Turn 18. Jul/Aug 1942. Allied #2. RN, West Med.

Both search rolls fail.

Turn 18. Jul/Aug 1942. Allied #2. USN, The Solomons.

Again, both search rolls fail.

Turn 18. Jul/Aug 1942. Allied #2. USN, China Sea.

Turn 18. Jul/Aug 1942. Allied #2. USN Submarines on Eternal Patrol.

Well, that sub battle in the China Sea didn't go well.


USN,South China Sea

Apparently I forgot to make screen caps but the 2 USN sub units there failed to make contact as did the IJN. So combat unsuccessfully attempted.

Turn 18. Jul/Aug 1942. Allied #2. USSR. Strategic Bombing Raid on Polesti Oil Fields.

Well, the hits just keep on coming.

Turn 18. Jul/Aug 1942. Allied #2. USSR. Moscow Blue Factory Railed East.

Well, just did what Stalin never did. That is, rail the Moscow factories and workers east. My understanding was that everything was ready to go but on the morning that Stalin, his government and the Moscow factories and workers were to be railed Stalin changed his mind and decided that everyone was staying. Not in my alternate universe. However, if I could I'd send Stalin to ... well, you can use your imagination.

Turn 18. Jul/Aug 1942. Allied #2. USSR.

These stitched together screen caps were made after Soviet movement phase but before their air rebase phase. Two bombers in frontline cities were rebased to Moscow.

Turn 18. Jul/Aug 1942. Axis #3. Weather.

MWiF 2.3.5 Hot Patch.

Just updated to this latest (hot patch) version.

JA42 i3: Axis
Actions: German land, Italy Air, Japan naval

Italy flies to the BoB and E. Med. Germany flies to the BoB. Japan flies to The Solomons and makes many other naval moves.

A number of naval combats are possible. Here is the first and the rest will follow. Please make note of any special instructions in reply to a specific zone.

1. E. Med. The CW has possible reactions flights.

2. West Med.
Axis do not initiate and the Axis will not have the option.

I thought I had asked for the Italian NAV to react to the 2-box during your impulse. Any reason it did not?

3. BoB. Allies have a lot of reaction options.

4. Azanian Sea. The Axis to not initiate combat. The Allies will have the option later, will they?

5. Arabian Sea.
Will the CW commit the subs?

6. South China Sea
The axis will not initiate here. The US will have the option later, will they?

7. Coral Sea. The Japanese sub will not be committed and no other Japanese units are reacting out.

8. Mendicino
Pretty straight forward here.

9. The Solomons
Any special directions for this zone?

10. The New Zealand Coast.

11. Polynesia.
