Jan/Feb '43
Initiative

Axis won the initiative. The question now is whether they will move first in the turn, or not?

The Axis cordially (lime with a dash of vodka to spice it up) invite the Allies to go first.

Jan/Feb '43
Impulse #1 (Allied)

Land: USSR, China
Combined: USA
Naval: France, CW

The US naval bomber in Singapore bomb the Japanese fleet based on Hainan.

Axis surprise roll of 8 and a Allied roll of 4 gives US 4 surprise points that are used to increase damage.

One CVL is damaged by the port strike. One BB becomes disorganized. (The target for the second 'D' result should be selected by Japan. And the target may be changed should Japan so desire)

No need to change, thanks.

A US transport fleet sail from San Diego to Polynesia. It is loaded with two marine divisions and two fighters.

US submarines sail for the China Sea, South China Sea, and Bismarck Sea. A Dutch submarine join up in the Bismarck Sea.

CW transporters sail for the Mozambique Channel, East Coast, Faeroes Gap, and Azanian Sea. They are loaded with TERR, LND3, FTR2, and MOT.

Plenty of convoy escort leave port. Two battle fleets sail for Cape St Vincent (0-box and 3-box). A US battleship join up in the 3-box.

US activates combat in the China Sea first. No Allied air reinforce the sea area. Plenty of Japanese aircraft can reinforce the sea area. Any takers?

From Sasebo naval bombers B5N1 to box 0 and G3M2 to box 3.

The submarines in China Sea decide to stay out of the action. No combat.

Next up is South China Sea where a US submarine activate combat. All Allied nations decline to reinforce the sea area. Japan has one naval bomber and one fighter that can reinforce South China Sea. Any takers?

I wish I know what is going on in far east...

Japanese NAV goes to box 2.

I wish I knew what was going on too. For now though, that was a good call for the NAV.

I am sorry that you lack information. [:(]

Allies roll 7 and Axis 1. The Japanese naval bomber finds the US submarines. How will Japan proceed?

At this point Axis must hit when they can. Naval air combat, maximum damage and Axis stay. No additional air unless Allies bring planes.

Axis place D on 5 strength sub and A on some undamaged sub.

That wasn't meant as a comment on what you've posted for us. Simply a reflection on my own confusion [&:]

One submarine damaged and two aborted. Allies stay but do not include submarines. Combat over. The SUBs abort to Singapore.

Next up is Bismarck Sea where the Dutch initiate the hunt for Japanese merchantmen.
