[QUOTE]I have a question about AVs. Do their float planes fly only if the AV is formed up in a TF at a base? Or do they fly even if the AV is anchored ("in port") at a base? I assume the latter -- right?[/QUOTE] The latter is correct.

I've been neglecting this because of nothing much happening right now against Ross and he not being able to throw that many turns against me. Last turn was a positive one for me. Ross sent a TF consisiting of 10+ ships. CA's, CL's and DD's on some misson headed for Lunga. I caught him at extreme range with Dave's, Val's and Kates getting some hits. Not many but I managed to light some fires. Good for me.

And so I commence operation Ro. Primary objectives: take Luganville. Secondaries: Efate Porte Vila and possibly Noumea, depending on how well Ross defends himself. This is a Kursk situation. Ross has known for atleast 10 turns or so (propably a month) that Luganville will be my next objective and not the Australian mainland. I've seen transport TF's head for Luganville and my recon has told me there are sizable enemy forces there. My best hope is to take the most out of the situation and use my superior tactics against him.

Third day of Ro. Sunk Nashville and Luisville. Landed 5th SNLF at Koumac which is defended by engineers. I'm operating a independent Carrier taskforce with 7 CV's around Luganville. My CVL's are protecting my invasion TF. Two transports got one hit each this turn and 50 troops killed. Operation progressing as expected. Allied supply lines to Australia will be cut, the continent isolated and the SRA secured. Glory to the Emperor! Banzai! Banzai!
