  • 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…

    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:

    End of US1. Proceeding with R2 later, tomorrow night. You are a great opponent! :-)

    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…

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

    well only during the week (monday-thursday)

  • '16 Customizer

    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.

  • '16 Customizer

    I assume you placed the last fighter you bought (3) on WUS as well? You only placed 2

  • '16 Customizer

    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.
