and he is already working on the issue - hope to get it resolved ASAP!

thanks for the help John!

<t> re firebombing: it depends on what you want:<br/>
<br/>
HI, LI, manpower and SOME other factories get damaged A LOT with fire bombing... if you can hit a town hard enough that fires don't go out for 2-3 days - damage will be extensive...<br/>
<br/>
BUT:<br/>
individual factories such as ...

<t> are you sure that you want to land at Ominato??? - have you considered other options?...<br/>
<br/>
personally I perfer either Sendai or Niigata - the latter has the advantage of the island of Sadogashima providing offshore CAP ability....- another unsinkable CV... <br/>
<br/>
I'd rather ...

<r> that is actually quite simple:<br/>
<br/>
we said that we wouldn't do anything too fancy with the warp TFs - so no Mersing - nothing like Ternate or Palembang either...which left something on Luzon... and so we decided to go for Mauban....<br/>
<br/>
now why Mauban... - the bases in the ...

<t> don't bother about waiting for good weather... - I've had the same experience with weather over Hokkaido... - it's always thunderstorms or heavy rains.... doesn't get any better... at least not in the 9 months I've been on this island now with my Allied troops...<br/>

if you can - put all ships into the repair yard - even if it is overfilled this usually keeps them from sinking, no matter how many bombs fall - I know it's gamey - but 5 BBs is already quite enough...no? [X(]

<r> of course all other theaters are now irrelevant....the only thing GreyJoy will have to decide is whether he'd like to go for the coup de grace and invade the HI at some point - or whether he is happy with bombing Japan to dust!<br/>

if he wants to invade Japan itself he will have to ...

I quite agree - I forgot that you already have B-29s - I didn't have that luxury...

<t> if I may - you should also have SS patrol the approaches to Sapporo - he may try to move large convoys onto Sapporo, which is probably his larges port on Hokkaido.... - you really don't want him to reinforce Hokkaido too much... - he can still do so via air and barges... but if he starts using ...

<t> a VERY important hex to move DDs into (and if possible PTs if in range) is Hakodate))<br/>

it has a strong naval fortress - but if you just move into the hex - and not move through it into the sea of Japan then these guns won't attack!<br/>
<br/>
it is a 2 hex move from Ominato - he ...

<t> glad you pulled that off - really impressive! - I can just say that if you have the Kuriles - and then move on to Hokkaido (I took Hokkaido first, but that was obviously a totally different situation) you will bomb Japan into dust - nothing he can do about it!<br/>
