The_lucky_Y

here is the map with my setup and your setup:

By The_Lucky_Y

violet squares shows your avengers
light blue ones your wildcats
light blue with red inside your hellcats

light blue circles my zekes

would be a easy going victory for you.

The_lucky_Y

here the map with both surface movement:

By The_Lucky_Y

packertim

after your movement, my first air move will be hellcat to I 26 and wildcat to I19

The_lucky_Y

one zeke above I-19 and one zeke above I-26

packertim

avenger to i19 and to i26

The_lucky_Y

another zeke to I 19 and one to I- 26

packertim

hellcat to i19, avenger to i26

The_lucky_Y

last zeke to i-26

ok i do my AA rolls

all AA rolls have a minus 1 dice penalty because all avengers have escorts

first AA over I-26

zeke#1 with ED1 and surpriise vs 1st avengerRolls: (9d6)

zeke#2 with ED1 and surprise vs 1st avenger or second avengerif not abortedRolls: (9d6)

zeke#3 vs remaining units avengers first then wildcatRolls: (8d6)

AA rolls over i-19

zeke#4 vs avengerRolls: (8d6)

zeke#5 vs avengerRolls: (8d6)

or vs wildcat if avenger aborted.

The_lucky_Y

one lesson learned never go on official tournaments with any axis fleet never again

packertim

I saved my last WC

Am I correct in that only 1 Avenger made itthrough against I26 , other 2 were aborted

The_lucky_Y

yes thats alright

now its 6 roll time but its not my rolls

The_lucky_Y

just a dice roll try counts nothing.

Rolls: (3d6)

Rolls: (3d6)

packertim

i19 sunk

The_lucky_Y

and i suggest a easy going for you only playing to confirm that

moving yamato two spaces towards center objective
moving shoho sisters two spaces straight forward

I-26 on sector straight towards the middle

init roll is useless

The_lucky_Y

here the map with my surface already done:

By The_Lucky_Y

assume that you place all avengers back on the saratoga because you have one wildcat on the airbase for escort.

The_lucky_Y

both zekes above yamato

packertim

saratoga to e2

barb1 to 7b

barb2 to 7d
