The jerk ran over my foot while turning left on a "pedestrian walk" sign. Kept on going. I caught him at the lights and cuffed the text messaging dick for good measure. Of course, the pain did not start for an hour and regrettably I figured no real harm done and failed to get his particulars, thinking a good cuff was enough. Thankfully, I've only sprained the ankle. They really need to crack down on this cell phone/text messaging while driving crap.

RUPD, the only time my opponent tried to bombard singapore he lost a CA, had several others damaged and caused almost no damage. Also check the first team take two AAR for another example where the CD guns wreak havoc. I agree tho, they should be more lethal

1) Avoid losing any carriers 2) Combine carriers into this type of fleet Allied Carrier Force ~ 9/42 F4F SBD TBF CV Lexington 60/18/15 CV Saratoga 60/18/15 CV Yorktown 60/18/15 CV Enterprise 60/18/15 CV Hornet 60/18/15 CV Wasp 30/30/12 BB North Carolina BB South Dakota BB Washington CLAA San Juan CLAA Atlanta CLAA Juneau CLAA San Diego 12 x Benson Class Destroyers (8 ASW) Somewhat unassailable by surface units, submarines, or aircraft F4F --> Shoot down any strike planes SBD --> Sink any Carriers TBF --> Sink any battleships

There are far too many aircraft in the TF, so you will be affected by the air strike coordination rule. Another problem is that with this many capital ships in the TF, signals intel is likely to make it easier to track. A question that I have is how are you getting airgroups with 60 F4F on the carriers at this time of the war?

I think he does that by putting the 24 plane marine squadrons on them, in addition to the 36 plane VF squadrons. Personally I'd divide this TF atleast into three separate TF's, provided I could find escorts. It would probably require most of the USN surface ships, but it's a good use.

As the Jap, I would LOVE to see that allied carrier force!! I'd lose a pair of CVLs sinking them.

Miller -> RE: Surviving the first 6 months as the Allies (Long) (3/8/2009 2:45:37 PM)
Yep, not enough SBDs. I would maybe put a couple of 24 plane marine sqd's onboard at the expense of the torpedo a/c. Putting an extra sqd onboard each CV is gamey IMO.

Greetings, The 24 planes squadrons of F4F are placed on each CV. A CAP of 300+ wildcats is virtually impennetrable, provided that the carriers are able to remain in one hex. With separates task forces, the Movenment co-ordination penalty will be applied provided (when ships move more than 2 hexes in one phase) which is generally case during the carrier reaction phase. If the USN carrier force is united, then any threats can be absorbed. If necessary, even 10 marine squadrons can be placed on the CVs creating a 480 Wildcat CAP (at 90%). The KB airstrikes can be attrited during the first day and if necesssary, the fully replenished dauntless squadrons can be flown from nearby land bases for day 2 (pulverizing the helpless KB flight decks). [8D] It is a battle of Kursk at Sea
