It's a bunch of clicking but otherwise no big deal to send an SNLF Company around to take all the dots. Not sure why NJP72 didn't do that

Making it to CT was risk enough. OTOH, by 1943 I found that I did not need the SY in CT for repairs as much as upgrades. And since most upgrades allow you to take the ship out of the SY as soon as it starts, Ramilles can reside there without affecting too much. I am also guessing that you won't be using the RN aggressively in the IO for at least 3 months.

Not sure why NJP72 didn't do that Well, building them up would certainly alert Japan, and you can't put a garrison on each one to prevent landings. Sneaky naval search dot bases on the other hand...

Sept 26, 1942 We spotted 8 IJN destroyers heading for Marcus...where our AP and xAP were unloading coastal guns and supplies....with only two destroyers (clemson class too) for defense... So I put the least aggressive commanders in place and set them to run interference....while some ships disbanded in port (likely a mistake) while others fled. Plus I sent the Gamble in to lay a minefield...hoping for an 2nd phase movement into the base... Our merchant shipping fled...some reacting but managed to avoid combat so far...

Gamble appeared too early...and fought 2 engagements. This first one she did okay...but then was nailed hard in the 2nd...Gamble founders during the morning hours 45 miles north of Marcus Island. [image]local://upfiles/44178/296F497CB9F241AE91B14C431D633E89.jpg[/image]

2nd Marine Air Wing put together this attack...of interest here is the P40s are flying close escort (i.e. the altitude is identical to the SBDs) while the F4F are flying high escort. They all coordinated... [image]local://upfiles/44178/FC182EB9E18F43D3B97F1D624759281E.jpg[/image]

Lowpe -> RE: Spanking Lowpe (NJP72 vs Lowpe (A)) (2/22/2022 11:57:15 AM)
Our SBDs target a heavy cruiser and light cruiser...but miss. Putting the F4Fs at a higher altitude was most likely a mistake as the Japanese were able to penetrate the fighter screen and get at the SBDs before the attack. A 2nd attack in the afternoon was ill advised... Meanwhile some of the KB shows up...nailing a confused AK that had been torpedoed by a midget the night before.

I have the forces to really trash this group here...but I have avoided conflict, first waiting for the moonlight to improve (which it has) and fear of the KB pouncing. Well, now I know where the KB mostly is.... but I will still avoid a clash as my 40mm upgrades go thru...they are potent tagging weapons in any night encounter. I well recall how the USN improves in night fighting and it isn't just experience, the ship upgrades are wonderful. Given my coordinated strike, Japan might pull back...or given the results they might continue to dither. Putting those Wildcats on high escort was a big mistake.[:-] They were at 29K.[X(] [image]local://upfiles/44178/807E586BADF94DD1A12008C5C4B34AFA.jpg[/image]
