I know someone has said this before, but I cannot remember who. Until I do, or until someone else does, I'm going to call this Lambert's Law. I do not require any deputies to enforce it, I will guarantee your opponent will without any writ from me. It matters not which side you have chosen to be on, Never, ever, advance your carriers into a space not covered by your land based naval search. I understand that the IJN must do so in order to get this war going, but it will never be acceptable after that.
Every time you establish forward bases, risk the troops you send to do that, never any of your carriers. I played four or five PBEMs as the Allied player and every single time I ambushed and destroyed the KB, all six fleet carriers, without losing a single US carrier. Every single time my opponent violated this law and every single time I did not.
The Japanese in real life followed this doctrine....until Coral Sea. After Midway they had no choice. While I firmly believe in "never say never", this is a good , general doctrine. The trick is finding the resources for the doing......[:D][:D]
