First Axis search will be in CSV. Will CW reinforce the sea area with their naval bomber.

the second search will be Germany searching in the North Sea. Any chance that Allies can decide now if they want to add any air to the North Sea? (nNo additional Axis air)

[Mayhemizer_slith]

NAV to CSV box 0.

No planes to North Sea.

Thank you.

One of the Italian SUBs find with a roll of 3, while Allies roll 6. Italy really needed to find with both SUBs to be able to do any damage on the Allies and therefore decline combat (although I might have reconsidered if I had 6 surprise points instead of 5 [:D]).

In short: Italy select avoid combat.

[Orm]

Impulse #15 (Axis)

Neither side finds in the North Sea. (Axis 6, Allies 9)

Allies decline searching within the Mediterranean.

Next up is the Arctic Ocean.

[Orm]

Not even close in the Arctic Ocean, (Axis 7, Allies 10)

Next up is West Indian Ocean. Seems to have been some mix-up between the different Admirals here. Should have been another ship here as well. [:D]

[Orm]

The Japanese scout locate the CW convoy, and Ryujo launch its aircraft for an attack. (Axis 2, Allies 9)

[Orm]

Impulse #15 (Axis)

Japan uses all surprise points to increase the damage done. The X is put on the TRS.

[Orm]

The TRS saves the X.

How will CW place the first D?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

D on York

[Orm]

Sep/Oct '42
Impulse #15 (Axis)

HMS York is damaged. Japan puts the second D on the TRS and it sinks.

How will CW place the first A?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Place A’s as you wish. CW aborts last CA to Cape Town.

[Orm]

Japan can intercept the CA if it goes to Cape Town.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

It can go around? As it left from Cape Town.

Or did you block safe route to Cape Town?

[Orm]

Both cruisers are aborted.

Or did you block safe route to Cape Town?

Yes. I sent a CVL to the West entrance into the Cape Town. The CVP has enough range to give it a bonus so that it can intercept. Sorry about the bad picture in the previous post.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

OK. Any port is good so that it cannot be intercepted. I prefer ports from where she can sail to Africa East Coast to protect convoys.

[Orm]

Aden, Bombay, Victoria on Seychelles, or Ceylon, are all good.

[Orm]

Jamestown on Saint Helena works as well.
