Weather forecast is quite pleasant, don't you think?

They moderated our forecast to 12 to 18 inches the next 36 hours. I'll take that over an Aleutians blizzard!

Japan gets a CVL, CVE, CLAA x2, and the Musashi in one week or less.

The CVE's will join two others and steam for Singers, perhaps they might get to Ceylon in time. Have to be real careful with them, as they pretty much normally are just victory points for the Allies.

Status: offline 		I have no real plans on escalating the speed of the invasion of Adak, it is bait to hopefully get the Allies to push their ships forward. Or even just tie up his fleet here.

Isolate and reduce. I have some hefty air cap from only 1 hex away to catch transports, and soon more from two hexes.

I would really like to have at least one super BB here before seeking to engage the Allied fleets again, although I am toying with plans to sneak the KB into CV clash on my terms. I have tried a few times and failed.

My best guess is that at least one month will pass before any actual invasion on Adak occurs.

Status: offline 		I am starting to see the impact of operating ships in this frozen winterland. Japan still only has two ARs, both present here in the north, but we have many AD and smaller aux repair ships present.

Should be interesting to see the continued effect of operating here in foul weather. I wish it was even harsher, to be honest.

Dunno.

What would you do...push on into Colombo where a BB SAG is spotted, with a cruiser SAG at Koggla, divert the invasion and send the British Battleships in?
