Status: offline 		Hi again

I'm in may 1942 in my PBEM game. I've sunk (i'm pretty sure...) the 3 american CV that are present at game start.

Now I'm wondering what CV the allies can expect to have present in the next 6 months to a year.

I've allready spotted one or 2 British CVL or CVE in the indian ocean, but no sign of any american CVs in the pacific...i'm getting worried because i've split my KB...

thanks

Status: offline 		Well its scenario 2... I've split my KB to send some CV to cover my OPS near Upper Sumatra and the Indian Ocean...

Maybe I should regroup in and around Rabaul and do some raiding south to catch some convoys... he could have 3 CV right now right... Hornet, Wasp and Yorktown... I dont wanna meet them with just 3-4 CV of my own, i'd rather have a full KB...

Any good rampage targets ? Australian coast, or Pearl Harbor, or SOuth Pacific sealanes...

Rampage means secure DEI quick then move on a place he cannot suspect and suits your purpose.

The Jap CV could go anywhere BUT I advise you be careful in the rstricted DEI waters as surface TF prowl about and there are or could be a lot of subs. In my game PBEM 2 DAY TURNS SCN 2 the allied played has had 4 sub attacks on my CV lucky all have missed - all in the DEI. In future after about Jan I would be very cautious about using CV there . Having said that mine are there now covring taking Batavia and PBG ( APRIL42) . I have one CVE just with 20 ASW planes ( trained) plus 3 ASW TF In the same hex as well as a surface TF in case an allied cruiser decides to try and Kmikaze.

Status: offline 		Do most PBEM players routinely mine the restricted waters of the DEI? Should new players looking for advice be warned against traversing the straits between Java and Sumatra as a result?

I play against a heavily beefed up AI in the Ironman scenario and I have to refrain from mining obvious locales like the straits mentioned above or the AI kamikazes the entire KB on my minefields.

Hate to see an unsuspecting newbie get his clock cleaned because he wasn't warned.

All of the British carriers are withdrawn after a few months, plus their airgroups are not big enough to pose much of a threat. As long and you do not do anything radically dumb , you should be able to split KB and be resonably safe.
