Some this and that items: 1. 1st Marine Division, destroyed at Sabang 2.5 months ago, is rebuilding at Pearl Harbor. Presently the division has 160 AV, so it's making good progress. But the unit arrived at San Fran with 40 experience and 40 morale. So it's not going to be battle worthy for a long time. The best thing I can probably do is land her at a poorly defended base where she can march inland and pick up experience fighting weak enemy units. IE, Luzon might be a good target for the division at some future date. (From this standpoint, wouldn't it be better to withdraw a cadre of a division to rebuild later, on the assumption that the cadre will begin with the actual experience level and that all reinfocements will then arrive at that level?) 2. CV Hornet will arrive at Pearl tomorrow. In checking her air squadrons, I found that her average fighter pilot experience is 80. The fighter pilots on this carrier are truly elite (at least in my experience as an Allied player). The fighter pilots on CV Enterprise, also due at Pearl tomorrow, are just behind at average exp. of 79. 3. My naval pilot pools are lower than I had expected as a result of the great naval battle. Well, fighter pilot replacements are adequate, but dive bomber and torpedo bomber replacements are low. I'll have to work hard to address this. 4. While Thin Man was going on, I recall Yaab posting that my play was "very sloppy" (right after I lost CA Pensacola, which was trying to protect shipping at Wotje or Maloelap. At about the same time, another forumite said that I "seemed to be off my game." Both of these comments caught me by surprise, as I felt like things were going remarkably well.
