Nov/Dec '42
Impulse #9 (Axis)

HQ support added by Mannerheim.

Odds before winterized support added. Edit: The final odds for the western hex with winter bonus is +17.5.

The eastern hex is attacked first. Assault is obvious for both attacks.

The main battle goes well, and the motti is cleared. (All three CW units destroyed)

The sounds of winter can once again be heard, as the sounds of war followed the retreating CW forces.

Intercept this task force leaving Liverpool?

intercept this task force which left Honolulu?

Allies will search these areas, starting in Black Sea.

Allies find with enough points to force a surface action.

Your choices for aborts.

Both Turkish cruisers and one Russian cruiser aborted. Miss on second search.

Next search Arabian Sea.

This was a silly search, unless you want to fly your fighter as bomber, which I don't think you will do. Unless I hear from you, and you want to use your points to fight it out, I will move on from this search.

I stand corrected. The game is presenting a possible combat. How do you want to spend your points?

Both score nil. Second search missed.

Now Azanian Sea.

Avoid or fight?

avoided.

Last search.

Avoided for you.
