Desertmole -> RE: Galavanting Supply Convoys (11/16/2004 7:05:02 AM)

Last night I had a TF of 6 PTs decide to attack Rabaul, (complete with 2 BBs in port). Needless to say, there was no shortage of plywood matchsticks in Rabaul that day.[:D] The only reason I continue to use Routine Convoy is that I am late in Scen 17, and have ports and bases needing supplies in several locations at once. Managing all those convoys manually is a royal pain, and adds a good 10 minutes to each turn.[8|] I once had a convoy of tankers decide to do rings around the Shortlands, as if begging to be bombed. I got frustrated after they sank most of them and the TF continued to circle, so I finally scuttled the whole thing (2 damaged TKs and an SC).[sm=00000003.gif] On the other hand, in a previous game, I watched a TF of Japanese cruisers decide to take up residence in the hex next to Vila, where I had a large airbase. My SBDs and B-25s knocked them into fish reefs over the course of the next week.[sm=00000030.gif]
