@Fortress:

Yeah, well… All good things must come to an end  :-D

Here’s the starting map.

Looks good

[Fortress]

Trying two things I’ve never done… I guess we’ll see how it works…

Need scramble orders for 109 and 111, please.

Need scramble orders for 109 and 111, please.

That G1 is almost a carbon copy of something I’ve done recently (well done). No scramble (and praying for good dice in 106)

[Fortress]

Cheering up the Canadian navy which sunk the merciless uboat pack off Halifax! This will allow the Canadian army to shore up Britain’s defenses.

Something came up last night, so Russians won’t be until tonight.

[Fortress]

Yeah, I know. If I was thinking (and had played the axis recently), I would’ve used 2 subs there. Not sure why I didn’t exactly. Oh well. Not the last mistake I’m going to make this game!  :lol:

No Scramble

[Fortress]

The two destroyers that I wrote out (first time doing this move) to stay in z6 seem to have disappeared.

I have to leave for work right now. I’m saving mid-turn and I’ll pick it back up when I get to work. My initial thought is that I misclicked and they ended up in the philippines.

From what I can see, the 2 destroyers participated to the battle in the Phillipines as a result of a combat move. The presence of the 2 destroyers there was not consequential to the outcome of the battle in zone 35, so it’s fine to retreat the 2 destroyers back to Japan. If the presence of the units had been important to the results of the battle, I would not be receptive because someone could pretend the units did not mean to go there if the battle goes well, but could not say anything if the units helped the battle. In this case, the battle should have gone well for Japan with / without scramble and the destroyers did not matter, so this principle does not really apply. Is this a fair point?

Interesting move by the way, awaking the sleeping giant early!

[Fortress]

Yeah, totally fair. I’d be willing to reroll my part of the battle if you wanted, just to assuage any concerns you may have. Kind of pointless to reroll your part of the battle, as you can’t get better than 2-for-2  :-)

I appreciate it.

Yeah, I’ve never gone J1 before. “Like…ever…” I don’t play Axis much, but the J3 Calcutta move seems to be my go-to where you move the fleet and the loaded transports in NCM behind any potential UK blockers before you DOW on J3. I got schooled on that one time, though, so I’m looking for a different opening.

I’ll finish up NCM. Let me know if you want me to reroll my half of the naval battle and I’ll set it up.

And thank you, sir.

@Fortress:

Yeah, totally fair. I’d be willing to reroll my part of the battle if you wanted, just to assuage any concerns you may have. Kind of pointless to reroll your part of the battle, as you can’t get better than 2-for-2  :-)

I appreciate it.

Yeah, I’ve never gone J1 before. “Like…ever…” I don’t play Axis much, but the J3 Calcutta move seems to be my go-to where you move the fleet and the loaded transports in NCM behind any potential UK blockers before you DOW on J3. I got schooled on that one time, though, so I’m looking for a different opening.

I’ll finish up NCM. Let me know if you want me to reroll my half of the naval battle and I’ll set it up.

And thank you, sir.

No reroll needed, just wanted to point this out for future occasions where this would matter.  :-D

I’m attacking 111 with 3 fighters, 1 bomber and 1 cruiser. Do you submerge the sub?

Also attacking 109 with 1 destroyer, 1 battleship, 1 cruiser and 1 fighter

I’m trying to post the combat moves on the board but I’m not finding where to do that.
