And then there was this conflaguration near Oosthaven: [image]local://upfiles/16287/E7791AB318BC474A932DD3518DB808C8.gif[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: Fulkerson vs Moore 19Feb42 (11/3/2012 8:17:27 AM)
Okay here's the situation. The Allies have allegedly got something like 4 ships two of which are a PG and a DD and they are just hanging out at Baker Island. So I've just happened upon a TF that has a CA and a bunch of DD's and I think I'll unleash them on the Allied formation and PB's can sweep out to the flanks and the AO's can hold back to see what else happens. And I look around to see if I can find any backup anywhere close. [image]local://upfiles/16287/ED62318C722D4FCABDEAD5CF68414A18.gif[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: Fulkerson vs Moore 19Feb42 (11/3/2012 8:24:57 AM)
The TF name field contains the data "18Feb empty" and the TF has 16K loaded now, 19Feb, therefore it's loading at the rate of 16K per day so far. I'm pretty sure the loading rate is based on the number of ships docked at the harbour, and maybe also counting those still swinging from their anchor out in the bay waiting for their number to come up. So I may have to weight that 16K per day per ship or per TF or something. [image]local://upfiles/16287/35B4DC2BF4F8468793037B516B77C7EA.gif[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: Fulkerson vs Moore 19Feb42 (11/3/2012 8:48:37 AM)
Okay....I'm calling upon all you experts out there ........I gotta question.......we're about to find out anyway but what's about to happen in the following situation: I've got the destination and the home base set to Tokyo except that I'm not quite through loading this TF yet. So um........will it keep loading or will it set off toward Tokyo? I'm thinking it'll just keep loading. I'll post this to remind me to look at what TF 8 does in the next turns I get from Jim.

