Economically, what happens to Oz if you were to destroy all refinery capacity and shut all flow of supplies and fuel from CONUS and then harass or stop supply flow and fuel from South Africa?

They would have a fuel shortage for sure but what about supplies?

Has anyone either been able to do that or been at the receiving end?

All those beautiful Australian actresses would blow up on carbs instead staying lean on meat.

I have to admit it is pretty low to make children stand out in the hot sun to boost revenues.

Status: offline 		I re-examined the situation near Fiji. Mouseover intel shows an USN TF 280 nm SE of the IJN carriers. This is allegedly composed of 2 CV's and 6 TK's moving SW.


I initially dismissed this as probable TK's with escorts but I can't work out how that many TK's could arrive at that patch of ocean so quickly unless they departed from Melbourne or Sydney and then were turned around.

Could this TF really be the two USN carriers united?

Would the Allies even stick around? We have 187 aircraft aboard and enough torps for at least one attack.

Akagi and Hiryu are about 2 d north of Samoa.

Right..so if it is Lexington and Enterprise, they will have something around 162 aircraft, including 22 Brewsters and 27 crappy TBD's

They are closer to a good friendly port (but not by much) but we do have two more carriers coming down that could join the fight if it went to day 2 or 3
We have no friendly airfield to recover aircraft if our decks are afire.

I wonder if we should give chase/offer battle? Imagine we took out two Allied carriers in December? Hmmm.

Big decision. I will run it by Admirahr Rord SPrior when he gets back from Tortuga.

My opinion is that this is *almost* a fair fight. By that I mean evenly matched. As the Japanese, you are duty bound to decline such an engagement. Equal losses, unless backing a critical offensive, are to be declined in 1941-1942.

You should soon have 10-11 CV/CVLs available for combined offensive operations. I like those odds (11:2) much better. Stop dividing up your superiority and accepting defeat in detail.

Meestah Cheekenboy - you would have proud Japanese warriors run from fight! This dishonors spirit of Bushido! They should Attack! Repeat: Attack! (Heh heh - I study Burr Hausey phirosophy at Ettajima.)
