BruceAZ -> Is this a fluke or Did I just become Admiral Halsey? (9/30/2003 7:07:21 AM)

Hi Everyone:
I am not sure if this was “tactically correct” but in the early opening moves I had the Lex and Yorktown Group near PM when the IJN hit Gili Gili. After a couple of rounds of pounding the poor base by the IJN TF planes (never intended to stop them; just wanted them to not get it for free), I quickly moved my TF near the base, set my fighters to 30% CAP and covered the TF with fighters from PM. :rolleyes:
What happened really surprised me. The IJN air groups must have been tired but when I hit them, I sank one CV and a CVL while damaging another CV. When their air strike arrived over my task force, they were met with a wall of fighters from the CAP and PM. I took heavy aircraft losses but escaped to the south without any serious damage! I was amazed considering the experience of my pilots and poor AA ratings of the ships! :eek:
Conclusion: Either dumb luck of a beginner or I just discovered the secret to life. Don’t know if this will work again but it sure was fun to get in my hits and not take any in return. Before I went to bed I kissed the AI and thanked her. Of course, she will be hard to live with tomorrow! :)
