And always check your submarine commanders... as a "pro-tip". [8D] Always try to get guys with 55+ Naval and 55+ Aggressiveness. Sub commanders with aggressiveness in 20's are pretty much useless. It is easy to do when you set up SS TF. I use exclusively "Patrol around target"-button. Lot easier if not into total micromanagement... Even with 80% dud rate, you tend to get lot of hits with good commanders. Brits and Dutch obviously have dud rate of 10% from start.

Apparently also at least CV Soryu is around too. BC Repulse got few more bomb hits...

8 Coastal Gun shots and 10 hits ... that's good shooting! [:D]

Here is a save from May 30, 1942 https://www.dropbox.com/s/nw9tb185srvs1xa/wpae014.pws?dl=0 Some interesting things: CV Akagi, that I though I had sunk month ago reappeared...dammit. And Allies had 2 indecisive CV vs CV battles near Port Moresby. Basically minor damage and decimated both sides carrier planes.

Sardaukar -> RE: Sardaukar's another Newbie Campaign 3rd take) (4/11/2019 4:45:00 PM)
Port Moresby has now been scene of lot of naval combat. 2 CV vs CV battles and several of my CV interdictions against IJN surface forces. [image]local://upfiles/4867/F774761973994ED4B427EA53C267AA68.jpg[/image]

Sardaukar -> RE: Sardaukar's another Newbie Campaign 3rd take) (4/11/2019 4:58:33 PM)
When I get my carriers repaired, I need to get more troops and base forces into PM. It seems to be AI's point of interest right now. CV Hornet has arrived, but I have chronic lack of destroyers to escort her and heavy units to PH from Balboa.

Sardaukar -> RE: Sardaukar's another Newbie Campaign 3rd take) (4/11/2019 6:04:17 PM)
Soerabaja falls on May 31, 1942... Also PM is hit by full Kido Butai...resulting ruined airfield and depleted air units...

I definitely need to screen the place (Noumea) with either heavier SCTF or carriers. Other thing is, allies hammered BB Haruna near Port Moresby with dozen bomb hits. Unfortunately, that will not sink a BB.
