Well, did the turn and I've got to say, the 2nd prong of dandriff was a complete and total failure. [:@][:@][:@][:@][8|][:(]
The second prong of dandriff was simple. The Shokaku, Zuikaku and Hiryu (3 cvs - not sure which ones exactly) were closing on pearl harbour, their objective: a: to hammer Raver's ASW tf's to hell, and b: catch the bastards aircraft on the ground and blast as many of them to oblivion as possible. There was also gonig to be a few squadrons of float planes and vals sent to hit the repair yards.
unfortunately, Raver's float planes finally spotted my cvs - too far out for my planes to launch. The worst part of it all, is that Raver's planes did launch and it made for a very scary turn. 20 B17s launched and came at my cvs - (very thankful I had 40 zeros in the air to deal with them). Fortunately, these are the best fighter pilots in the world, and they shot down 14, 2 more were taken out by flak, and the last 4 crashed into the ocean on the way home. So in a way, at least I thinned out the b17s a bit.
Bad news is that now the bastard knows where half my cvs are, and if he is closing on japan from the north (like frag did) then this CV division won't be able to catch him.
In other news, the Kongo continues to get splashed by falling allied bombs missing as she heads south towards the DEI, while my troops have reduced the forts at Georgetown a little, and also nice to report my engineers have got kendari back into working order (as well as more than a few of my own forts and improvements getting built around the place.
The betty stockpile is looknig better and better, as is the zero stockpile. Lots of pilot training (and lots of bombers hoping to catch Raver's cvs out).
The 1st prong in the indian ocean - well they could be anywhere I guess!
As for the 3rd Prong (actually, more of a cattle prod than a prong) things continue laboriously towards their goal. Hope it goes better than prong 2.
