Yoktown is at Pearl coming out of refit, Lexington is on the West Coast and in 60 days I get another Essex Class and 2 Independence CVL's


I thought Yorktown had been sunk along with Victorious in Timor sea ? Or was it another ship ?

Anyway, I must say I really enjoy this AAR, thanks in part to your audacity. Instead of waiting for an inpenetrable allied death star an proceeding from there you play the game and try things. It really makes this war an interesting story for us spectators.

Keep on being audacious, it will pay off eventually !!

Hornet and Independence are at Pearl with the BB West Virginia

Lexington is 24 sys on the West Coast, with Tennesee (19), Revenge (63), Repulse (19), Missisipi (60), Pennsylvania (40), South Dakota (36)

Sunk so far

Yorktown, Intrepid, Indomitable, Victorious,Princeton and Hermes

Likely to sink Langly and Formidable

with Franklin, San Jacinto and Bataan arriving in next two months

Attacking with my forces in a PDU environment against a carefull opponent who preserves his forces like Pauk does is tough he is playing the defensive game exceptionally well.

PZB attacked giving opportunities to counter Pauk doesnt he sits back and forces you to come to him which is very very tough

Ah well plans they are afoot perhaps the next attack will go better

Not a great finish either BUT we did get through trained 60 xp pilots are just not good enough against these Japanese aces forged in the heat of bombing a disabled radar set 60 miles outside of Rabaul for 18 months - the masters of the low level ground attack prove themselves to be the master of HL A2A once more

Actually the odds were not much in my favour and I was outside of my radar coverage but none the less thats a months worth of P38's and you can be sure that Pauk will replace his quicker than I can.

PDU plus Ground Attack training and control of production IMO is going to prove extremly tough to play if the allies Gd Attack train and may well be impossible for those like me who refuse to

My losses were heavy no question but I have a fresh B25 Group that can take up the strain and with P38J's coming on stream I would hope to keep Rabaul quiet

If I can I can advance onto New Britain and capture Gasmata or Sag Sag or move toward Finchafsen and Lae whatever happens I now need to take a page out of Nomads book and try and launch low risk invasions against Pauks MLR

I will land 2 Army Corps totaling 8 Divisions over the beaches and will move immediately to reduce Rabaul

Decision made if Burma and the Marshalls are stalemated thre Rabaul will be mine !!!

I will attack Gasmata Sag Sag and other bases in the vicinity

I have pretty much all of 40th US Div at Gasmata there now flown in by C46 Commandos and supplied by C47's

I tried another raid in China I am determined to keep his pilot quality down at all costs in PDU I MUST interupt his training 'schools' if I don't I am dead.

Status: offline 		OK Guys life has been very busy for the last few weeks but I am now back and able to update the AAR.

Broadly the last 6 weeks have been quiet with me gaining air superiority as we approach 44 I have not made great inroads and am hung up in SWPAC and SOPAC.

I have made a policy decision not to attack up the malaria infested NG route been there done that Pauk is to organised and his carriers are intact its not the route for me.

An attack to recover north aus and DEI is more valuable as is an all out attack on the Marshalls.

Both are being prepared.

My intent is a double envelopment on a grand scale with attacks on Kwaj - Entiwock - Wake - Marianas or Bonins

On the left I am considering several options

1. Attack Java - Singapore

2. Attack Southern Burma - Malaya

3. Attack Malaya with combined Aussie, Indian Army

4. Attack North Aus - Sulawesi - Borneo

All options are live at present and I probably favour 3. at present but time will tell which way I go

The Marshalls seem to be extremely difficult for Allied players to re-capture in WitP.

It would help if you could post some screen shots to refresh our memories.

I admit I do have a thang about Malaya but I am getting a little predictable but its such a good strategic position so many bases to defend right on the jap LOC.

BUT I am getting predictable so I may go elsewhere.....
