[QUOTE=PzB]Much the same as I did in my AAR game, was only 2 turns from landing at Noumea when I got spotted. Landed 100k men, 77k frontline troops. My opponent ferried in just enough troops from Luganville to prevent me from getting a 2-1 odds when I had reduced the fortifications :p

Nailbiting, but if the US player plays safe and keeps 30-40k troops on the Island, there isn't much hope.... You have to shake every tree in the South Pacific to get enough troops ;)

The damage done by a big CV force that launches surprise air strikes on the ships at anchor in Noumea harbour - now that's another case. I'm quite paranoid about this when playing the Allies![/QUOTE]Your points are well taken but this move must be made by early July before he has any troops except for the Americal Div. Even then I was lucky because he had moved them to Luganville probably for a push to Irau plus when he spotted me he thought it was just a raid. No transports had been spotted in the recon reports. He never had a chance to reinforce Noumea. Everything was perfect for me and yet anything could have gone wrong: one of his subs intercepted one of the transport TFs outside of Shortland and torped it. Luckily I was able to disengage the damaged ship and send it to Woodlark while the TF moved on. I was extremely worried about the whereabouts of the allied CVs but when my scouts reported a TF of AOs out toward Nauru Is. I knew those CVs were nearby and out of the picture. I threw all my planes into Truk but he never attacked.