larryfulkerson -> RE: Fulkerson vs Moore 19Feb42 (11/3/2012 9:13:04 AM)
And here's another one for you experts out there. Here's TF 20 sitting docked in Hong Kong loading supplies or something and I've got the destination still set for Hong Kong but the home port is now Tarakan. I'm hoping it's going to keep loading until it's full and THEN it will set out for Tarakan. What will it really do? Enquiring minds want to know. I'll look up TF 20 in future turns to see exactly what it does do. [image]local://upfiles/16287/8967BB13E20F4FB1B751291C78B12DC2.gif[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: Fulkerson vs Moore 19Feb42 (11/3/2012 9:50:52 AM)
Okay, here's another situation: There's an Allied sub in the Banjo hex and the Banjo port is level 1 and I have a TF that has an AK that needs to download it supplies and there's a PB or some other kind of sub chaser with that TF......so the question is should I leave that AK there docked to the pier and free up the PB to do partolling in the waters of the port? Or do I not dock them at all? What is the opinion of the dudes reading this? Anybody got an opinion? [image]local://upfiles/16287/EDEBEFD69B814557A648E266607FAC34.gif[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: Fulkerson vs Moore 19Feb42 (11/3/2012 10:08:20 AM)
Here's another situation: Here's a surface task force: a CA flanked by DD's, that have a DMS in their midst. They have been ordered to assault into a port hex which may or may not have mines. So I'm putting a DMS in there but protecting the DMS with a CA and some DD's. Or am I? Is the DMS going to be out front there when the surface combat happens? Should I have used more DMS boats? Any body got an opinion? [image]local://upfiles/16287/80258B66D7894BDA8C759A851CDE646B.gif[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: Fulkerson vs Moore 19Feb42 (11/3/2012 10:25:55 AM)
Here's another situation thing: There's this TF that's been ordered to set up a patrol in the hex one SW of Balikpapan and then I switched it to computer control. What will it do? Let's follow this task force to see what it does in the future. [image]local://upfiles/16287/CE25184563DE4EAAA236F57908420FF9.gif[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: Fulkerson vs Moore 19Feb42 (11/3/2012 10:34:31 AM)
Here's me doing a sort on speed cruise mode or something like that and getting a list of the ships that are computer controlled at the top of the list and also a list of the ships that are using "C" mode which I assume is cruise mode instead of going mission speed. So.... I'm changing all those guys from C to M except for the computer controlled TF's because I've found that just putting it in computer mode changes the speed back to "C" anyway. Hard coded I guess. So I just leave it on C in the computers hands. And watch what it does. [image]local://upfiles/16287/0F601C28007D4B49BDF1E48B3DD6CA0B.gif[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: Fulkerson vs Moore 19Feb42 (11/3/2012 4:33:12 PM)
I got to wondering how busy the Pescadores are now since P. is the supply hub now. This is my answer. There's a convoy headed for P. that is carrying fuel. I'll have to look into that and maybe re-direct it. [image]local://upfiles/16287/B5B4D7EAA6DE4FE09F0DC5BB024DF8C2.gif[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: Fulkerson vs Moore 20Feb42 (11/4/2012 11:27:42 PM)
Jim and I have exchanged emails and I now have his latest moves. First of all there's this naval exchange at Baker Island. [image]local://upfiles/16287/987F8D745DA8413A83C6BDEB935AE6D1.gif[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: Fulkerson vs Moore 20Feb42 (11/4/2012 11:31:00 PM)
And then there was this night naval bombardment of Midway where I damaged a bunch of planes. [image]local://upfiles/16287/49913154A6A64D3484AC4E4EA0ABE0EA.gif[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: Fulkerson vs Moore 20Feb42 (11/4/2012 11:39:17 PM)
And then there was this night-time bombardment of Cebu: [image]local://upfiles/16287/24B99572C8FD4F27AC9053D35BD494AB.gif[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: Fulkerson vs Moore 20Feb42 (11/4/2012 11:42:53 PM)
And then there was this event in which nothing happened. No shoot-downs.......I don't even think they spotted the other side at all. [image]local://upfiles/16287/C7FFEE7E86BF4783A1C0FE7EFD153429.gif[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: Fulkerson vs Moore 20Feb42 (11/4/2012 11:46:43 PM)
And then there was this sweep by my Nates over Manila that went awry. The Nates vastly outnumbered the P-40's but they STILL lost the fight. I'm going to have to ship some Zero's in there to take the place of those Nates. The Nates belong in China where they don't have any opposition. More training is indicated in this group.

larryfulkerson -> RE: Fulkerson vs Moore 20Feb42 (11/4/2012 11:50:15 PM)
And then there was this sweep by my Oscars of the skies of Singapore. I must say I'm a little dissappointed in my Oscars. They vastly outnumbered that Buffalo and STILL didn't shoot it down. More training I'm guessing, is needed. [image]local://upfiles/16287/09259F0ACA9D4F6495DCE48B26B6CF6B.gif[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: Fulkerson vs Moore 20Feb42 (11/4/2012 11:56:45 PM)
And then the Allies did a sweep of Moulmein using the AVG. I'm lilking the results of this contest. With the new higher altitude those Nates didn't lose anybody. That hasn't happened since they have been based here. Demonstrating the better advantage of being at least as high as your opponent when these furballs happen. Maybe the air supremacy tide has turned here today. Maybe my Nates just got lucky. [image]local://upfiles/16287/E0841E0C9C3D40DF85353FD40A6DE031.gif[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: Fulkerson vs Moore 20Feb42 (11/5/2012 12:07:21 AM)
And then there was my daily Betty raid on Port Moresby. They tried to time the raid to be attacking out of the direction of the sun and everything but it didn't seem to help much. But these raids buck up the foot soldiers and it's good for morale. I might even being scoring some disruption on the Allies or something. These raids give me an excuse to think I'm really making a difference to those foot soldiers down there. I should stage some more people into there I'm guessing. Maybe after the conclusion of the Gasmata affair. [image]local://upfiles/16287/F839BA43010045E1BDC04E7D860C9C67.gif[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: Fulkerson vs Moore 20Feb42 (11/5/2012 12:12:27 AM)
And while the previous attack was still going on this next event started: My Nells attack Manila and lose one to the Allied CAP. [image]local://upfiles/16287/FA0FBEA8502646E4A9D040058B4C1665.gif[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: Fulkerson vs Moore 20Feb42 (11/5/2012 12:21:24 AM)
And then there was this raid and really, the Oscars didn't appear to fulfill a function here since there was no Allied CAP. There was some vicious flak however and it chewed up my Sallys pretty well. Almost half of them were damaged in some way or another. Maybe one of them flipped from almost normal to downright deranged. Happens.

