<t> I think a tour de force of the Home Islands with my carriers, supported by many replenishment fleets, smashing airfields and ports along the way, might be a good fun idea to "pass the time" before the big invasion. It'll keep Cruft on his toes and not chilling in situ waiting for it.<br/>

<r> <COLOR color="#FF3300"><s>[color=#FF3300]</s>1 I found that attack to be extremely gamey. After all, Greyjoy had the Kuriles and Hokkaido and Radar flew a hundred/2hundred? aircraft all over that to his single base.... there is no possible way that 200 IJ planes can fly over that (all that radar ...

<t> JMalter: Excellent points regarding replenishment. I've been mostly retiring to restock sorties and such, and haven't really used replenishment fleets to keep an entire navy on station. I'm still stuck in the "no toys" mode of carefully husbanding those ships for very limited use. <br/>

This is pretty interesting - usually someone who does aar's is at a disadvantage because the other guy knows your tendencies. But I never really thought of using "what they know" against them, in this manner.

And... I will triple down the fire attacks on Osaka. An invasion of another 2 islands is 4 days out.

Oh look at that, I logged in with the wrong account. Oh well, it happens. Not that I'm being all sneaky and stuff, after all, who's going to think AcePylut is different from AcePylut9 on these here forums.

PS - the Antietam is safely at Amani Oshima - now to clear out some sys damage and IJN subs lurking in the area, and I'll try and move it to a safer location.
