Yeah [:D]

I remember thinking to myself after that, leaning back in my chair and rubbing my eyes.. "I need a drink."

Cheers [sm=00000436.gif]

LOL

Saipan's a b****. Bomb, bomb, and then bomb some more.

I think the dumbest thing I've done so far was to transfer a FS to Aparri by accident on 12/8. Oh well, at least I'll get them back next year.[:D]

Trying to scrape together any and all surface units around OZ and NZ then sending them up to try and defend rabaul ! .. forgot there were bettys at Truk .. now no surface forces south of PH and east of Borneo ! .. I hope the japs don't realise this [:D]

I too now know better than to send in bombardment TF's without air cover.


LMFAO! How about the Iowa and New Jersey with 3 CA's and 5 DD's at full speed so they can arrive in the light of day with no air cover and get pasted by coastal guns and 4 carriers. I guess I thought the Japs needed some target practice!

Restart!

On day two, I decided to send the POW TF from Sing north to have some target practice with the amphibs landing supplies and troops on the Malay Pen. Target practice is what happened -- to me! Both my TF Cmdr and I were surprised to find two surface TF sitting there. One torp, Repulse goes boom (finally got to see one of these!), with only the POW and one DD limp home.

Did I bother to check the destination hex for Jap supporting forces? Nooooo! Doh!



kaleun -> RE: Painful Lessons Learned Thread (7/9/2004 9:02:51 PM)

Repulse and POW are torpedo magnets. They have a blow up wish.
Sending them bach to Trinco is no help either, half way there, the commander of the TF decided that he wanted to return to Singapore. (Good thing I caught that).[X(]

Dont leave Tarawa empty. It gives Allied players ideas beyond their station [:-] [:D]



daniel123 -> RE: Painful Lessons Learned Thread (7/9/2004 9:48:48 PM)

its a good idea to change the future objective before boarding a tf. you lose the gains while on the high seas.
