The allies are flying in infantry and aviation support from Batoe-elanden. We fly in fresh fighter squadrons which get shot up but pay it back to the attacking Japanese medium bombers and escort fighters. After about 2 days you withdraw the shot up squadron, lather, rinse and repeat.

Yes, that is the plan. Br 72 Brig is embarked and prepped for Medan..although they will have to wait until sufficient naval forces are ready. Aus 16 Brig trying to push in from the SE

In other words is it just Av Gas or ammo too that is included in sortie points?

Right but how does the game model replenishment of sorties? Can an AO do that or do they need to return to port? An AO could theoretically carry aviation fuel as well

A size 7 airfield for sure. There might be cases with smaller airfields (Alfred!).

AE's doing underway replenishment: I hope so. I'm in December 1944 so I'll find out soon.

Status: offline 		Wow..so it's the AF size that determines the ability of a base to replenish sorties? Presumably the carrier also has to be able to go into port. I will send Wasp and the CVE back to Dobo and see what happens.

Level 8 AF, level 4 port and 330 naval support. That should work

Status: offline 		Port size, not AFs. AEs/AKEs will replenish sorties which should also be considered ammo, torpedoes, rockets, and bombs. There is no separate "fuel" for AVGAS as that is considered supply. I mean, talk about Japanese rice burning aircraft . . .
