KB is the Jap Carrier Group at PH? Ok I missed it.... KB stands for?

Thx in advance :)



Sardaukar -> RE: KB (8/20/2009 9:18:47 AM)

Yep, it means Kido Butai. That translates to something like "Mobile Strike Force".



Jaws_slith -> RE: KB (8/20/2009 9:21:02 AM)

Cheer
Thx :)



Sardaukar -> RE: KB (8/20/2009 9:22:21 AM)

It used to referred in WitP as "Death Star" too. [:D]



RevRick -> RE: KB (8/20/2009 12:02:05 PM)

Kido Butai, this is Task Force 38.
Task Force 38, this is Kido Butai.
Now shake hands, and come out fighting.

Mmmmm. How about a mod of the Battle of the Philippine Sea with Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, and Hiryu resurrected and thrown in for fun and games? Oh, and forget the Shinano. Build a second Taiho instead.

It seems like it splits up early in 1942 into two or three smaller TFs.  Anyone else see this?  Am I making this up?  Am I smoking the happy stuff?

No, it splits up, like it did historically. The Japanese rarely operated the full KB together after Pearl; they needed carriers in too many places. Of course, that was what got them into a pickle in the real war-they didn't put it back together before Coral Sea, and were never able to do so after that.
