Turn 20. Nov/Dec 1942. Allied #11. The Marianas.

The USN is attempting to initiate a naval combat in the Marianas. The IJN has two air units which can react. The H6K based in Sapporo and the fighter based in Truk.

Will one or both of these air units react?.

If so, where?

If contact is made, what are you orders?

And the USA took a?

Well it appears that bug is back. The USA took a combine.

Turn 20. Nov/Dec 1942. Allied #11. Contested Sea Areas. The Marshalls.

The USN decides NOT to attempt to initiate combat; however, the IJN submarine unit that failed the intercept attempt can.

Do you wish to attempt to initiate combat? If so, what are your orders if contact is made?

Too Hot for me now. Subs stay under and do not search.

The RN will not to attempt to initiate combat in the East Med. However, the Italians can if they wish. The only additional air unit that the CW has available that could react is a fighter based on the coast in Egypt.

Do the Italians wish to attempt to initiate combat? If so, what are their orders if contact is made?

I will not at this time.

Neither reacts.

If I have enough SP, I will avoid combat in the Marianas.

The USSR is attempting three ground strikes. The Luftwaffe has four fighter units that can intercept.

How does the Luftwaffe wish to respond to these ground strikes?

I will ignore those gnats flying around. No interceptions.

Gnats indeed. [:(]

Turn 20. Nov/Dec 1940. Allied #11. USSR, Land Combat.

The Soviets will be conducting two land combat. Von Bock can provide HQ support to the second combat. Will he?

Yes he will. The turn is likely to end anyway.

I believe I have two fighters that can fly has bombers to the northern most attack. If that is all I have that can fly, then that is what they will do.

OK, will do. But they'll be opposed by one Soviet fighter unit.

No worry, both German fighter units flying as bombers make it through.

Turn 20. Nov/Dec 1942. Allied #11. USSR, Land Combat.

The two Soviet land combats aren't a complete disaster but don't go very well with two slightly lower than expected average rolls.

Turn 20. Nov/Dec 1942. Allied #11. USSR.

Yikes.

Turn 20. Nov/Dec 1942. Allied #11.

Double Yikes. This turn continues. The USSR is toast.

Yeh, those two attacks are going to come back to haunt you. The HQ stack will be put out of supply easily and defends with 2 strength. I may be able to put the upper stack out of supply as well (haven't checked if there is a city underneath one of the stacks), but that would have me getting more aggressive with the lead units. Not sure if I will.

ND42 i13 Naval Combat Possibilities.
Key Moves so far. JP flied a bomber and fighter to the 4-box of the Marianas. The reminder of JP fleet in Truk sailed to the 4-box of the Marianas. The CA in Manila carried the Mar-div to the 4-box of the Bismark Sea.

Italy sailed 2x CA and 2x BB to the E. Med, sub to the N. Atlantic and 2 subs to the Faeroes Gap.

I will start the searches in the areas later this evening.
