I've already posted some of these already, but the list grows longer every day:

1. Sending 45 crated B-17s to Noumea in a lone unescorted AK, which was torpedoed and sunk 2 hexes off New Caledonia.

2. Sending a TF of about 12 transports back and forth to Alaska empty, twice.

3. Sending about a dozen unescorted AKs straight past Japan-held Singapore because I failed to set a waypoint to steer them around it. Scratch 12 transports.

4. Losing Mandalay on February 9, 1942 -- almost three months earlier than historically.

5. Not realizing until February 8, 1942, that there are many unused divisions of Chinese infantry at a base a short distance from Mandalay. :(

Well, there way that little incident with an old scenario file where Pry had all the CV's overloaded with aircraft and ... well, Kamakazes tend to be very effective when there is nothing flying over your 17 CV/CVL/CVE [X(]

Thinking i had loaded a 50 APK task force with supplies and a B17 Group...only to check it 2 hexes away from Hawai to find it only had the B17s on board....D O H

Loaded a TF at Truk to invade Rabaul on Dec 7 with 2 INF units and 2 HQs. 3 days later realised that only the HQs were loaded and were now fighting for their lives, rather unsucessfully. Assembled a quick transport TF, loaded it with the tardy INF, sent it to Rabaul. 3 days later realised they had 0 supplies. Result: untimely end of 2 HQs and 2 INF units. Live and learn. [:)]



hithere -> RE: Your Most Embrassing Moment So Far! (7/17/2004 10:48:21 PM)

evac'ing the AK and TK from the SRA and realizing that i did not load a drop of oil or res.....then sending them all the way back and loseing half of them to a IJN carrier force.....long trip just to get sunk

Sending a Japanese amphib TF to Hong Kong in late Dec '41 with some 20 APs, couple of DD's and some PC's for escorts. Seems I totally forgot about mines and CD battalions. Scratch over half the AP's (still loaded) and almost all the escorts[:@] Second worst moment was when I pulled an even bigger bonehead play and sent a Japanese bombardment TF to Bataan in Jan '42, man do those CA and DD crews HATE me! No ships sunk, but suffice it to say that the Imperial Japanese Navy is now really short of Cruisers[:@] Hope those repair yards forget about the sake for a few weeks, at least until they return my CA's to service! Sure is alot to remember in this game![:D]

Spending PPs to change the HQ of the manila P40s, loading them up in a couple of AKs, and sending them directly into the Shoho Tf; [X(] Not pretty.

Sending an ASW TF from Singapore to chase an IJN sub in Palenbang, after runing low on fuel, deciding to send it back to Pore, to use up some of the fuel there, you know, before the misbegotten sons of the rising sun get it, only to be recived by something like 35 Betties loaded with at least 3 torpedoes each (or so it seemed); scratch about 4 DDs and 3 MSWs[:@]



bradfordkay -> RE: Your Most Embrassing Moment So Far! (7/18/2004 5:28:33 AM)

Diverting 2 retreating APs to Georgetown to rescue the base force there, loading the base force, and forgetting to give it a destination. I next noticed that the TF was unloading in Georgetown and had to reload the troops (you know that these guys loved HQ!). Needless to say, the lost days meant that the 2 APS were destroyed by Japanese bombers and the base force was lost.

Kaelun, why load P40s onto transports? Why not just fly them out of there?
