Very, very interesting re loss of 8 CAs to bombardment. The question I have is were they lost during the bombardment, when the base was captured, or a combination of the two? Bombardment: I've yet to encounter a bombardment TF vs. major ...

<r> 5/16/43: BB North Carolina along with several U.S. and Australian CAs provides surface cover for a supply TF while U.S. CVs stand off. Japanese TF is encountered and pummeled; IJN loses 3 Katori CL, 3xDD and an AP, U.S. lost the CVE Chenango to Jap LBA. 8 sunk CAs confirmed in Milne Bay port ...

<r> Repaired U.S. CVs - Hornet, Saratoga and Lexington escort 4 transport and 2 bombardment TFs into Milne Bay - the lead Divisions secure the beachheads, allowing Gen. Robertson to take his 1st Armoured Bde inland and secure the airfield - the operation proceeds smoothly dispite fierce resistance ...

<t> 5/9/43: General Kitano overlooks Milne Bay from 18th Infantry Division Headquarters at Gili Gili. The Japanese Fleet has a strong presence here, but camouflage & torpedo netting has kept this secret from prying allied eyes. While Combined Fleet's battleship strength has been reduced, a large ...

<t> Update - or lack thereof - no bases have changed hands in the last couple of months, U.S. / Australian assaults on Cairns have once again failed, most recently 2 weeks of bombardment by BBs followed by ground assaults again came up short ... U.S. awaiting CV reinforcements and repair, U.S. wolf ...

Frank Barnwell rotates slowly in the air and contemplates the jungle floor, which he figures is about twenty feet below him. He then looks up at his parachute shrouds. These lead up to the thick canopy of vegetation overhead, almost ...

I agree whole heartedly! I don't buy many games, but I just ordered this one based on some comments in the forums. I'm already hooked and I have no ...

Perhaps a Frank Barnwell update as well?&nbsp;[:D]&nbsp;

What will we do when this AAR comes to an end?&nbsp; I'm hoping Japan holds on for at least another year.

Many other Indians have decided it is safer to emigrate to Australia and fight alongside the Aussies, who can be relied on not to run away.

LOL, that is excellent. Nice work incorporating Gandhi into the ...

<t> The first thing I realized is fighter-types will not work in a special-attack role, because (due to a Pacwar feature/bug) they will jettison their ordinance and engage enemy fighters if present (and they generally are after Jan 44). So you need Dive Bombers, Torpedo bombers, or Tac Bombers for ...

3/7/43:&nbsp; The silent service breaks out this turn - along the coast of Japan, U.S. wolfpacks find an excellent hunting ground - 1DD, 2DE, 4TK and 69 MCS sunk [X(]&nbsp; Looks like the bugs have been worked out of the U.S. Torpedoes.

1. I saw mentioned in several threads that switching too many tac-bomber factories to Wellingtons can cause problems, because they subsequently switch automatically to B-24s. Are there any other such automatic switches to be careful about ...

AFAIK TFs may get a PP bonus if they start from a base where their parent HQ is located and if that HQ is prepping for the base being attacked. Ground troops may also get a readiness bonus (they start with 72 readiness after landing based on ...
