What can you do elsewhere knowing that the entirety of the IJN is busy on the West Coast? It's not like the Japanese will be able to mount any sizable counter-invasions anytime soon.

Hitler tried the master race breeding program but didn't last long enough to have it be effective. Idoubt the game will go into 1956 when you first feel the affects of the 1942-43 breeding program.

West Coast _____________________________________________________________________________ Hi guys. Sorry for the lack of updates. We managed 2 turns since the last one but there have been very little to report. In fact nothing really has happened...yet! I expect next turn to be violent though. Allied strike planes will sortie tomorrow escorted by 150 fighters. 100 P40Ks will sweep (hopefully in advance). I´m holding the real hammer back until KB arrives though.

Empire strikes back! _____________________________________________________________________________ Didn´t really expect this. Not going to complain to badly though as Japan has diverted CVs to the least important vector. Not sure how much will sink. Most likely 6 or so. Luckily there is only Motorized support left on the ships. I will move some CAP in tomorrow from Townesville. quote: Morning Air attack on TF, near Kirakira at 116,140 Weather in hex: Overcast Raid spotted at 17 NM, estimated altitude 19,000 feet.

Allies strike! _____________________________________________________________________________ Lots and lots of attacks. All on the same convoy though. FOW makes it hard to estimate losses as one attack says "XXX sinks" only for the same ship to show up in the next attack. Some good hits though.

His losses will hurt a lot more than yours Jocke! Very surprised he did not have any LRCAP and sent the ships in anyway. What is the game date, please?

Yeah, I don´t really care about the losses. Mostly annoyed I didn´t have CAP up. But its been so quiet I decided I was better off strengthening the PM CAP instead...serves me right for getting complacent! [:D] Its February 10th I think!

JocMeister -> RE: Invasion West Coast! (10/1/2016 6:35:26 PM)
I´m starting to wonder if he even brought KB with him to the WC! [X(] Got the turn and all I find despite VERY good NavS is a small TF that looks more like a couple of CS/CVEs rather than KB....[&:]

JocMeister -> RE: Invasion West Coast! (10/2/2016 9:07:44 AM)
Had hoped to get the replay during the night as I´m pretty curious about the WC. Nothing yet though. I officially scrubbed Pencil II. Troops are reprepping for other targets. ETA "soon". More on that in a future update. In fact I spent most of the turn changing prepp on various troops all over the globe. Spring and summer will see the allies advance on a very broad front.

JohnDillworth -> RE: Invasion West Coast! (10/2/2016 12:05:56 PM)
might consider switch to bombs on those Torpedo bombers. Bombs will mess up AK's &AP's and you will probably get many more hits. if you persist with torpedoes just check your stocks, one normally would not use them from these bases so you might need to restock

crsutton -> RE: Invasion West Coast! (10/2/2016 5:14:07 PM)
Waste of imitative and resources to attack xAP ans XAKs at Kirakira. Sinking ten merchants does not come close to compensating for revealing where KB is. Very poorly thought out on his behalf. Perhaps he just could not think of anything else to do.

JocMeister -> RE: Invasion West Coast! (10/2/2016 7:36:12 PM)
I think its meant to slow me down a bit. Make me wait for airfields to get operational before launching the next invasion. No turn today so no update. Maybe tomorrow.

San Diego evacuated! _____________________________________________________________________________ The Japanese have evacuated San Diego and all troops have moved to Camp Pendleton where a large scale evacuation seems to be taking place.

poodlebrain -> RE: Invasion West Coast! (10/3/2016 5:22:08 PM)
What are the port levels of the bases the Japanese control on the West Coast? It will take forever to load heavy equipment. My guess is the Japanese load what they can in one day and run for safety. Otherwise the risk of loss just escalates. The bigger issue is what are the Japanese plans for the troops at L.A.? Is the extraction of troops from S.D. just a diversion to soak off your strength before the real evacuation is attempted? The lack of support for the S.D. operation is what makes my spidey sense tingle. Can you get some subs in the area? Should be a target rich environment, and any ASW efforts should reveal presence of KB.

Thats some fine ships he throws away. Japan has plenty of xAKs but only limited AKs. I find those very valuable, especially the fast ones.

Looks like he is using the FT "Pick up troops" option - I think all those ships are capable of FT missions. I have a Pendleton up near Seattle but well inland on the stock map and nothing called Camp Pendleton near SD. What scenario map are you using?

Camp Pendleton is a base hex near SD in DBB.

Air attacks are usually more numerous and takes even longer if there are several I want to show. That quote above takes about 2 minutes to do. Now imagine if there are 5 attacks...and 10 air combats I want to show. It can take up to about 30 mins to manually edit in all the formatting sometimes. Then add a few screens and some screen editing and just doing the screens and formatting can take up to an hour.
