[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ron Saueracker [B]Strange that Lexington is hit by 4 Vals halfway up the Solomons near Choiseul without any cap or escorts. What daredevil would attempt that? Does the screen not show escorts in TF, or does it only show targeted vessels? That WITP map looks friggin' fabulous; is this your doing Mr Christie? If so, you do make good cookies.:D [/B][/QUOTE] I was the one that put together the latest crop of screenshots. I mainly wanted to show off some of the great sfx eyecandy. :) As to the Lexington, she was part of a TF that I thought I could sneek up to Shortland Island and do a hit and run attack on the base there. The weather leading up to this turn was forcats for "Thunderstorms" which helps to keep the enemy planes grounded. Well the weather broke didnt it. Then my TF was jumped on. I had grouped 4 carriers into one TF. After this turn, if I remember correctly, the Enterprise limped back home with a small DD escort. I pulled the remaining ACs back away from the approaching Jap TF. Its taken me sometime to get used to using an AC TF. Most times I would get my ACs sunk from under me. You have to learn the ranges of the Jap planes, use the weather forecasts and heaps of luck. Just like the real thing. :D
