Japan puts results on enemy fighters to begin with, and on our own bombers when we get to decide.

I’m away from home byt will continue tonight.

Just to clarify: CVP with A2A 3 and Naval factor 6 fly as fighter?

This is how I understood it, I hope it's what you intended.

In my test run I think did otherwise the same, but those fighter 3 naval 6 were bombers. Then odds were +/- 7, so this is maybe +/- 6

2 surprise points are saved for the later moment, most likely AA or damage phase

Allies moved P38 and NAV3 further behind as P38 is supposed to take the biggest AA hit and protect CVPs.

First round Axis 14, Allies 11

Both clear front bomber.

Situation after 3 rounds

3 Allied bombers cleared, 1 Axis bomber cleared and 2 aborted

Situation after 5 rounds

Nice rolls from the Axis, but bad odds gave result "none". Axis lost their best fighter and one bomber aborted.

I guess there is not much Axis can do but to continue and hope. Or is there some good reason to abort?

EDIT: Only two fighters left, all the others are CVPs.

Axis stay for two more rounds and then we will see if we stay further, or aborts.

Rounds 6-7 resulted two more fighters shot down from Japan

I had hoped for a cleared bomber, and that you didn't get to pick a fighter to destroy. Alas, that was not to be. With a CV fighter first we will try one more round.

As requested, Japanese bomber cleared

As long as I have a CVP front fighter I stay. After that is got I will ponder anew.

Japan cleared third bomber before losing the front fighter

Then we abort the air combat- Now Japan really miss the kamikaze option.

I landed CVPs as game suggested, but I landed two 1 size CVPs to 1 size CVs as I know I'm not going to target them but I target those bigger ones loaded with planes

EDIT: I will redo or find a solution if I made a too tempting targets and there are empty CVs

I expect heavy flak

Allies choose to shoot down F4F-3 in bottom left corned and abort P38

Which of the two planes are shot down by Allies AA?

Save the smaller size CVP with most in naval air.

I think I need to redo naval air combat as 2 good CVP with 6 naval factors landed on size 6 CV and one of them would have fit to another CV. I will definitely target X on that CV.
