quote: ORIGINAL: Andy Mac With the damage to Saratoga I may have to mix up my operations and go to SWPAC before I finish off the CENTPAC portions of the offensive - considering my options now Hm, I think you should stay watchful in the CENTPAC. PzB is just the guy to try to retake Palmyra when your carriers have left. Palmyra will be somewhat isolated without carrier support and you can't leave your whole assault force as a garrison there (overstacking). Taking just one island in the Line Islands just isn't enough, you'll need mutual supporting bases (airfields) until PzB has lost his offensive capacities. Just my two cents! K

Andy Mac -> RE: Burma Corps Stands Fast on the katha Line (11/4/2010 11:15:35 PM)
Interesting turns. Palmyra is now cut off with 3rd Marine Div on it. However my carriers have now refreshed and are en route... Japanese launched an attack on my line between Burma and Assam quite happy with this it takes a lot of firepower into the middle of nowhere

Andy Mac -> RE: Burma Corps Stands Fast on the katha Line (11/6/2010 11:34:08 PM)
Lots going on I am between a rock and a hard place. Losing Saratoga and its 90 aircraft made it an even money carrier battle I am 60 days from Hellcats - I should sit stil and wait I know I should but I want to keep going and hit him - not sure need to think

Andy Mac -> RE: Burma Corps Stands Fast on the katha Line (11/6/2010 11:35:02 PM)
ps I had a bit of a screwup over Rangoon sweep went in day 1 but the bombers stayed grounded so I tried again this time sweep was grounded... The bombers werent.....not pretty !!!

Andy Mac -> RE: Burma Corps Stands Fast on the katha Line (11/7/2010 12:09:55 AM)
Was about to send my carriers with 650 aircraft into christmas island but i was spotted one day out :( Aborting Another 3 flight decks are 3 days out lifting me back to 750 aircraft. I dont NEED to fight yet.. Patience need to repeat to myself patience patience patience.... wait I dont need to rush I dont need to hit him yet its only 43... Wait patience wait patience

Andy Mac -> RE: Burma Corps Stands Fast on the katha Line (11/7/2010 12:10:13 AM)
But I HATE waiting [:@][:@][:@]

Andy Mac -> RE: Burma Corps Stands Fast on the katha Line (11/7/2010 12:13:13 AM)
In the next three months I get 3 more CVE's, 1 CV and probably Saratoga back so I can add 270 aircraft to my ORBAT over next 3 months so I must be cautious I also get to convert 260 ish Wildcats to Hellcats so I need to be seriously carefull. No NEED to rush !!!

Andy Mac -> RE: Burma Corps Stands Fast on the katha Line (11/7/2010 12:17:06 AM)
Also he cannot have enough fuel to keep his entire fleet manouvering this far forward so I dont need to go toe to toe he must have fuel convoys at sea I am close to the largest naval base in the Pacific with 2m fuel and plenty of replacemen t aircraft he is at the arse end of nowehere all I need to be is patient... <I am telling myself to wait more than everyone else...> A decisive cvarrier battle would be fun but I DONT need a decisive carrier fight now I need to wait for a decisive edge then engage KB he needs to force the decision now before Hellcats arrive

It is a bit early to be pushing forward.

Andy Mac -> RE: Burma Corps Stands Fast on the katha Line (11/7/2010 12:25:30 AM)
Stategically I have made a rather bad mistake. I am presently weaker because I dont trust my carriers to get it done v KB and what do I go and do set up a SEQUENTIAL assault on PZB that depends on carriers for its first attack. SWPAC has supply air force and troops but no significant naval assets, likewise SEAC I have overconcentrated my assets as the weaker side and gotten myself into a postiton where it actually does make sense to delay a few weeks. Need to keep the pressure up and keep him manouvering

CapAndGown -> RE: Burma Corps Stands Fast on the katha Line (11/7/2010 12:38:20 AM)
Have you lost any carriers? (I mean sunk lost, not under repair lost.)

Andy Mac -> RE: Burma Corps Stands Fast on the katha Line (11/7/2010 1:22:22 AM)
1 CV and 1 CVE. He has lost 1 CV and 2 CVL's I have 4 USN CV's operational

Lady Lex took a torpedo from subs - BOLLOCKS This means I am down to 4 operational USN carriers - I no longer have any kind of edge I now have no choice but to be patient and wait for the Eastern Fleet to arrive in theatre as reinforcements

Andy Mac -> RE: Burma Corps Stands Fast on the katha Line (11/7/2010 3:32:15 PM)
Most of the Div has already evacced I will need to pull out others switching them whith base units

Andy Mac -> RE: Burma Corps Stands Fast on the katha Line (11/7/2010 6:37:38 PM)
Not a lot more to say on current turns my Subs are hitting lots but the duds make them less than usefull. Carriers are back at Pearl and both Sara and lady Lex are heading for dry dock I no longer have the strength to win a carrier engagement - ergo patience is the order of the day....

traskott -> RE: Burma Corps Stands Fast on the katha Line (11/7/2010 7:22:52 PM)
Can you post a picture of CENPAC to see the current situation ?

Andy Mac -> RE: Burma Corps Stands Fast on the katha Line (11/7/2010 7:31:55 PM)
Will do on the next turn seriously hacked off by my performance and the ability of his subs to cripple my fleet not once but 3 or 4 times

traskott -> RE: Burma Corps Stands Fast on the katha Line (11/7/2010 7:48:56 PM)
Hurry up !! Better at shipyard than sunk !!!

Andy Mac -> RE: Burma Corps Stands Fast on the katha Line (11/7/2010 10:39:19 PM)
The ****up fairy has struck again. I was carelss and left Illustrious, Formidable and Victorious on upgrade on and sure enough they have begun the upgrade cycle... grrrr That takes 3 CV's out of the game for 75 days when added to the two heading for west coast drydocks I have 5 fleet CV's out of commssion. When they return they are a lot meaner with a capacity of 54 and a 1400 ish AA rating but still I really didnt need that right now... maybe its a sign so I think the decision has been made for me. I have 6 CVE's plus Long Island (c200 aircraft) 4 Fleet CV's (3 USN and 1 RN) (c300 aircraft) plus HMS Hermes with 20 aircraft. So max 500 I aint taking on KB and the Line Islands with that.... In 90 days I will get 2 USN CV's back from drydock (180) 3 RN CV's now (160) Essex and 3 new CVE's (180) i.e. inside 90 days my carrier strength doubles and most of my USN Sqns will be in Hellcats.... Hate to say it but I need to wait marshall my strength and postpone CENTPAC for 90 days. and I hate waiting....

Andy Mac -> RE: Burma Corps Stands Fast on the katha Line (11/7/2010 10:44:03 PM)
The taps really open then in June and July 43 I recieve 3 Essex class CV's, 3 CVL's and 2 more CVE's so another 420 aircraft. i.e. from June I start to outrip KB by an order of magnitude. So an early carrier fight at probably 7:5 odds against me is not worth it so I will sit tight and wait...

traskott -> RE: Burma Corps Stands Fast on the katha Line (11/7/2010 10:44:26 PM)
Well, more time to prepar the assault. Besides you don't need to hurry. Better slow and safe. Losing now a CV or a Division will push your campaign back more than 90 dayas [8D]

Andy Mac -> RE: Burma Corps Stands Fast on the katha Line (11/7/2010 10:47:04 PM)
Yeah it does mean 3rd marines which are still on Palmyra will take a pounding though
