Status: offline 		I had my invasion off Lae all set. 4 carriers TFs 3 CVEs guarding 14 APs. 2 surface TF are bombarding Lae. I am kicking a$$. For some reason my APs will not unload to assault Lae. I must have left the invasion TF to Do Not Unload I think. I go to change it to Unload. What do I find? I forgot to load the transports! I gues that will push back the invasion a few weeks

Status: offline 		Blame the Truk harbour master!  I did something far worse in a PBEM.  I'd intended to have taken Manila by a certain date so I started loading up a BIG transport TF to ship engineers, AV units and HQ units into Manila to arrive at Manila once the city was taken.  Well, the timetable fell apart...BUT I forgot to cancel the convoy.  Cue about 20 AP's with a half dozen escorts sailing right under the Corregidor fortress guns with the expected results and much swearing on my part (and commiseration from my opponent!)

Actually things turned out a bit more humorous and perhaps indeed the defenders would have taken me up on the offer. I had been planning this invasion since taking Bun in early Jan 43. Taking Buna was a hell off a battle. I was going to be prepared for the next one. I had 4 more troop TFs which were to follow. It took 2 weeks game time to get the APs of the planned first wave back to friendly port, loaded, and back to the coast of Lae. It is June 43 I have been bombing the hell out of Lae since Sept of 42. My troops finally land. What do I find? Some demoralized support troops, 100 damage to airfield, 100 damage to air support, and 90 damage to port. I could have taken Lae with a girl scout troop!

In other words, you had adequate pre-invasion preparation.

Naw... the port was still partly functional. Gotta have something for the SeaBees to do.
