Naval air combat.

I think there is no damage, if any place to face up sub.

Allies stay

[Orm]

if any place to face up sub.

Que?

Face up sub?

Anyway. No damage done, and Japan stay as well. Going to next search.

Edit: Now I got it. I am slow as always. The would be target would indeed be the CA that did not initiate the search.

[Orm]

No contact the second time (9-4).

[Mayhemizer_slith]

if any place to face up sub.

Que?

Face up sub?

Anyway. No damage done, and Japan stay as well. Going to next search.

Correct! I was thinking you had subs, not CAs.

For others reading this: In the original board game disorganized units were flipped face down.

1945 MJ Axis #1.

Axis forces branches for the onslaught and Retreat in NE Poland and Finland.

Rules question as test run did not give the result I hoped:

If Marine ARM div and MOT invade to the same hex and they get B result, will
- Marine ARM div or
- Marine ARM div and MOT
breakthrough as in normal attacks?

[Orm]

MAR ARM Div will be able to breakthrough as in a normal attack. The MOT is not allowed to follow as it is to large to follow a division to the next hex.

I am not aware of any special rules regarding this issue.

Cut from RAC: 11.16.5 Resolving attacks
....
AsA/MiF/PoliF option 2: MOT and CAV corps/armies can’t advance a second hex if only stacked with a
MECH or ARM division.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

I tested and MAR ARM div was not allowed to breakthrough. If attack goes well, I guess we can edit hex control and move MAR ARM div?

[Orm]

No, no blitz movement allowed. After a more thorough rule search I found the relevant rule. See below.

RAC: 11.14 Invasions
....
An invading unit must end its move in the hex it invades. If the hex costs it more movement points than it
has, the unit becomes disorganized after any combat (even if you got an asterisk result).

[Mayhemizer_slith]

All good then, thank you Orm for confirming

[Mayhemizer_slith]

M/J 45 Allied 2

US and CW O-chit for super combined
USSR land (NO O-chit! I just couldn't find a hex with good enough odds, maybe next impulse...)
France naval

Port attack
To Kiel: CW NAV3, CVP Fulmar, CVP Swordfish, escorted by FTR3.

To La Spezia: US NAV2, CW NAV3, escorted by FTR2 and FTR3.

Allies can intercept FTR2 (7) to La Spezia and several planes to Kiel.

Axis can intercept with a lot of planes (I think it's easiest to check from your save file)

[Orm]

No intercepts. Thank you.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Suprise rolls

La Spezia Axis 9, Allies 2
Kiel Axis 5, Allies 5

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Heavy flak in Kiel (8,10)

Fullmar shot down and 3 points more reduced

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Allies use all 4 points to reduce AA in La Spezia to lowest of 3

Result 3,3,7
