Well that seems to do it for the forces at Rabaul. On a techqhical aspect, pretty soon my TFs will be away from the vicinity of Aden and the Canal Zone, and then we can try that fix and free my trapped BB[8\|] Not that it will make any difference......

I see you are suffering from the retarded air asw model as well Kaelun. Lots of dumb submariners cruising on the surface in daylight off Hawaii.[8\|]

I would not worry about that to much. They needed non moving targets for new pilot training. [:'(]

kaleun -> RE: HALSEY DEFECTS (12/20/2005 10:47:21 PM)
If I recall correctly I had a bunch of surface asw chasing after those subs. They must have damaged them enough to prevent them from diving, and then the airedales got the credit.

KB vanishes into thin air, again. Problem is my recon resources in the area are very scarce right now. His BBs are nosing around PM, probably chasing a couple of transport TFs. I wish I had some torpedo bombers to give them a scare[8\|] The Hudsons would just scratch the pain, if they were to hit the BBs, which they wont.

An enemy carrier TF is now raiding around PagoPago. It is not KB since there are Claudes involved. I'd sure like to get an attack on its replenishment TF, however my carriers are, of course, out of place. His BB cream Port Moresby, but there appears to be no follow up invasion force. Canton Is. now has betties flying from there.[:(] AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 02/20/42 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Naval bombardment of Port Moresby, at 54,93 Allied aircraft no flights Allied aircraft losses Catalina I: 2 destroyed A-24 Dauntless: 8 destroyed Wirraway: 4 destroyed Hudson I: 1 destroyed Japanese Ships DD Uzuki DD Oboro DD Wakaba DD Hatsushimo DD Nenohi DD Hatsuharu CL Kiso CA Kako CA Furutaka CA Kinugasa CA Aoba BB Yamashiro BB Fuso BB Hyuga BB Ise BB Mutsu Allied ground losses: 183 casualties reported Guns lost 3 Airbase hits 21 Airbase supply hits 8 Runway hits 90 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Rangoon , at 29,33 Japanese aircraft Ki-46-II Dinah x 3 No Japanese losses -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF at 24,51 Allied aircraft Martin 139 x 3 No Allied losses Japanese Ships CL Isuzu Aircraft Attacking: 3 x Martin 139 bombing at 5000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF at 22,49 Allied aircraft T.IVa x 7 Martin 139 x 26 Allied aircraft losses T.IVa: 2 damaged Martin 139: 2 damaged Japanese Ships CA Chokai DD Matsukaze DD Asakaze CL Naka CA Mogami DD Murasame ------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF at 103,107 Japanese aircraft G4M1 Betty x 11 No Japanese losses Allied Ships AK Dorothy Luckenbach AK Henry S Grove -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF, near Pago Pago at 96,113 Japanese aircraft G4M1 Betty x 12 No Japanese losses Allied Ships AK Sea Thrush DD Morris Aircraft Attacking: 3 x G4M1 Betty bombing at 15000 feet 9 x G4M1 Betty bombing at 15000 feet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF at 22,49 Allied aircraft T.IVa x 5 Martin 139 x 20 Allied aircraft losses T.IVa: 1 damaged Japanese Ships CA Chokai CL Naka DD Matsukaze CA Mogami ---------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF at 103,107 Japanese aircraft G4M1 Betty x 21 No Japanese losses Allied Ships AK Arkansan AK Dorothy Luckenbach AK Ensley City -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF, near Pago Pago at 96,113 Japanese aircraft A5M4 Claude x 11 A6M2 Zero x 9 B5N2 Kate x 52 Japanese aircraft losses B5N2 Kate: 2 damaged Allied Ships AV Tangier, Torpedo hits 3, on fire, heavy damage MSW Bobolink, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage AO Sepulga, Torpedo hits 3, on fire, heavy damage AD Whitney -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Naval bombardment of Port Moresby, at 54,93 Allied aircraft no flights Allied aircraft losses Wirraway: 1 destroyed Catalina I: 1 destroyed Japanese Ships DD Uzuki DD Oboro DD Wakaba DD Hatsushimo DD Nenohi DD Hatsuharu CL Kiso CA Kako CA Furutaka CA Kinugasa CA Aoba BB Yamashiro BB Fuso BB Hyuga BB Ise BB Mutsu Allied ground losses: 98 casualties reported Guns lost 1 Airbase hits 1 Airbase supply hits 2 Runway hits 14 Port hits 13 Port supply hits 9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TF 20 troops unloading over beach at San Jose, 42,54 Japanese ground losses: 207 casualties reported -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at 47,38 Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 33710 troops, 354 guns, 33 vehicles Defending force 32663 troops, 273 guns, 0 vehicles Japanese assault odds: 0 to 1 Japanese ground losses: 400 casualties reported Guns lost 10 Allied ground losses: 380 casualties reported Guns lost 20 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Linfen Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 32103 troops, 317 guns, 17 vehicles Defending force 22605 troops, 144 guns, 0 vehicles Japanese assault odds: 0 to 1 (fort level 4) Japanese ground losses: 2092 casualties reported Guns lost 31 Vehicles lost 4 Allied ground losses: 149 casualties reported Guns lost 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Rangoon Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 20503 troops, 158 guns, 27 vehicles Defending force 0 troops, 0 guns, 0 vehicles Japanese assault odds: 706 to 1 (fort level 4) Japanese forces CAPTURE Rangoon base !!!
