bigbaba -> little sushi restaurant in rabaul..jamie vs BB #16 (7/4/2008 12:47:29 PM)
hi there, i have the pleasure to play the underdog against the migh of the USN..against jamie. i just opened a little sushi restaurant in rabaul but jamie does not like raw fish and wants to demolish the sushi bar and place a "burger king" there. although i like the whopper, i can not allow that he poisons the poor natives at rabaul with his fast food. after all, sushi is healthier.[:D] we are at the beginning of october 1942 now. i captured PM, GG and the solomon area and wait for the comming counterattack of jamie now. at the beginning, i lost 1 CV and a CVL to his carrier force and jamie lost several medium and heavy bombers. beside that, the loses are light and espacialy my nells and bettys are still intact. but enough words..here are the facts: the situation in the solomon area: [image]http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/52/781752/1280_6337376363396635.jpg[/image] the scoreboard: [image]http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/52/781752/1280_6438343339323763.jpg[/image] and the lost airplanes: [image]http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/alben/52/781752/1280_6538653562303135.jpg[/image]

Burp.....mmmmm.....in the voice of Homer Simpson...... Burger King....Whopper..... Gonna have to pay a visit to Rabaul soon.... As Bigbaba says, losses are fairly light so far. He destroyed 4 or 5 squadrons on the ground when he captured Port Morseby, and I came out ahead on the only carrier exchange we have had so far. At this time, I am building up for the eventual counter-attack...unfortunately, this is a fairly boring period.... Jamie

quiet days so far. recon flights and submarine contacts are not realy something exciting. and so, my troops chill out at rabaul and try to win the natives for the emperor.[;)] impressions from rabaul: [img]http://www.pacificislandtravel.com/png/about_destin/rabaul75.jpg[/img] the new camouflage technique of our troops. even the a modern army can learn new things from the natives. we will place this between palm trees at the beach to increase the confusion.[:D] you never know..is it a harmless tree or is it a samurai?

How the heck do you manage to attack an 8 ship TF with 157 torpedo planes and skate away with only three damaged planes? Were the flak gunners out to lunch? I'm playing a solitaire game as Japanese to get some practice for my game against Jamie as the Japs and when I send torpedo bombers out they get eaten alive by the American flak with 40-60% losses. I'm lucky if 10-15% get through the flak.

bigbaba -> RE: little sushi restaurant in rabaul..jamie vs BB #16 (7/7/2008 10:50:13 PM)
hmm, maybe the number of the attacking planes simply overwhelmed the flak? more targets mean lesser fire concentration. there are several air HQ in rabaul..the pilots have high moral and low fatigue and each level bomber daitai has 10% of its planes on naval search. maybe that plays a role. anyway...jamie is striking back as you see above. and i have realy problems to keep PM supplied because of his total air dominance south of PM. any suggestions except rising the white flag?[:D] when i lose PM, the anglo-american barbarians will be able to attack the sushi-bar at rabaul what would cost us the war because a japanese soldier can not fight without sushi in his stomach.
