You are not the only one

I loaded from ground support intercept phase were I had a save. In this phase US CVP's that are bombing are shown both in target hex and in sea box 4 with others but they have text "bombing / flying as bomber" These 3 planes were not able to land.

I try to bomb again, but if the result is the same I will work around this problem by not using them as bomber but fighters to make them disorgnized and I edit dice roll so that we get the correct result, odds on the previous page

Problem did not appear again, we are moving to land combat. I will only roll France and pass file to JJ as I don't know for sure how USSR is going to take possible losses and advance.

Allies take the hex losing MOT and shatter enemy units in fear of next turn impulse 1 counter attack

44 JF i9 allies (cont):
allied spate of land attacks and invasions continues....
The attacks in the Pacific are easy:

Axis will choose table on some of these 4 remaining attacks. Also if it's possible please let me know loss order then I can start executing them all.

I have to ask one more time about choosing the combat table and AT gun. Is AT gun worth of ARM or 1/2 ARM?

Each defending AT is worth one ARM. An entire corps/army.

Thanks. I knew that but got confused as I didn’t notice the second attaking ARM. Over 10 years of playing and still I don’t know the rules

here are pictures at time of rolling dice that should include winterized.

Loss units in priority order are: MIL, GARR, INF, AT, MOT, AA.

We select assault wherever we can.

44 JF i9 allies (cont):
Attack results slightly below average. Nothing too great really, but lots of German oil is burned and the number of Axis units facing the Soviets thins imperceptibly while against Japan a fighter is overrun so overall it's a much-needed positive impact to start 44 for the allies.

44 JF i9 allies (cont):
SU rebases FTR2 from Smolensk 2 hexes forward
US:
P-38 rebases Port Moresby to Truk
ATR3 from Azores to Algeria 74,30
P-38J from Newfoundland to Azores 71,359
F4U-1 from Gib to Tunisia 74,36

reorg:
SU HQA reorgs 3 units near Vlad

Turn continues to impulse 12 on a 7 EOT roll.

Not going to argue with that. Just want to clarify that, as I understand it, the Soviet attack rolls were slightly below average, but that all the Allied attack rolls combined, including the Soviet, CW, and US, were above average.

I hope to begin our impulse tomorrow, Thursday, sometime during the day,

Impulse #12 (Axis)

Land: Germany
Combined: Japan
Naval: Italy

No Port Strikes.

Naval Air:
Italy:
NAV3 (Lorient) -> BoB 3-box

Naval moves:

Japan:
AMPH + MIL + CA (Singapore) -> Bay of Bengal 2-box
AMPH (Batavia) -> South China Sea 0-box - embark INF (Hanoi)

Italy:
TRS + MIL (Athens) -> Italian Coast 0-box
CP -> East Med
CP -> italian Coast
BB (Italian Coast) -> 0-box
CA (Italian Coast) -> 1-box
BB (Athens) -> Italian Coast 1-box
4 CA (East Med) -> 1-box
2 SUB -> CSV
3 SUB -> CVB
4 SUB -> North Atlantic

Italy search for Allied shipping in the North Atlantic. Will Allies send any air there?

NAV4 as high as possible
NAV2 box 1, if there is no NAV or CV

There is a CVL in the 1-box. Only CPs in the 0-box.

I am going to proceed with the NAV2 going to the 0-box, and then go back and change it if I was in error.

Jan/Feb '44
Impulse #12 (Axis)

Axis finds with a 2-6 split, select 0-box only, and then use 4 points to make it a surface action.
