Erkki -> RE: Aboard the Red Castle - Erkki(J) vs. Smeulders(A) - no lookin'! (11/2/2011 9:51:37 PM)

OK I need to rewrite the above. [:D]
In other words, I'm using my KB divided now and making sure my opponent sees its divided. I can do that pretty safely now in the Indian Ocean. I want the Allies to know that I'm willing and wanting to divide the KB not just locally/operationally but also between different theaters. The stronger the mental image of Erkki sailing his CVs in ones and 2s around the Pacific is, the better.
I'm hoping to gain these advantages:
A) to make him underestimate the threat of CV on CV encounter as long as he keeps his together, in order to:
B) make him more aggressive with his own CV and Naval forces to make him try an early risky invasion and/or raid, and:
C) while planning those raids, invasions or other operations, make him consider the risk of running into Japanese CVs smaller, especially combined KB, him knowing that I need time to assemble it and thus:
D) effect his strategic, operational and tactical planning, I think this isnt quite the same as B, but these are to:
E) make him commit his CVs without or with lesser LBA and search support, fighter and strike aircraft numerical and qualitative superiority and to make him do more mistakes to:
F) further attrit his CV fleet and the rest of his Navy, especially CAs and CLs, to
G) push back the date by which the Allies are too powerful to be contested mano et mano even in a defensive battle, to push back the date when Palembang switches owner again and the date the war is lost.
Not sure if it makes sense...
