Very sorry for my late reply! Ah yes, I see where your confusion is with what was happening. You are right that I won the air naval battle because I had more strength left over at the end of the battle. So in that case, you don’t proceed to the ground assault to see if you can flip the hex to your control. Instead you get turned back instead of the battle proceeding - but your ground unit doesn’t take any damage. See rule 8.45 C: Concluding Amphibious Assault. It basically says that if the Offensive amphibious assaulting units are not in a friendly-controlled hex at the conclusion of battle resolution (meaning they lost either the air-naval or ground battle), they must conduct Post-Battle Movement (PBM) like a naval unit. These units must end their movement in a friendly port or coastal hex; if they cannot reach one, they are eliminated. In your case you won’t have trouble finding an eligible port. The reason why I moved only part of my units in my PBM was that I am choosing to simply leave the one naval unit, the Kongo, in that failed battle hex that I still control. I could have left more within the stacking limit of course. So it wasn’t that I was retreating, just doing my normal PBM, and doing it first because I am the reacting player. So now you would do you PBM of the ground unit and the two naval units. After that it will be my card, but I already know I will use my one and only pass, so you can also make your next move. |

Hey, Ive been struggling to work out what was going on when you resolved the combat. At the end of combat, you would have more combat strength remaining in the battle hex than me. So would not the attacker retreat? Also when you did retreat, looks like BB Kongo is still in the battle hex. Again Im not 100% sure you were retreating the other units in PBM in your files. Please review and advise. |

AP 1X result = 38 IJP 1/2 result = 40 * 4222 (Buin) : [BB Yamato] suffers a step loss. * 4121 (Green) : [28 AF] suffers a step loss. * 4322 (New Georgia) : [CA Aoba] suffers a step loss. (I assume this is what you would pick as it perfectly uses up the 38 damage, but you can of course choose different units if you like. Note that I originally applied hits to two of my air units but realized that wasn’t possible as you had only one ranged unit in battle so adjusted in a revised log file) * 4222 (Buin) : [BB Washington] suffers a step loss. * 4222 (Buin) : [BB North Carolina] suffers a step loss. My PBM * 4222 (Buin): CA Aoba moves to 4322 (New Georgia) * 4222 (Buin): [BB Yamato] moves to 4020 (Kavieng) * 4222 (Buin): BB Hiei moves to 3820 (Admiralty Islands) Bty for PBM and emergency move of the ground unit (as the AA fails because you lost the A/N combat in that I have more strength/factors at the end of the battle) |

Yeah exactly, you will only get the replacements this final turn as all your reinforcements go to the delay box (and the box was empty, otherwise you would get previously delayed units). If there had been either/or a HQ unit or US B29 Air units in your T6 reinforcements, you would still get them as they can never be delayed. If we were playing a longer game you would also roll a die for each one to see if they get sent to europe, but no point given this is the final turn. So you can just place your replacements and draw cards (7) |

Sounds good, I just cc'd you on the email. I will do my very best to play a move each day if it is my turn so we can keep the pace up. If there is any way you can do the same that would be ideal. Bty for next move |

Hi Jonathan. I totally agree. Lets ask for an extension. Either way, lets play this out to completion, regardless |

Hi John, The organizer was emailing today asking about our game outcome. Currently I am in the decisive victory category, but of course as the game goes on the allies get stronger and the Japanese weaker. So in the last two turns it could turn around. Either way I want to continue playing with you to the end. Shall we tell the organizer we need an extension and then both try to play our moves as fast as possible, or do you want to call the game as far as the winner and then still play for fun? |

Sorry about the PBM goof, fixed now in an updated log file. Looking back in the log, it seems I made sort of just a statement and you didn't say otherwise, so my assumption was we were playing the VP version. And that is the version I have been basing my moves around. I do believe this is really the only proper way to play South Pacific in a competitive setting. I hope that's ok with you... "As well, just to clarify, my understanding is that we would play the victory points option for South Pacific versus the simplified port control. I have played the training version with port control as the only victory condition, and it really takes the game down a lot in my mind. Apparently in any tournament it would always be the victory points option." |

Can you please confirm if we are using Port Control or VP Schedule for the victory conditions for this scenario. I think you asked me at the start of the game and Im not sure I responded. |

Wow, that was bloody. You still have an aircraft remaining in the battle hex. I think you probably need to do PBM for that unit also. |

AP gets 1.5X result with 11 factors, so 17 damage * 3822 (Lae): SS Bde is eliminated IJP rolls 1 but then +2 DRM for air +2 DRM for naval = 5. So 1/2 result, 5 damage which does nothing You win the hex, and get the other, giving you 2 POW * Lae: Allies have captured 3 progress of war hexes * 3822 (Lae) is now Allied controlled. * Nauru: Allies have captured 4 progress of war hexes * 4719 (Nauru) is now Allied controlled. My PBM * 3822 (Lae): BB Kongo moves to 4222 (Buin) * 3822 (Lae): BB Hiei moves to 3720 (Wewak) And now I have a card left but it is FO and you can’t play that last, so turn is over. AP goes first in reinforcements. Bty for that |

Please just remember to keep advancing the file number at the start of the naming convention with each new thing you upload, just to keep it all in order. No need to mark Nauru as a battle hex, as it was empty so it isn’t a battle area that I can react to. It is just a hex you have taken. You would have used your second and last ASP for the turn, so I have marked that for you.
