Well I scatterend my AC TF's keeping away from HI and sank a few transports today 
PZB says they were all empty after unloading 170k supplies !!!!
I am trying to fixate attention on Pagan at moment a little deception plan
I have spotted another convoy to the North East and the Bonins are gettign packed with A/C so I am skirting the islands and trying to chase down thaty convoy before heading for home.
TF's will set sail for destiny tomorrow.
p.s. NY59giants dont bookmark it until its proven to actually work !!!!
Aye 3 TF's on station one at Pearl replenishing and 1 at Entiwock re arming that the plan.
I took major risks at Wasile when I took my carriers in close this is a risk I CANNOT take on this operation PZB has 3 major weapons at his disposal to cause me grief and two minor weapon.
1. Ground Force and Forts to tie me down this is not going to be a short fight.
2. Surface Combat TF's ....his BB's are still intact and will need to be dealt with by keeping my carriers between HI and Marianas enough to stop a 10 hex suicide run in to the invasion beach.
3. Massed airpower my carriers will need to stop it.
These are the major weapons
4. KB hitting my LOC and cripples
5. Subs on lmy LOC hitting cripples
These are the minor weapons.
He can still cause a lot of grief if he decides this is th eline in the sand.
Now he may not he may wait for Kamikazes to activate and use these weapons att he Bonins or Okinawa I dont know
