Taxcutter -> RE: Into The Unknown Taxcutter vs. Ironman (7/26/2016 4:22:24 PM)

Update: July 5, 1942 In general, I have Ironman stopped. He presses at Canton, Perth, and the North Pacific with insufficient forces. After beating the place up Ironman sailed away leaving a 6,000 man lodgement of Midway, but I still hold the level 4 fort and the base. After being tormented at Attu and Kiska by a TF of Omaha-class cruisers, Ironman finally sent some surface forces (2 CL, 5 DD) and kicked my Ohamas' butts. One sunk two more badly damaged. Months in Bremerton if i can get them there. I'll have to find other assets for that area. Western Oz has become a killing ground for the IJA. I killed off his overland effort at Perth and have three divisions marching to Geraldton. I'll let the 32nd ID do the heavy work as I don't want to deplete the Australian 7th. The 32nd need more experience. the 32nd will be supported by two (soon to be three) arored battalions and beaucoup artillery (most of it 105s). I've been rotating my P-39s and P-40Es around and rotating pilots within them. Trying to not get my aces killed and bring up the experience of the "average" pilots. At this time I have more good pilots than planes. My fighter squadrons usually have 5-8 more pilots than available planes. Indian front has gone quiet. Ironman has 60,000 men at Akyab but doesn't do anything with them. Overall logistics situation is fairly good, but not ready to support a counter-offensive yet. I'm thinking that by mid-July (soon as I finish converting torpedo bombers) I'll move my Death Star (3 TF aggregating 6 CV, a BB, 3 CLAA, and almost all of my long range destroyers. (Fletchers have not yet begun arriving.) I'll have to be careful with my carriers as I don't have any more in the pipeline til the first of the year.
