Playing the 2nd turn of the TSC campaign.
We had a Jap bombardment mission arriving to find a US supply mission. Approach started (squalls on the way…) then the weather turned to Force 8 and visibility 5000y. I (jap) decided to wait a few turns (hove to) as visiblity was reduced to 5000y and well the fighting not promising (btw I did not find if torps can be launched, which I doubt).
The Us could not land stuff anymore. No more weather changes for 10 turns, I assumed the japs would abort.
I assumed the US too would not stay for nothing and scoot in the night rather than wait for aunt Betty in daytime.

So what happens to the index and missions?

no US supply?

no bombardement?

Not sure about the campaign effect.

If bad weather gets in the way, would not both sides try again when the weather improves?

Regarding torpedoes, have a look at the weather chart…
Down three CRT rows in Force 8.

Cheers

Thank you for your answer. I decided for no missions for both sides. Actually, as I think the "missions" are a sort of general idea of what each side focuses on (it is a month, after all) next time I won't allow the weather to kill an encounter.
