Not a single Zeke up in the air when the sun comes up. Unfortunately, this attack may give away the presence of carriers. The fighters were on escort so they joined the TBF attack from Wotje quote: Afternoon Air attack on Nimur Naval Fortress, at 132,115 (Kwajalein Island) Weather in hex: Light cloud Raid spotted at 13 NM, estimated altitude 13,000 feet.

Will a carrier-originated TBF AF attack (level bombing) fly at an 8 hex range or do shore-installation strikes carry the same range/coordination limitations of anti-shipping strikes?

What if if shorts out, shuts down the main electrical bus, incapacitates the radar and starts arcing and set off the aviation gas fumes because the CO2 pump fails??

quote: ORIGINAL: Cap Mandrake I think that happened to Kaga once. I thought it was twice. She sank both times, but fortunately for the IJN it was in shallow water. "They" also claim it was not USN bombs that sank her at Midway, but a recurrence of the problem due to the overworking of the "gedunk" machines trying to give the pilots extra energy during the battle.

Big raid on Darwin. I had moved the fighters up to New Guinea. Evidentarry JJ spotted this and surmised an opportunity. The problem is Darwin now has level 7 forts, four full AAA regiments and hundreds and hundreds of smaller AA guns. Also, once you put a hole in a Nell, the balsa wood tends to fall apart on the long way home to Kendari. 30-40 Nells lost. quote: Morning Air attack on 197th Coast AA Regiment, at 76,124 (Darwin) Weather in hex: Clear sky Raid detected at 72 NM, estimated altitude 10,000 feet.

Get some bombers/Cats for night naval attacks maybe if the enemy has a lot of fighters in the area. Even Kingfishers at night would work on loaded tankers, if you have any to spare.

Sinabong is 14 hexes from Palembang so B-25's would work on night attack but we do have a house rule about 1 squadron per target per night on night attacks. RAF is definitely still outgunned on fighters.

I want to put in some bistro lights to use at parties but I figured they would give me **** so I left them off the plan but included them in the materials list. The new Gurppenfeuhrer is not as stupid as Frau Palacios. She was on it right away. Now I have them get them signed off by the neighbors and send in new plans with "setbacks" to neighboring properties

Of course when some brown shirt on the board gets mad at the whole street for opposing the property split up the street there is no notification requirement to come out in the middle of the day, chop down some 25 year old rosemary bushes and put up a big ugly yellow sign on my tree row to tell people to turn right when every idiot can see the road bends.
