Uncommon Valor - Campagne pour le Pacifique Sud

[Micke]

Ce tour les Alliés ont profité de la superefficacité des avions torpilleurs. Les navires touchés ont évidemment coulé comme des pierres.
A AE les resultats ne font pas dans la dentelle
A noter que dans ma partie contre Jeca un Hudson a touche un transport
Un coup sur 100

Les exocets provoquent de gros incendies à cause du carburant non consommé

Suite à l'installation du bétapatch, j'ai eu un bug:
une unité en danger d'encerclement en Malaisie a vu son mouvement annulé et donc remis à zéro. Elle est foutue mais c'est pas grave, elle était déjà super amochée.

Une attaque aéroportée qui échoue pour ce tour


Je précise que pour les 3 assauts principaux du tour (Rabaul, Amboine, Tarakan), Micke n'a fait de pilonnage naval que pour Rabaul ce qui explique en partie la résistance alliée et l'apparente efficacité des CD;
quant à la raison de Micke, je sais pas?? peut être en rapport avec notre dernière partie??

Bon, j'ai décidé d'envoyer toute la flotte de guerre en 3 escadres pour soutenir la garnison de Amboine; donc bombardement et naval attack en retirement allowed.
A mon grand étonnement et déception, les 3 escadres se placent toutes à des distances différentes de Amboine donc 1 beaucoup trop près, elles est détectée;
bon, j'ai rien compris ... la suite au prochain post.
