Attack Condor -> For want of a bullet...... (5/1/2003 8:23:40 PM)

With Luganville at >100K supplies, I can start to think about 4E bombing of the IJN forward bases. Unfortunately, having been in training is not the same as being in live combat, as our heroes can attest to:
[I]AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 07/24/42
Weather: Partly Cloudy
Air attack on Irau , at 42,43
Allied aircraft
PBY Catalina x 3
B-17E Fortress x 7
Allied aircraft losses
PBY Catalina x 2 damaged
B-17E Fortress x 4 damaged
Attacking Level Bombers:
3 x B-17E Fortress at 10000 feet
4 x B-17E Fortress at 10000 feet
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/I]
No losses, but damaged big birds take a while to heal up.
In other news, the summer crop of mines planted in June and the early part of July are starting to bear fruit. First the light cruiser [I]Jintsu[/I] and now the destroyer [I]Kazegumo[/I] which was hit last night in PM harbor :). [I]Kazegumo[/I] apparently was part of a PC/DD group - each of whom was able to "locate and destroy" a mine. I'm sure the IJN commander will appropiately honor and reward the commander of the [I]Kazegumo[/I] for his innovative approach to destroying mines with his hull, thereby saving the Empire precious rifle ammunition.
As to whether I plan to invade something, the answer is yes. Whether it is Irau, PM (again) or the peacful sleep of the IJN commander is yet to be revealed :D.
As to learning a new language, as a public service for the reindoctrination of our IJN foes into world dominated by the Allies, your word for today is "capitalism".
Say it slowly: "Cap - it - al - ism"
You'll learn to love it ;)
More to come....
