OMG what a turn... OK I screwed the pooch and didnt realise that Apanami was an Attol - Idiot me. I assumed PZB would either play it long or throw the kitchen sink at me. Well you all know PZB - guess what 1 kitchen sink incoming !!! Looks like the whole dammed IJN thats left came out to play anyway I was sorta ready for them but what a turn. The IJN went down but not without taking a hell of a bite out of the USN - not many ships are sunk but I have a LOT of cripples. Pretty much every Japanese ship is now sank but they put up a hell of a fight. Stacking no more than 5 Fleet CV's is a pain as reaction moves are dispersing my CAP I have now convertewd every TF to be an escort TF and ordered all but 5 CV's back to Isheak - no point in risking more I can only stack 5 plus CVE's. I need to wait another day for my disruption to fade and my remaining undamaged BB's to rearm from the AE's at Isheak. As I have a day or so I have odered LBA to crucify Okinawa - PZB is obviously basing fighters there so I wat to eliminate the threat as its the only Shinden Sweep Base in range of Apananami - If I was PZB I would stick 300 Shindens there and sed 150 to Sweep Apanami that way he could attrit my Carriers if I was thick enough to send em back in. So every Black Widow, B29, P51, P38 and B24 I can raise are going to attack Okinawa tomorrow. All my CAG's are set to 0% naval search and all my TBM's and DB's are also set to 0% search - lastly every fighter in the fleet is set to range 0 - The USAAF will need to get the job done alone...
