Sep/Oct '43
Impulse #11 (Axis)

How will Allies proceed?

I guess Allies are not doing well when we find in West Med with 7 points to use and still options look really bad for us.

But we choose to fight. 4 points are used to get surface combat and 3 to target X on TRS.

We take X 2D 2A and place damage as follows:
X on BB Nelson
D on BB Resolution
A to damaged ships as many times as possible.

If more aborts are needed, I will think about that unwanted question then

Allies stay, CW aborts to Oran and possible US aborts to Gib.

For the 2nd round: if FTR2 from France reaches box 1, then it will fly.

Italian TRS, and BB, damaged.

Impulse #11 (Axis)

Two British BBs damaged.

Was it the intention that the second 'D' result should go on the BB Resolution as well?

I forgot or missread the damage from table.

2nd D to Resolution and try to place both A to Nelson.

The Italian Commanders morale check fails, and Axis aborts the Western Mediterranean.

One BB, and one CA with one MTN Div, aborts to Tripoli. Reaming ships aborts to La Spezia.

There will be a break now. Hopefully, the second part of our impulse will be done later tonight, or tomorrow morning.

Losses for the turn.

Did CW lose a CVP? And if not, did CW lose two pilots?

I think that is the CVP I had in North Sea.

We can agree on that is the CVP1 from the North Sea. And it should still be on the CV Illustrious. And I assume that the second lost CW pilot is from that CVP.

Not sure on how to best fix this.

Editing in a CVP on a carrier makes me fear errors. I rather see it edited to a land hex.

I am open to suggestions.

Allied SUBs staying at sea in the South China Sea might affect the Japanese stay at sea, and return to base. Could this be posted before the rest of the end of turn is made?

Rather soon would be nice since I have some time for this shortly.

JJ is offline for few hours so I call all subs to ports from SCS.

Editing plane to land or reserve pool are both OK. CW has pilots arriving and it can be edited one higher.

I’m travelling from Sunday morning to Friday evening. I try to do my turn end before trip so that JJ run it with instructions but cannot promise it yet.

I'll post our entire end of turn this evening, or tomorrow after breakfast.

Editing the CVP1 to reserve pool, and one extra pilot (either some reinforcement or to the reserve pool) seems like a good way to fix it.
