I made a mistake, a TRN can only carry a INF with TNK, not ART. Luckily it didn’t make a difference in the rolls. Please consider that I’ve transported an INF to Kar instead.

I removed the 2nd fighter plane from GBR (you had 2 left, when one landed in Russia) and changed the carrier you put in SZ 3 into a destroyer (they’re so hard to see).
Attached is the file. I’ll start my J1 Turn soon. -

All of this combat assumes that you absorb any hits you can with your capital ships. Without naval bases in Spring 1942 there is no incentive not to, so…

–Round 2 Combat–
This time I’ll remember the surprise by your defending sub in hawaii- not that it matters for the first few rounds cause I absorb anyway.

I’m utterly disgusted with my troops performance! :x Not a scratch on the japs!
I think you are incorrect regarding AC absorbing hits. Only battleships get to take 2 hits. Didn’t change the outcome of these battles, though.
If you could let me chime in with a SUB submerge instead that would be good next time. Hawaii was a losing battle by the odds, could have foregone the surprise strike and saved the silent service.
I do have another FTR in GBr, I bought 2 during UK1.
I’ll post US1 after some thinking. The Pacific war is disturbing… :cry:

Check out the ‘toolbar’ at the bottom, we can record turns (1st row) and IPC there (2nd row), and capitals possession (last row). I have no idea what the 3rd row is…

Forgot to attach.
Do you still need me to send these posts+file to your email?

well only during the week (monday-thursday)

I’m very sorry about the Sub in Hawaii… I completely forgot I didn’t have a Destroyer. you can keep it if you want- my mistake, your benefit :) And for AC, you’re right. I’ve been playing Europe and Global, so I’m a bit fuzzy on the rules for 1942 :|
Yes, I was pleasantly surprised with my J1. Russia will be the crucial turn to see whether my luck goes south… we’ll see!
-
It’s ok about the sub, honest mistake. I won’t take it back…me having a sub might have changed your mind about buying a Japanese sub and instead a destroyer. Too many what-ifs.
Yes R2 is going to be interesting. I hate these huge battles personally…more a fan of small tactical skirmishes.
-
I assume you placed the last fighter you bought (3) on WUS as well? You only placed 2
-
That’s why I like Global…or at least Europe or Pacific. There’s more room to maneuver and act tactically…not as many choke points
-
Yes I left out the new fighter. In WUS now.
