quote: ORIGINAL: Cap Mandrake By ra way, would a naval bombardment damage resources? Imperial Japan has the turn...shouldn't be long.[:)] I believe a naval bombardment could damage resources just as it can damage industry. Also, fires from a naval bombardment could cause secondary damage to resources for sure.

Ut-oh. Somebody brought torps. And B5N2's. Lots of Zeroes too. Might be a carrier somewhere...although they don't seem to be the A-team.

Cap Mandrake -> RE: At dawn we slept.....in the cab on the way back from Olongapo (2/10/2015 7:16:15 PM)
Data points: 1) Torp-equipped B5N2 attack from SW axis. Level 3 plus airfield SW of Wakkani..Hachinohe, 8 hexes distant, eastern Honshu or a carrier. 2) Vals attacking from SW axis had 250 kg bombload, which they couldn't do from 8 hexes, right? So either the Vals are coming from a closer level 2 base or there is a carrier South of Hokkaido. 3) If Hachinohe had torps and they knew we were coming then why didn't they have Bettys?...again, it seems like a carrier.

Cap Mandrake -> RE: At dawn we slept.....in the cab on the way back from Olongapo (2/10/2015 7:20:18 PM)
Looks like a 27 plane Kate squadron, and 18 plane Val squadron and 2 Zeroes. Which class would that be?

Cap Mandrake -> RE: At dawn we slept.....in the cab on the way back from Olongapo (2/10/2015 7:33:56 PM)
Yet, if it is a carrier they would almost have to be parked right on top of one of our scout subs. There is a restricted 36 plane Kate squadron on Honshu at the start. They start as B5N1's but could have been converted up by now. There are also two restricted Val squadrons, one exapandable to 36 planes There are also restricted Claude squadrons that might have been upgraded to Zeroes. You wouldn't think that if we had been spotted there would have been so many transports playing around. Maybe we did surprise them and they were just well prepared. Either way the BB's have to turn around and increase distance.

Speaking of strategy meetings, should we have one? Can you take a bomber or something and come to Oahu? The drinks are only 55 cents at the Royal Hawaiian. There are some nice Filipino types who could take notes.
