I suspect FatR will have to go to Rabaul to resupply his BBs because I was bombing his little ports to drive off the AKEs.� So I should have free naval movement around Tulagi now .

So he either brings down another BB TF or loses naval control of this area...

I note post 476. looks like the remaints of the Kongo TF which ran into my Arliegh Burke DD TF...That was a hell of a running gun battle. Dont know yet if Burke was killed....

Also I am looking at the threads and followed the suggestion of using one CL w/ 3/4 DDs. Not sure it worked in this event as moonlight was 97%. So I will be asking FatR what he thinks in a private email.

I will get CRs for u GJ and probably post onto the above individual screen prints. On further review it seems I was dealing w/ 2 IJN TFs instead of 2....man I would have been in big TROUBLE if they had broke thru to the Amphibs...

For the record, I had 4 amphib TFs in the hex. � TF125 ordered to Kira and the other 3 ordered to follow tf125.� The first tf did unload at Kira and then the APAs got sunk by the betties I guess because they unloaded.� TF125 Tf had an AM and a PG which where not hit.� The other 3 TFs did not unload because they followed TF125.� So they where saved because they where not unloading when the betties hit....�

I had to have everyone follow TF125 to protect from the VT which did attack 2 turns in a row.� I dont see how to get all the TFs to unload in the hex at the same time unless the turn before arrival at destination I order all amphib TFs to an objective hex.

I could put everything into one Big TF. But that would have been bad in this senario.

43-5-18: today we invaded Horn Island w/ one AUS inf bde and one AUS AR regiment.� Alittle more than what I expected-a level five fort w/ 2xSNLF units, one AABN and a base force.� I made a 1=2 shock attack..I figured I might not go thru a shock attack if Horn Island holds 60000 troops.� Good news is the Jap Fleet is very busy in Lunga area. I killed 550 japs for 150 of mine.

I notice your bombers are going in and bombing on naval attack at 100ft. When I have mine training at 100ft the straf skill goes up. Did you train yours at 1000ft for lowN or 100ft?

From private email:

FatR:
As about my opinion on the optimal TF size, you can deduce it from what TF I'm actually using. I feel that combat results validate it. Your DDs kicked a lot of ass, but I think that's primarily the function of their superior guns.

I trained at 100 ft lowN. Do U think it better to train at 1000ft?
And please define "straf/kill"?

Just looked at current lowN training at 100ft. Seems my level bomber pilots ARE training in Straif instead of LowN...I am using most current beta. In 1106i these pilots trained as lowN.

In the Beta 100ft means train strafe, 1000ft means train low(whatever).

Before I look at the game turn looks like a Bombardment TF was ordered to stay in hex at tulagi by accident. Lucky for me no damage after 2 phases of betties sorties.
My turn crashed during production and I had to stay up late to get it out(made me sleepy and tired). Combined w/ IJN Subs attacking this tf on the move slowed its arrival to daylight and lucky the betties are tired from their bombing of Kira.

Anyway the intent was to bombard tulagi, separate the fighters from the bombers and kill the betties over Kira. Plan did work but i did not put enought fighters over kira to realy screw up FatR.

Chalk up an operational victory for the allies.� The IJN soloman battle line had been on resupply to milne bay when he spotted a large fleet headed toward Lunga.� FatR did react and we did have a sea battle at Kira with my intent to pull him away from the Horn Island attack.

Now I have horn island and kirakawa.

I am surprised FatR has not committed the CV TFs..I have a counter plan for that also.

Turns are getting long and slow. Allies have alot of stuff.

Burma.� Nips have 3 level seven AFs in the irrawaddy valley.� Magwa has alot of 88mmAAunits but the other two seem less defended from the air.� Starting with a full moon I have tried to disrupt operation on the weaker defended AFs w/ constant night bombing after an initial daylight b24 attack w/60 planes.� Recon shows the effect.� I have burned some supply in this effort.� I hope to have caused the japs to expend some supply to rebuild. �Hopefully my recon reports indicate a possible higher level of damage at these bases. My objective is to eventually cause Fatr to w/draw his planes(and units) from magwe.

I suspect an armored uDiv at mandaley, a inf brigade at metelika, Inf Div+ at magwe.

Tracker intel reports 5 divisions prepped for Lil Andy. if I make a push into Burma I suspect these units will be sent to reinforce by sea from singers.

Over kirikiwa: The RA70 modified a6m4 stands toe to toe w/ the F6F.

FatR has used betties in AF attack to suppess kiri where I have to fly LRCAP from ndendi from time to take to cause casualities. I placed 80 f6fs on LRcap and 8 participated in the air battle.

I have used over 100000tons of fuel in the SOPAC so i wonder the effect on FatR of having to run his battle fleet all the time.
