ORIGINAL: obvert I hear you. I will not be conservative. I just don't want a TF full of troops to get skewered by Stringbags and push me back another 2-3 weeks. Once I have CAP and the forces are in the area, I'll push forward. Better to be aggressive with good preparation than to start flinging things out everywhere. I'm also interested to see if he'll get itchy waiting for the action and take some risks himself. We've only played what, 3 turns? There is a lot of time to get things moving. Looking at my posts I see your point. I didn't mean them to come across as they have. Of course it's still early, establish your LBA and air cover, that's what I would do to. I wouldn't move substantial forces forward until I had taken care of the enemy air threat as well. LBA power will be key for you, but I'd establish it as quickly and as far forward as possible. The thing I forgot to mention is pushing forward fast has it's own risks as well. One threat is any forward airbase you establish can be quickly neutralized by Allied bombardment missions. It's all well and good to grab a forward airbase, but if it gets trashed and you can't support it, what good is it? I agree totally, be aggressive, but with your ducks in order and able to counter anything he throws at you. Sorry if my posts came out proclaiming a dire sense of urgency, the written word can't always convey the spirit meant behind them. Well, if I was a better writer they could! [:D] No problem. I do need to stay on my toes, and you've offered some great thoughts and ideas. It is urgent, but it's like baseball. You still have to wait for the right pitch! [;)]
