Here’s the expected bombing raids with the big LRCAP overhead! Fingers crossed that the Franks stick around for what will probably be a dozen or more raids. Raid 1 – massacre of the Beaufighters Raid 2 – more Beaufigthers, most Franks didn’t make contact Raid 3 – Mitchells strafing Raid 4 – unescorted Beaufighters Raid 5 – Mitchells and Thunderbolts Raid 6 – unescorted Mitchell massacre Raid 7 – unescorted Mitchells and Liberators Raid 8 – same as above, but 50+ Liberators damaged lots of Franks so cut through the CAP Raid 9 – unescorted Mitchells but tiring CAP. Raid 10 – unescorted Liberators Raid 11 – Mitchells with Lightning escorts and Thunderbolts strafing AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR Jan 06, 44 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sub attack near Kofiau at 79,106 TK Taijima Maru PB Banshu Maru #56 PB Hagoromo Maru SS Flier launches 2 torpedoes at TK Taijima Maru PB Hagoromo Maru attacking submerged sub .... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sub attack near Kofiau at 79,107 PB Banshu Maru #56 PB Hagoromo Maru SS Greenling launches 2 torpedoes at PB Banshu Maru #56 PB Hagoromo Maru attacking submerged sub ....
