Rainer79 -> RE: Now taken over by IGHQ... (7/25/2011 10:41:33 AM)
Things are heating up again. Very unexpectedly for me Chris broke with routine and sent his fleet CVs on a full speed run to ambush my bombardment TFs heading to/from Kagi. This is the first time he has separated them in this PBEM and therefore he achieved complete surprise. Still, I got lucky as the weather prevented a second attack.

Rainer79 -> RE: Now taken over by IGHQ... (7/27/2011 7:53:21 AM)
After last turn's ambush the IJN bravely advanced towards Toyko at flank speed. [:'(] As expected the Allied CVs don't advance far enough to trigger the massive waves of LBA that was transferred to the westernmost bases. Repair estimates show that the BBs will need 2-3 weeks in the yards to be fully operational again. I seriously hope that Christian overestimates the damage done.

Rainer79 -> RE: Now taken over by IGHQ... (7/27/2011 7:59:01 AM)
The allied CVs continue their guided tour with a next step at Okinawa and an ASW TFs that had been guarding the BBs retreat path has to pay the price. Then again, as long as I can trade LBA fighter against his carrier squadrons at a 1:1 rate I am not complaining. As long as I am over my own base pilot losses are negligible and I don't think I'll ever run out of fully trained pilots.

Sorry if this is a redundant question - so what is the deal with Castor Troy? Has he sworn off AE?

Rainer79 -> RE: Now taken over by IGHQ... (7/28/2011 8:59:36 AM)
He has decided to take a break from the game (and the forums) for a while. I don't know if he'll come back but he seemed happier without having to complain about a combination of bugs and certain design decisions every day.

Here are also a couple of screenshots from this timeframe: The first one is from China where Changsha is the main allied base. Up in the north our troops are defending the woods in front of Sian which remained in Chinese hands. Pakhoi and Kwangchowan are only very lightly held and will be abandoned if threatened. The southern coast has been reinforced lately with both AV support and combat troops. [image]local://upfiles/30391/06A9EB4E5006437FA90AC5D533FE4B59.gif[/image]
