Great video, I am very happy that you are doing these teaching videos. I would make one comment, when you do the three Japanese air strikes prior to the Battle Cycle are complete air missions, so the Marines get to try to detect and use CAP for each of the air missions. Likely they will fail once and then be eliminated by a strike on the base OR they will shoot down the Japanese bombers, I have seen it both ways. Also, the two Search charts are different and from memory if the detection roll was 5 or less, I think you were using the Japanese, not the American chart. But its not in front of me, so I could be mistaken. Again, great stuff...
Mark, thank you very much for kind words. Indeed, I learned only later that the search charts are different. Those mini-scenarios are great way for me to learn the game piece by piece and I will for sure will try to put this knowledge to good use on Battle scenarios. Great design, thanks!
Thanks for the videos as I'm just trying to learn the game. I've watched you roll for the bomber twice on the 2 column, but the bomber has a 4 counter on it so shouldn't it be rolling on the 0 then 4 column (meaning they have to roll a zero, then roll a 0-4 to hit) when attacking the marines or the Wake fortification (2 power against ground -4 for the damage counter)? If not, then what am I missing? Thanks in advance.
You are correct, I made mistake. The base vs Ground strength is 5 for bomber, -4 so it should be in column 1. Critical hit anyhow nicely comes along here (remember, fortifications are Naval units so the Critical Hit works against them).

I just got my copy yesterday!!! Your videos really help. Thank you.
There will be more. Enjoy great design!
Thank you. These are great.
Still learning the game!
Very good
Thanks!

You're right. The 2 power would be vs air, so the 0/4 column for them. They are 5 power vs ground and naval, so it would be 1 column for them. Thanks
@@davidmillette4727 We all are learning that great game. I just hope I could be of help with my materials.
