combat.

Well, if it's any consolation the air to air combat over St-Malo completely goes the axis way.

Now it is all up to the luck of the attack rolls. Plus, you should be in bed now. Don't you work in the morning?[:D]

Turn 17. May/June 1942. Allied #2. Western Allies. Land Combat. Ground Support.

The Western Allies manage to add 6 factors of ground support to their attack on Brest. The axis managed to add 2 factors to their defense of St-Malo.

Yes it is and yes I do, but if I didn't finish my impulse it would drive me crazy all day at work thinking about the outcome. [:)]

The allies get ashore at both locations but the Brest landings were costly.

I forgot to post this earlier. The Soviets railed another blue factor to the east.

MJ i3: Naval moves
Japan takes a naval, Italy a combined and Germany a land.
No naval air moves for Italy and Germany. Japan flys out to the Coral Sea and the Solomon Sea.
Early in the naval moves, JP moves to the E. Indian Ocean with a CA, the FR can intercept. Will They?

No thank you.

Next, an unloaded Transport and BB move into the China Sea. Will the subs intercept?

Yes.

Rolled a 1 and found. The units stopped in the 2-box and the transport picked up the Osaka MIL. A second transport for Tokyo, without escort, made the same run. This time you rolled a 6 and missed. It continued onto the S. China Sea.

The Transport in Fukuoka moved into China Sea loaded with the 8-3 Corp. The interception roll was again a 6. It moved on to Shanghai.
