You should be almost close enough for your longest legged recon planes to visit Truk. That should help you out.

zuluhour -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (1/31/2016 9:28:56 PM)
I do have a navy Lib recon squadron operating out of Aurorae. I want to subdue Nauru and seize Makin now. Then I shall be poking around his playground. I have some more long ranged search a/c just arriving at Christmas and Luganville so I hope I can restrict his movements more. I lost my last merchant which I was using to smuggle supplies into Darwin today, that makes five or six. At least she snuck in and emptied her holds first. She was bushwhacked right off the coast by cruiser force. I have to get some bases operational on the northwest coast, but it is not a priority. And now for the big news from the CBI.

Those 70 units have a long walk....

zuluhour -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (2/2/2016 3:48:14 PM)
Perhaps I should invest in Japanese shoe leather futures. [:)] A night raid below by only 5 a/c in thunderstorms. The replay alluded to 30 damaged a/c and 3 destroyed. I flipped the turn at lunch so I don't have the VP screens handy. DOH! Night Air attack on Hansa Bay , at 97,121 Weather in hex: Severe storms Raid spotted at 40 NM, estimated altitude 4,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 13 minutes Japanese aircraft no flights Allied aircraft B-24J Liberator x 5 Japanese aircraft losses P1Y2 Frances: 2 destroyed on ground No Allied losses Japanese ground losses: 6 casualties reported Squads: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 1 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 0 disabled Airbase hits 3 Runway hits 11 Aircraft Attacking: 5 x B-24J Liberator bombing from 3000 feet Airfield Attack: 10 x 500 lb GP Bomb

Considering the disparity in numbers I'd say the Hellcats did well against the hordes of Georges: G 190/3 128/1 H 32/10 3/1

zuluhour -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (2/5/2016 9:35:08 PM)
There is the numbers game....I reread some of the air coordination notes as well as the changes from witp to AE and discovered some old gems of wisdom I had long forgot about. I hope the Hellcat can prove itself in an offensive role as I want to keep the P47s in the CBI. Even if they can fly at low kill ratios but get home to help the F4Us gain air superiority I can live with it. I sure would not have wanted to be them in the first wave.[X(] [image]local://upfiles/37319/FC152A3F4C5649E8897C0044A94E55F3.jpg[/image]

BBfanboy -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (2/7/2016 8:59:28 PM)
9 Battleships! I like the way you think! [:D] I think there was a unit there with some guns and vehicles (arty or AA) and you wiped it out. I don't see any combat squads on the casualty lists so I think your attack will be a pushover.

zuluhour -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (2/12/2016 12:34:48 AM)
nothing like brute force. [;)] [image]local://upfiles/37319/465C49F49F54433D94814DB2C4F2194F.jpg[/image]

BBfanboy -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (2/12/2016 12:45:40 AM)
Ouch! On both sides. What does the Intel screen say about aircraft losses this turn? I am betting a lot of those damaged planes never got back to KB.

zuluhour -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (2/12/2016 12:50:33 AM)
Between Rabaul and the KB, 110 or so IJ to 20 odd US and allies. I believe about 75 to 80 KB a/c downed. I lost a Jeep carrier and an AK......so far. It did provoke a reaction though. It will be hard for me to wait for the return turn. The USN is at sea!

How are you using your second generation Corsairs? I put them on my best CV fighter groups to be used exclusively as CV CAP and allowed the more numerous Hellcats to do both CAP and Escort duties.

zuluhour -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (2/12/2016 9:16:43 PM)
The carrier capable F4Us are parceled out, albeit thinly so far. Just got this turn back. Obviously anger doesn't work well. [image]local://upfiles/37319/B6F159AF5EE84C30A3CE9C729D0D2A3E.jpg[/image]

Focus Grasshopper, focus! [sm=duel.gif]

zuluhour -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (2/15/2016 11:16:00 PM)
I MUST focus on this pivotal point in the war. Map showing conditions as of 4 April. TFs are ready to debark in 72 hours for TASK-3 SoPac. Makin was occupied three days ago in CenPac. Oolong Java is now a seaplane base extending the CATs range out into the "hole" KB slipped through. I believe this will decide "our war" as a loss here is curtains given the present date. OOB, routing, and objectives to follow when the TFs are well to sea. [image]local://upfiles/37319/65D4897AD1F54FAA87DDA16A5E02CF08.jpg[/image]

It looks like you could grab Rossel Island area and start your way for Milne Bay as there is nothing but dot bases. Time to make Coral Sea a private swimming hole.

zuluhour -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (2/20/2016 6:30:24 PM)
I am looking at giving him multiple AOs to think about now, I wonder......will he commit KB here??? [image]local://upfiles/37319/F4D067CCE56E41F09E0C1434D5B87CB2.jpg[/image]

BBfanboy -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (2/20/2016 8:58:26 PM)
You just knocked off 1/4 or more of 18 Division's AV at Lunga, and reduced the forts. Looking good! Can you attack again before he recovers?

zuluhour -> RE: To Young to Die, To Old to Rock and Roll (2/20/2016 9:04:32 PM)
I attack again today and reduce forts to one, it's looking good. The 2nd Marine Div joins in the fray.
