Sgt.-Flautist Arpeggio: 17:30 yesterday, sir.

2nd Lt. H.V.B. Burgerhout: Yesterday? Why on earth did you not report it yesterday?

Sgt.-Flautist Arpeggio: Canoe sir, I came by canoe

2nd Lt. H.V.B. Burgerhout: Hmmm. Very well. Description of vessels?

Sgt.-Flautist Arpeggio: Yes, we estimate 7 carriers, 11 cruisers/destroyers and one Nagato class BB.

USS Indiana has only 3% flooding and only one "major" flooding pt. She is making 27 kts. She can be repaired without dry dock.

Indiana pulls back out of range and join up with USS Washington coming up from the Torres St. I don't think we have a realistic chance of breaking through the CAP so the bombers will pull back. I don't think they will risk the KB in the Ceram/NG gap after what happened to the US carrier there.

Why on Earth would you pull out 73 front line fighters from Dobo? Use them in place to shred his incoming KB strike.

Best case scenario: the KB strikes are unescorted / poorly escorted. You'll shred wave after wave of his Imperial Majesty's naval best and neuter the KB for a long time.

Worst case scenario: KB strikes are adequately escorted and fly into your Dobo buzzsaw. You trade 1 of yours for every two of his. The best trade versus KB that you're going to get from land-based naval aviation.

Set 90% CAP, range=1 (so they'll bleed over to CAP Taberfane too) and keep your fingers crossed that he wantonly attacks into prepared defenses. Move out your torpedo bombers if you're concerned about a bunch of KB bombers getting through. I'd not initiate a naval attack without fighter escort-it looks like you'll be keeping those fighters overhead, so save the TBs for another time.

Status: offline 		Yes, I was thinking along those lines but with the buzzsaw flying out of Taberfane instead. After the fighting yesterday, there are 20 disabled F4F's and 14 disabled Sea Hurris at Dobo. I think perhaps move 125 good fighters to Taberfane and get the cripples out by AK's waiting at Dobo for this purpose. Then leave an AP or some DD's at Taberfane and try to bait in an anti-shipping attack at Taberfane.

There are 50-ish hot-shot Zekes pilots at Ternate than can sweep over Dobo but not Taberfane (which is one hex to far).

Other possibilities:

1) Barges from Palawan or Panay
2) C-47's from Iolio of Palawan flying in to Iba might work until the Japs work out where they are flying.
3) Sub transport would work but you would need 20 subs to make a dent.
4) B-17's from Mindanao could help and would at least be able to defend themselves a bit.

Probably will try to hold on with temporizing measures until the USN carriers arrive in numbers in July and then surge in a couple of hundred fighters to Mindanao and try Death Star v Death Star

I had a dream I was in Central America but lost my flight information and couldn't remember which country I was flying to. I am pretty sure this is a strategic planning nightmare dream. Then I had a dream I was in a giant home where everyone drove green Jaguar sedans INSIDE the house and I had a fender bender trying to get between the coffee table and the couch. This, clearly is meant to signify the dangerous waters between Ceram and New Guinea.

I am getting pretty good at dream analysis.

Indiana repaired all but one flood damage point at sea.

KB was spotted SE of Beazelbob, headed NE....probably to the HI for some upgrades but I don't trust the LYB's. I had to pause the transport train from Midway to Mindanao to see what the KB does.

DEI and New Guinea: LCT's are finally in theater. They are very useful as they tend not to provoke naval air attacks. They are loading supplies at Kaimana to transport to Boela and Sorong. Sorong is still not drawing enough supply from Babo by land because of the crappy mosquito and gator-infested route. Sorong is getting plastered again by Zeke sweeps and Netties from Kendari. It seems like they are up to something. Maybe a landing at Sorong or an attack between the couch and the coffee table.

I am having very vivid dreams lately. I think it is the trauma of the KB showing up suddenly. I had a dream I was in Central America but lost my flight information and couldn't remember which country I was flying to. I am pretty sure this is a strategic planning nightmare dream. Then I had a dream I was in a giant home where everyone drove green Jaguar sedans INSIDE the house and I had a fender bender trying to get between the coffee table and the couch. This, clearly is meant to signify the dangerous waters between Ceram and New Guinea.

I am getting pretty good at dream analysis.

Sometimes a couch is just a couch.

Are you sure the Jaguars weren't PT boats chasing Jap BBs?

Are they going to deliver a lifetime supply of tobacco + pipes to Dougie boy?
