Ah, sorry, I thought I was OK with what I was doing because of the card text EC noting an exception for activations while under ISR. But I realize that I used the wrong HQ, and the correct HQ is OOS. So I have corrected the move in a new file, and would like to adjust playing the card to OC for the purpose of your intel die roll. * 4825 (Espiritu Santo): [10AF LRB] moves to 4826 (Efate) * 4826 (Efate) : [10AF LRB] Deactivates. * 4826 (Efate): [10AF LRB] retires from Battle * 4825 (Espiritu Santo): 5AF Air moves to 4826 (Efate) * 4826 (Efate): 5AF Air retires from Battle * 4826 (Efate) : 5AF Air Deactivates. * 4825 (Espiritu Santo) : CA Northampton Activates. * 4825 (Espiritu Santo): CA Northampton moves to 4423 (Guadalcanal) * 4423 (Guadalcanal): CA Northampton joins Battle A Battle A AP A/N = 24 |

Hi, Jonathan. There's still one issue with the activation. Since you're in Rivalry, US Navy and US Army units can't both be activated during the same offensive. Rule 14.1C states: "Only US Army units OR US Navy units may be activated in this case, but other Allied units are not restricted." So you'll need to choose whether to activate the US Navy or the US Army in this offensive. Everything else looks fine. No rush—just correct it in whatever way you prefer. |

Hi Jonathan! I'm really happy to keep playing this game. I'm curious to see how it develops from here. You'll be getting reinforcements soon, and then it'll be your turn to start taking things back. 😊 I did notice one small rules issue, though. Since you're in Rivalry, you can't activate both the Army and the Navy in the same impulse. In this case, the 5AF activation has to be removed. How would you like to correct it? |

Hi Jonathan, Don’t worry about the rules — the learning curve is completely normal for such a complex wargame. Since this is a Ground Combat, with a roll of 0, I deal 13 damage to you (and flip the 2AUS-Inf); with a roll of 5, you deal 12 damage to me and flip the ED-Army. Therefore, with equal losses, I am forced to retreat to 3627 and remain OOS. |

I realize your ground units didn't AA, so disregard the +3 DRM note. I get an unmodified 5, so 1/2 result which is insufficient to do any damage. And with no damage either side, I understand the assault fails and you would do your PBM now |

So sorry about that Carlo, I appreciate your patience with a considerably less experienced player! I will re-read the rules to brush up. I just overwrote my reaction file, now to roll for intel |

Hi Jonathan, There are a few issues: a) The most important one: you can’t react because the battle hex is beyond the range of C.PAC-HQ, so you can’t bring in any units: "There must be at least one declared battle hex within range of this HQ (this range cannot be blocked by any means); if there are no such HQs, no reaction is possible. " Rule 7.26 b) Just for reference, you also couldn’t transport infantry through my ZOIs without CV support. c) The ground combat still needs to be resolved (without US-Marines) Please check, and if I’m correct, go ahead and resolve the ground combat. Thanks, and cheers. |

Hi Jonathan, There are a few errors: a) Your capital ships cannot hit my CVs because you have no air component. Rule 9.2.F4: “The corollary of this condition is that if one side has no air or carrier units present and the other does have one or more present, none of the air or carrier units can be damaged if they are not actually in the battle hex with opposing naval units.” b) Your reacting amphibious infantry unit cannot enter the P.M. hex because it is an un-neutralized Japanese ZOI. Rule 8.45B. Amphibious Assault Restrictions (Offensive and Reaction): “An Amphibious Assault unit may not enter or exit a hex within an un-neutralized opposing aircraft Zone Of Influence.” Please feel free to replay the entire reaction in light of these points. Cheers! |
