Grotius -> RE: TRUK FALLS (6/7/2006 9:00:42 AM) Congrats on Truk! A big win for you. As I recall, you lost a number of CVs early on. Have you evened the score, or received enough new CVs to cover your losses? Or have you been advancing wherever KB isn't?

---

kaleun -> RE: TRUK FALLS (6/7/2006 6:15:45 PM) Some Essex class CVs have been received, but numbers still favor the Japanese. His three attacks on Tricomalee have netted him all the British carriers too, at a high cost in aircrews, which I don't think he will be able to easily replace. At the same time, two of his carriers suffered some damage. Until now I have advanced where K B isn't, but I may start becoming more aggressive in the future. [;)] It may be time to start looking for a fight[:)] Or perhaps not yet....

Arstavidios -> RE: TRUK FALLS (6/7/2006 7:31:35 PM) With Truk in your hands you can now start advancing deep into Japanese territory.
