Saw a food truck at the hospital yesterday that said "Maine Lobster" on the side....so I got to thinking. That is quite a brand name. I wonder.. *************Maine/New Hampshire border, New Hampshire side, 100 yds off shore, 70 ft of water************* Daddy "Big legs" Lobster: Now...I want everyone to wait until you can't hear the Fish and Game boat..then we make a run for it. Jr.: Oh, we are going to be rich! We'll be swimming in butter. Daddy "Big legs" Lobster:** Don't you EVER say that again! We are fleeing octopus on lobster violence..PERIOD! Everyone got that?

Will the prewar BB's be able to rearm at Auckland (Level 5 port, 36 naval support)? Mauna Loa is still burning at Noumea. Fire level now 86. Hard to find anyone willing to go put it out.

Cap Mandrake -> RE: At dawn we slept.....in the cab on the way back from Olongapo (10/22/2015 2:45:46 PM)
USS Pyro (AE) is probably still 4 days out from Tanna. We need to rearm our BB's and get them back to Noumea.

Hard to find anyone willing to go put it out. The table in the printed book says for 14" Mark VII you need 576 naval support and for the 14" Mark 8 you need 540. (one of these gun marks is British). For 16"/45 Mark 5 you need 874 ns. Don't be afraid to run that AKE at full speed - it will have a long time disbanded to deal with damage.

Right..back to the original plan which was to send USS Pyro to Tanna which already has an AD and AO. We also have another AD coming with Pyro so Noumea can have its own AD again.

Does the USN have an AK class that can be converted to AKE in March 42?

quote: ORIGINAL: Cap Mandrake Does the USN have an AK class that can be converted to AKE in March 42? In stock scenarios the US starts with somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 xAKs that can convert to AKEs and a handful that can convert to AEs. Over the course of the first three months they get somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 more entering. If the Allied player has a heads up awareness of this and starts the conversions immediately he can quickly have more ammunition ships available than locales they can be used at. A player without a heads up awareness will likely have these valuable ships hauling supplies.

We lost USS Lassen during a Jap bombardment of Noumea. Mauna Loa not go boom yet but still burning. Pyro is nearby. We have 4 AK or AG at Pearl which are convertible to AKE/AE We have 5 at Suva that are capable of conversion but would probably have to go Auckland because Suva is not big enough.

The thing is it is only March 1, 1942. I don't remember seeing this many USN BB's in action in the South Pacific in February 42 in any other AAR. Normally, most of the USN BB's are badly misshapen at this point or they are being saved for bombardment missions in 1944

Cap Mandrake -> RE: At dawn we slept.....in the cab on the way back from Olongapo (10/22/2015 8:20:15 PM)
Found 4 more at Auckland so we will have some help in 12 d. [:)]

Cap Mandrake -> RE: At dawn we slept.....in the cab on the way back from Olongapo (10/22/2015 8:25:41 PM)
9 more in SF [:)]

quote: ORIGINAL: Cap Mandrake Does the USN have an AK class that can be converted to AKE in March 42? Funny. As the Japanese player, I've got more 'convertible' xAKs than I can shake a stick at. I couldn't possibly hope to use all of them. It seems as though scarcity could provide market forces for a supplier that isn't afraid of living in the grey zone between empires...

*****************Samoa Lounge, Suva********** Sailor: I hear tell there is no place to rearm the battlewagons. Sydney is under air attack. Mauna Loa is burning, Lassen sunk, Pyro is 4-5 days out and that's it for entire Paicifc and Indian Oceans.
