Good points BB. I was hoping to get that CL in amongst the slower APD's but alas, it didn't go that way. I'm going to start sending PT boats after the ships buzzing around Fukue-Jima.

So this PB/SC tf has been guarding the straights between Honshu and Hokkaido – on the *west* side of the straights. After the IJN CV sightings of a couple days ago, my Fast Raider TF’s were in place. Well I decided to send a “slow” Fast Raider fleet to see if they could deal with this menace to my subs, and also flush out whatever Cruft had in Hokkaido. Looks like the engagement turned out better for me, than him. Kinda happy about that, never played to the point where I had these PF ships, didn’t really know their capabilities. I figured they were better than PB/PC/SC’s, but not as good as DE’s or DD’s.

So my B29’s failed to fly the last two days in the daytime. So I’ll send them in at night on a firebombing attack. I plan on firebombing Osaka for the next 3-4 days in a row. The next attack will probably be split between day and night, and will have about ½-3/4’s of the planes, cuz I only had my b29s on 10% rest. I’m going to up that to 30-40% across the board to keep em flying daily over the next few days. Everything will be a city attack to see what kind of fires I can generate. Anyhow – this day’s events was very uncoordinated, as the next 10 combats will show. PS – this is the way the devs can deal with the “massive 2k plane strike”, increase the coordination penalties so strikes come in all split up.
