Pacific War: The struggle against Japan, 1941-1945, Engagement scenario 1

[@jimoverman8438]

Great video. Well done, nice presentation of the charts added to the video, especially with the mark ups, instead of shown in a camera shot.

Great stuff

Why did you only go through the air mission preliminary procedure for the second wave and not the first?

[@waltdog123]

Excellent quality really hope you keep producing content…much appreciated!

[@holgersvensk1043]

Thank you!

Small nits to pick: 1. In the second battle cycle, the US player can search up to two hexes out (scenario rule) so he could have searched with his LRA when the Japanese strike was incoming and may have spotted the strike 2 hexes away. The US, of course, could not have done anything about it but at least they had spotted the Japanese, they would not need to have spotted the Japanese as they entered Pearl to be alerted. 2. The -5 DRM is applied to all Japanese air strikes on the first cycle. It doesn't say that it applies only to naval targets

[@johnsy4306]

Oops...I think I am mistaken in #1 above. Air units can only be searched by units in the hex (24.3.4B and 28.5.1)

[@Bangy88]

Best video of this scenario so far. Really good explained! And clarification: critical hits are only against naval units, not strafing air units. I was the same mistake too a couple of times. Also, after the air strike on the first cycle, a flak attack must be done by USA

Great video! I was struggling with understanding the rule on target identification (28.11C), as I don't think it ever explains that a "group" is determined by the attacker--you were selecting 3 ships, but you could have selected 5 or 1. This clarified that! Thank you!

Glad to be of help!

Question… is each battle cycle a ‘mission’? Or are cycles considered part of the whole mission? At 16:28 you say you can only send in air units once per mission. I’m just trying to understand the architecture of a mission. Thanks! And great video!!!

[@holgersvensk1043]

A battle cycle contains a number of phases. One of the phases is "advantage air mission phase". In the advantage air mission phase you can make as many air missions as you like. One at a time. No aircraft can participate in more than 1 mission. Hope that clarifies.

[@SH3Bstanko6]

@@holgersvensk1043 it does. Thank you. I was playing side by side with you. Had my pieces and board out. You are a great teacher!

[@jeremyjones2754]

Thanks for the series of videos! Is it possible for you to make the chart available that shows Task Force composition requirements?

[@holgersvensk1043]

I have sent BGG a jpg of the chart. It should be available any time now(It needs approval)

[@mikerichardson1549]

Nice video. Note that critical hits only apply to naval units, not air units. Also you cannot attack air units as a group; single targets only.

[@rkfm4089]

That first strafing attack, don't you use the Anti-Ground strength not the Anti-Air (The 6 not the 7)?

[@rkfm4089]

Was watching another video and and you do use the Anti-Air strength per rule 28.12 when attacking grounded aircraft.

[@genchaos3385]

There is an error in your 2nd Battle Cycle and the Japan Air Strike. Japan has 6 F-air units. Since none of those air units were aborted or eliminated, there will be 6 airstrikes vs the US BBs. Even though one of the Japan air units is used for Escort, that unit STILL gets to perform its airstrike.

[@holgersvensk1043]

Thank you for pointing out the error. I will point it out in description.

[@kevinpaulson2659]

This helped me understand the rules. Thanks

[@melin1971]

Skulle du kunna tänka dig göra såna här videos på svenska?

[@holgersvensk1043]

Det är inte omöjligt. Tänker mest att de flesta svenskar kan engelska. Tror du det finns ett behov?
