Rematch 4 player game (Orm, Peskpesk, jjdenver and Mayhemizer)

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Of course no problem, that's why I stopped there.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Destroyed pool in N/D 1944.

Allies lost 5 planes and 4 pilots. That is what happens when you fight over enemy territory

I need to confirm is US unit placement (East Coast - West Coast) OK for JJ but I roll the initiative now.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Axis win initiative 8-2

No reroll, Axis go first. Too bad, there was nice looking pocket forming up in Romania...

[Mayhemizer_slith]

It looks like winter

[Mayhemizer_slith]

US reinf is OK, Axis may continue.

[Orm]

I expect to begin our impulse tomorrow, Thursday.

Jan/Feb '45
Impulse #1 (Axis)

Land: Germany, Italy
Combined: Japan
Naval:

No Port Strikes.

Naval Air:
Japan:
FTR2 + NAV2 (N China + Japan) -> China Sea 3-box

Naval Movement:
Japan:
4 BB + 2 CA (Fukuoka + Tokyo) -> China Sea 0-box

Japan search in the Bay of Bengal. Any Allied air added?

NAV2 from Burma box 0, thank you.

[Orm]

Jan/Feb '45
Impulse #1 (Axis)

No contact in Bay of Bengal (5-5).

Next search is in Bismarck Sea. Any Allied air? Plenty of them available.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

9 range FTR2 in Truk to box 0. Any other planes in Truk?

[Orm]

A NAV3 with 22 on range is also based on Truk.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

NAV3 to box 4, thank you.

[Orm]

Both sides roll 4. I am continuing with the assumption that Allies go with naval air, and all points to increase the damage on the SUB.

1463.jpg (262.86 KiB) Viewed 244 times

[Orm]

SUB is damaged. and stay for a second round. Allies stay as well with no new air. Or so I presume and roll for another search.

Jan/Feb '45
Impulse #1 (Axis)

Allies find again (5-2).

Edit: I was in error. The SUB is not automatically sunk, unless an abort is allowed on the US BB. Proceed with naval air and that should do the trick and sink the SUB regardless (or make it sit out the war in the repair pool).

Of course...

Demoralized, the Japanese player doesn't bother with any further searches.

[Orm]

We expect to finish our impulse tomorrow.

[Orm]

I apparently have messed up the save I got from peskpesk, so I was not able to complete out impulse. I hope to get a new save soon.
