i am not sure why reading the recent moves made me think of this, and happy to post elsewhere but i was wondering your thoughts on the following
what if you could move what you want - period (i guess like a super combined)? i may be missing something but using GE as example
- they can move the subs out first phase every turn vs having to await a naval
- they can activate subs every phase vs only some
but all in all you are limited by air missions and searches disorg the subs so that is self limiting
there are obvious similarities - benefits / drawbacks offsetting for other powers
i am wondering if the change would totally upset the cart or just make a different (but simpler? as you dont have to track naval combined etc) game
Hi cfinch, happy to see you discuss this but maybe not on an AAR thread.
Can you please post it in another part of the forum?

1 AA gun fires and stops 2 a2g factors. Soviet tanks roll forward in a successful attack.
SU rebases FTR and LND near d-town and FTR in north rebases along Dvina river north of Vitebsk
CW rebases Beaufighter in Egypt closer to Med
US rebases Dauntless from Pago Pago to Palmerton island farther southeast, Tomahawk and Dauntless from Pearl to Washington Island and Palmyra (south)
cvp's at Pearl that were not on CV's rebase onto CV's

Looks to me like the surprise points are borked (bugged). Allies roll 6, and Axis 5. So The Allied search number is 5+5=10, while the Japanese should be 2+1+6=9, and give the Allied side 1 surprise point. Yet the program gives the Allied side 2 surprise points. Seems to me that the program ignores the bonus for the Japanese CV (The CVP has a range of 4 so a +1 bonus applies).

Anyway. To get along with the game I am playing it as is and use the two surprise points to reduce damage done.

One CP is sunk and another disorganized.

If it’s bug, go back and hit harder. On picture plane has range 3, halved in bombing mission. Is result correct with range 3?

Well, it flies from a box where there is another CVP with 4 in range. And that unit should modify the search number as I read the rules even if the CVP flying doesn't due to its modified range.
The difference is one disorganized CP and I am not going back for that. [:)]

USSR can intercept the Italian ground strike on the Soviet mechanized armies. They have one FTR2 available. Italy has one FTR, and Germany one FTR3, available for counter-interception.
USSR also has one AA division available to give the tanks some AA support.
Will USSR intercept the Italian bomber? If not, will the AA fire?

I think I agree about naval combat (port attack) btw.
About the GS, do intercept. First result vs bomber. Return FTR to same hex.
