The CVs near the Celebes reads as 3 CVs to me (~270 aircraft). Did you get a read on which units were there? Not that there's any real difference in the durability of the USN CVs... The Lexingtons are a bit hardier, but not by much.

The other TF reads as Wasp + a full size CV (~160 aircraft).

Obviously CVEs could not have covered that distance (unless they were really scared). So even his proud CVs are easily routed at the slightest suggestion of a battle.

Consider the instructor's directive "Put your putts in the hole".

But since that would be rather cheesey, to say the least, I will not ask it.

Status: offline 		Now I had the KB following the landing TF by 0 hexes. Each have their own escort TFs following them. I know from experience that if you make an operation like that too complecated you may end up with a mess. Here you see that the KB and her escorts moved only 3 hexes while the invasion fleet moved eight, not waiting for the KB fleet to catch up as they started from the same hex and the KB is faster. I've got a few of those short range DDs in there so that may to some extent explain that. I'm really glad the invasion fleet didn't stop and wait, that would've added a day to this operation.




The tanker TF was not set to follow anyone.
That listing of the TFs was taken before the movements began.
