Maybe there will be in another game one day. How about Carrier Strike, doesn't that have a Midway scenario? And there's always WiP...

RGIJN -> back to the game (2/14/2009 8:10:20 PM)
last turn saw the 2nd US barge sunk by IJA patrol bombers, a failed US sub attack on one of my destroyers and a massive attack by US medium bombers at Irau. Still vast amounts of ships in the Woodlark / GG area. Something is going on there.

RGIJN -> barge vs. sub (2/15/2009 9:35:49 PM)
overall situation unchanged. But due to the quite numerous barge losses, my skippers of these nutshells got new orders: *FIGHT BACK!* wondering what impact these marvellous 25mm "gun" made this time? (I think another barge killed one of Franks subs already very early in our game) [&:] [image]local://upfiles/23002/F3BC9C67A690416FA204B38D19D175A4.jpg[/image] (four hits were achieved, actually)

fuelli -> RE: barge vs. sub (2/16/2009 9:01:39 PM)
This time the sub survived. With 1pt. of sys damage. Beside this the war is limited to barge hunting. Last turn saw a whole barge fleet getting strafed by Hudsons. Rossel will have to wait for its supplies a little bit longer.

quote: ORIGINAL: fuelli This time the sub survived. With 1pt. of sys damage. sad! Maybe even the ammo suffers from this war of attrition... Meanwhile, Frank ordered another INF echelon to drop into death for pure intel reasons. I guess he´s still evaluating over the next place to contest...

RGIJN -> RE: reconnoitering (2/20/2009 1:59:40 PM)
war situation unchanged. Minor moves on both sides, mostly of economical nature. Daily usual barge kill, levelling around 1...5 wrecks each turn. Few days ago, Frank bombed a FT try into the middle Solomons. These morons decided to unload in broad daylight... Even more sad since these two DDs were brandnew deliveries from Japan, "wharf-fresh" and equipped with some radar sets [:@] No hide underneath the clouds anymore....

today, the rate of loss was eight barges due to direct attack on them in "The Slot". Seriously I cannot LRCAP such barge convoys. This sound too ridicoulous to me. Or should I?

RGIJN -> October 1943 (2/24/2009 6:50:13 PM)
turn 520 - 1st of October 1943. Over the past few turns I felt some inkling that proved to be right today. So I ordered Recon missions over Noumea, which revealed the absence of some US CVs. And just they came up to a point SSE of Guadalcanal... I guess there is something fancy going on.

RGIJN -> RE: October 1943 (2/24/2009 9:44:55 PM)
after few days break due to some Fasching (carnival) "issues" here to me, Fuelli bombed his stop to all celebrations[;)] His LBA attacked some supply convoy at the Shortlands. My CAP of course stood no chance against 50...60 F4U a/c strong ecsort... Lost 20 Zeros plus a few Tonys defending the ships, but I guess it could have come worse.

The Tony´s did break off air combat very early, so they had only minor impact but also suffered minor losses then.[X(] [image]local://upfiles/23002/A5995106FD5143AD8DFE6684A3FCBAB2.jpg[/image]

before my opponent left for some days off, he ordered my cripples to be sunk... However, only one Maru made it to the bottom.

finally some surface action commenced once again.

as mentioned already before, the little things makes the Japanese player happy in these days. Last night a medium sized bombardment group shelled the forward allied base of Gavigamana, with some neat results. However, is it worth the effort to come down from the paradise of Truk Atoll to achieve this? Even more so beeing aware of allied A/C supplies in stock and the sys wear that such a high speed run can cause to my precious vessels!?! They have to be ready in time, actually...
