I'm curious witpqs - why do you divide your battleships that are bombarding Guam into multiple separate tasks forces instead of combining them into one single large one?

Combination of guns and ship speed. That's not 100% pure at the moment, but when they were all on line (some are being upgraded, repaired, etc.) it was that way. For bombardment it might not matter, but if/when they run into surface opposition it often helps in game to have similar max gun ranges. And as far as speed goes, those old BBs are slow enough without them all losing another knot because of one slow poke in the formation!

Given all the variability in the game I doubt it makes any difference in the long run to the effectiveness of the bombardments. Maybe smooths out the results or something, but that's not a motive for me. Maybe a side effect maybe not.

Sometimes the TFs do better than other times. By doing the smaller ones rather than one large one, it will be more the average. Also, smaller TFs reloading will spread out the OPs points among the AE/AKEs so the TFs are more likely to have a full load of ammo instead of some being shorted. Especially with the different speeds since it may make a difference as to when the TFs arrive.

Interesting. I have mostly been using single large battleship task forces in my Vladivostok bombardments but then again I am not expecting naval opposition and have enough naval support at hand to rearm my ships so I didn't encounter any issues.

It's also long term management for me. I try to keep good TF commanders in place because it costs points to swap them around, so I mostly have TFs that last a long time and move ships to and from port (for repairs) as needed.

witpqs: I'm thinking about making them be the first elements for Formosa, initial target Karenko. Opinions?

Karenko may be the most isolated and easiest to land at, but it has small SPS and it is difficult to break out of because your options are easy to see (west along the south coast or NE to Taihoku) or difficult and slow (through the mountains). Taihoku would have the advantage of having industry you can use and a good SPS, but more likely are Kagi or Taichu on the north coast.
Any way you go will require you to have good control over the sea to bring in supplies.

So the question is, what do you want a base on Formosa for? Close off the strait to enemy shipping? Stage for invasion of south China? Strategic bombing of SW Japan? Each of these suggests different bases for the job.
