<r> Hi Damien,<br/>

I knew you were busy, so I posted my question here as well. I'm busy also getting ready for my trip and I haven't seen your PM yet but will look for it. Yes, I have plenty of planes in & around Lunga, but in my previous battles I found that overwhelming attack numbers led ...

I would check NavS skill before going into action. If it is as low as I suspect,<br/>

With low skill you will rapidly increase exp, and lacking search skills is<br ...

<r> I have just received a squadron of SBDs [see screenpic]. Should I train them @ Noumea or transfer them to the Hornet which is there getting minor repairs & replenished? I prefer the latter. I think they would get more experience faster by exposing them to combat. The numerical superiority thus ...

Hmmm - the photo was successfully up loaded in My Profile - where do it go - it's not on left...
