Excellent video, I appreciate that you stayed focused on the content, covered all the rules and showed what a possible invasion would have looked like. I'm learning the game so this really helps me. Extra kudos for the Hawaiian music at the end. My only question (that I need to find the answer for) is what happens if the US Fighter survives and then searches for the task force at 1 hex distance and finds them, would they get an attack? Guess I need to read the rule book more, it's a lot to absorb, but it's worth it! thanks again!
In the Engagement rules, '2.3.1 Base Units Base units are immobile ground units that have a single step, size (small or large), an anti-air flak rating, and a launch capacity.' Do we have to fight the base as well? Does that add to the size of steps? If so, it would not matter, because it would equal three and you would have the same result.
Nice video! However, (and I hope I am not really wrong...) at 10:20 the scenario is not lost yet. In fact, fortresses can be attacked in Naval Combat! (refer to rule 2.3.4 - second paragraph). That means you should have engaged the fortress in Naval Battle Cycle at the moment you reach the island with your task force. Your cruisers had their chances of finishing the fortress. Please, correct me if my assumption is not correct.
Thanks for the video as I'm just learning the game. When you rolled for the bomber you rolled on the zero then four column (2 power against air/ground - 4 for the damage counter), but you didn't make the 2nd die roll of 0-4 to see if it hit. You stated that the American air unit should have survived, but it still could have been hit with a 2nd roll correct? I could very well be wrong, but I was just wondering.
You are correct. I also point this out in the text intermission. I was rolling on the 0 column by mistake. I shouldve rolled on the 0(4) column meaning I shouldve rolled another die, like you mention. I point at the correct column on overlay as I caught my error in editing.

I think it may have been instructive to do a second battle cycle w the fortress still intact
In the Engagement rules,
'2.3.1 Base Units
Base units are immobile ground units that have a single step, size (small
or large), an anti-air flak rating, and a launch capacity.'
Do we have to fight the base as well? Does that add to the size of steps? If so, it would not matter, because it would equal three and you would have the same result.

Ok! I realized that you mentioned this on 13:20. Never mind :)
Again, thank you for these awesome videos!
