Status: offline 		Following Kido Butai Steps:

Dec 8th Kido Butai were at NW of Midway after PH attack running to home waters, needed to run 50 hexes probably at cruise speed, then SORYU-HIRYU-SHOKAKU-ZUIKAKU return to NW of Wake Island and launch a sweep attack first, and then an seriously attack on maritime links near Wake (Dec 26th). KB probably replenishment before head to NE off Hawaii Islands to arrive Jan 1st 1942 when KB was spotted. Eleven days after KB was at West Coast attacking Portland shipyards and Boise resource facilities. It is needed to run more than 40 hexes, then probably all route was at cruise speed, like returning at French Frigate Shoals (40-50 hexes in 8 days).
KB at Feb 20th was near French Frigate Shoals heading SE, probably Marshalls Islands.

Endure for Shokaku class is 9700 nm, and endure for Soryu class is 7.700 nm. They had replenishment sure.

Do you have AKs with only supply included in the PHIBRONs?

That battle for the Marshalls was a back breaker. I don't know who the Japanese opponent was - and I don't mean to be over-critical of anyone, but a look at the forces involved suggests he didn't take the USN seriously enough - and you had him way 'outgunned', as it were.

What were your overall thoughts?

Brian

EDIT: This has been a 1st class AAR by the way!

Status: offline 		Thank you for comments Big-B!

I really thinks that japanese player fall in some wrongs:

a) Dispensive efforts in secondary fronts like South China and Phillipine Islands. DEI must pay more attention.
b) Too much conservative in the early of the war.
c) No blockading the P.I. and DEI waters to deny at allied.
d) Raid over United States without strategic size, probably begining without enough intel reports about our naval movements.
e) Massive counter strike at Marshalls without enought intel about our offensive efforts. Too much anxious to strike back at soon as possible without enough local air and naval superiority.

Thank you everybody interested in this game, I probably will begin new game in several weeks.

Well I will be looking forward to your next AAR. You put together some of the best maps of anyone around here!
