Andy Mac -> RE: Rabaul falls (2/25/2008 7:04:22 PM)
I am short of MSW's so a total annihalation of my MSW fleet is not acceptable

Andy Mac -> RE: Rabaul falls (2/25/2008 7:06:25 PM)
I am moving the Eastern Fleet, Saratoga, a CVL and soon HMS Indefateagable plus 3 Battleships and CA's to Medan from there they will support US Sixth Armies attack on Singapore. Andy

quote: ORIGINAL: Andy Mac Doesnt that result in the CD guns decimating the MSW's ? Andy no, not if they are one hex OFF the base. Though it seems there is a die roll involved if they clear the mines or not, but I had it happen just recently in my game against Hortlund, so if you have enough MSWs in perhaps different TFs it might work to completely clear the enemy base of mines.

Andy Mac -> RE: Rabaul falls (2/27/2008 1:06:24 PM)
OK good to know. In the West US 6th Army is driving on Singapore. So far I have captured Singora and Alor Star. Pauk may decide to stand at taiping because its immune to naval bombardment or he may keep running to the south. It would be nice to clear Malaya in 44 as it could allow an invasion of either SEA or possibly North Borneo. In the East forces are almost all assembled at Midway the remainder of the fleet sails from Pearl tomorrow and will rendevous off of Wake Andy

Andy Mac -> RE: Rabaul falls (2/29/2008 9:45:46 AM)
I will comment later but I am happy with progress to date my Army continues to drive south at speed !!!! Last Carrier arrived on the West COast and is moving to the sound of the guns rapidly !!!!

From Rabaul 300 B29's can hit the whole of the Marianas..... From Kavieng B24's can suppress Truk and on LR Naval Attack can curtail KB's movement options in the south.... [image]local://upfiles/11987/E10B1C99FE0240D6AE1D6DD1965E3DE5.jpg[/image]

Andy Mac -> RE: Mogami Sinks (3/1/2008 1:02:11 AM)
Someone earlier mentioned siezing Waloep I am now reconsidering it. The speed of my advance accross New Britain and the attack on Kavieng is making me think. If I can take Emirau Island as well and then use my carrier power to sieze Wloeia that has real possibilities. Pauk really left SOPAC undefended. What I could do is resupply the army on the Mariaians and then swing south take Woleia behind Pauk that gives me a fighter field in range of the Marianas. Sly recon from a few days ago indicated only 2 units there say 1 Base Force and maybe a Div I could take that. That would make any attack on the Marianas to land 10th Army a lot less dangerous....

Andy Mac -> RE: Mogami Sinks (3/1/2008 1:24:21 PM)
OK another interesting turn Pauk is placing his LBA in harms way and I am willing to pay the price to attrit it !!! B29's are moving into position at Wake and Rabaul with a reserve at PH. Carriers are moving into place and the 1st wave of 30 subs sortied they will only move to 300 miles west of Wake (under friendly air cover) I will do the other 60 tomorrow and then one wave of 90 USN Subs in three giant wolfpacks will interdict the Mariaianas We are on the move AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 10/16/44 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Night

Hortlund -> RE: CARNAGE OVER SAIPAN (3/6/2008 2:30:12 PM)
Well, that really should be the end of the Marianas shouldnt it? No CV based air on the KB, and Saipan closed until further notice...

Andy Mac -> RE: CARNAGE OVER SAIPAN (3/6/2008 2:49:31 PM)
Well I hope so... I think thats probably KB although only 600 carrier aircraft are involved so he may have more. Yesterday Tinian was crucified today Saipan next up is Guam and then Pagan all the while Superforts will try to keep bases suppressed. He has a LOT of engineers in place so we shall see. I am still scared of the Minefield I am sure to meet at Tinian because I expect the CD guns to sink all my MSW's and I dont see a way of dealing with it. I am open to ideas on how to sweep mines under the guns of massed CD guns.....

Andy Mac -> RE: CARNAGE OVER SAIPAN (3/6/2008 2:50:49 PM)
I am strongly tempted to not rush this and use Superforts to keep on hitting Tinian Port and massed strikes by carier air. My bombers have not yet suffered heavy losses so they need to stay that way.....

saj42 -> RE: CARNAGE OVER SAIPAN (3/6/2008 2:57:35 PM)
Any idea how many of the pilots were saved in those 300+ carrier fighters lost today???

Andy Mac -> RE: CARNAGE OVER SAIPAN (3/6/2008 3:06:39 PM)
Of mine no idea but remember my xp was in the low 50's anyway. But thats ok I expected heavy losses and this tme came prepared for it. 9 CVE's are off covering the invasion fleet and have 180 Hellcats on board. BHR TF is covering another invasion TF and will arrive in 2 days so that adds another 40 hellcats and 30 F4U1D's Add to that I can hotdeck about 400 F4F's onto the fleet. My Xp stinks but I canme prepared for a longer fight this time.....

Andy Mac -> RE: CARNAGE OVER SAIPAN (3/6/2008 3:07:48 PM)
Mixing my TF's up meant that each TF had 1 fleet and 3 or 4 CVE's

Though again I think stacking limits are one of the must have HRs... best to have it even smaller than af size x 50. I guess I have never seen such a huge Japanese strike... can�t remember seeing such a huge Allied strike either...