larryfulkerson -> RE: Fulkerson vs Moore 20Feb42 (11/5/2012 12:29:02 AM)
And then there is this air-to-ground attack by my Sonia aircraft. It's helping out my troops on the ground as they have it out with an Allied unit in this hex later in the day, which attack I will speak about in a different post. [image]local://upfiles/16287/3D764A6FDDD64BDD9AA84AF261CD9D88.gif[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: Fulkerson vs Moore 20Feb42 (11/5/2012 12:36:51 AM)
And then a bunch of other stuff happened and then the AVG does another sweep of Moulmien and my Nates hold their own. At least they didn't get slaughtered which is what usually happens. I think this new higher altitude is making a difference in the outcomes of these furballs. Maybe my guys will shoot down one of the AVG sometime soon.

larryfulkerson -> RE: Fulkerson vs Moore 20Feb42 (11/5/2012 12:46:57 AM)
And then in the skies over Malang one of my Zero's came falling like a flaming leaf. [image]local://upfiles/16287/C40820F71E144C4AB2F114CC2037B63A.gif[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: Fulkerson vs Moore 20Feb42 (11/5/2012 12:59:30 AM)
And then there was this Allied raid on one of my ground units. Where was my CAP? [image]local://upfiles/16287/20FD7E24EC7B4925BA0C66131FD78A9B.gif[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: Fulkerson vs Moore 20Feb42 (11/5/2012 1:08:43 AM)
And then a bunch of other stuff happened and then there was this raid on Singapore by my Nells: [image]local://upfiles/16287/D7B81589C26D4E1E8C93B449F3EDFA08.gif[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: Fulkerson vs Moore 20Feb42 (11/5/2012 1:13:39 AM)
And then a different group of Nells flew against Darwin and failed to score a hit. Maybe they were too high. I'll try them again with an altitude of 10K and see what difference it makes. So far this operation ( to bomb Darwin strategically ) is a failure to start. [image]local://upfiles/16287/F64C4C0039F54DF5913166E0C48B6BBD.gif[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: Fulkerson vs Moore 20Feb42 (11/5/2012 1:16:39 AM)
And then there's this ground attack near Kendari: [image]local://upfiles/16287/E8AF6B6A725D424EB17F6B45EB0DD6A1.gif[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: Fulkerson vs Moore 20Feb42 (11/5/2012 1:23:58 AM)
And then there was this ground bombardment at Manila by the Japs: [image]local://upfiles/16287/48AA1D53B96048BFAC3E0A2699CED27F.gif[/image]

larryfulkerson -> RE: Fulkerson vs Moore 20Feb42 (11/5/2012 1:27:05 AM)
I'm posting a picture of the location with an overlay of verbage to describe the combat event for almost all the combat events in the hope that it's bringing the war into sharper focus for you and it's not like me to post the entire combat report but I can if somebody wants to see it. I'm hoping pictures makes it better for you guys. It makes me later in getting my turns back to my opponents but it's worth it I think. EDIT: here's the combat report if anybody wants to see it:

larryfulkerson -> RE: Fulkerson vs Moore 20Feb42 (11/5/2012 1:31:08 AM)
And the next thing to happen is this ground attack: [image]local://upfiles/16287/10C2E436B8C34FE4B29015BF0610F964.gif[/image]
