You cannot wait for him to do what you want. He won't. You must provoke him with some kind of bait that makes it seem worth the risk of moving where you want him. Much depends on Shokaku and Zuikaku remaining unseen until you strike, so keep ...

If you have any damaged transports, put them into decoy. That way it would look, that TF got more damages, than planes actually caused. And load some unimportant Base Force onto it. Enemy will see troop loses.<br/>

Make this TF big ...

Guadalcanal is hopeless at this point. PM is still an outside possibility. Your Amphibious TF with additional troops for PM will be spotted and likely engaged before arriving at PM. While a stout BB/CA surface cover force is necessary it ...

I don't think you are in a hurry. Towards which target are your LCUs planning? Landing them directly onto Port Moresby will cost you 10-30% AV, with insufficient planning, closer to 50%. How long will they march by Kokoda?<br/>

<r> Hi everyone, it has been a very busy few weeks so I had to take a break but the game is very much still alive. <br/>

I have likely lost this campaign, but it has been a terrific learning curve. There is, however, one last roll of the dice to be had... [8D]<br/>

<r> And here are my recovering fleet carriers which should be operational in the coming two weeks once they've been worked back up. In that time I should have retreated from Lunga, reached PB and have enough fuel to carrier out some major operations. I will do some extensive Recon with available ...

<r> So, the carrier situation. I currently have 4 operational carriers of varying quality. Here they are below with their associated airwings. I hope my fleet carriers will join them in the coming weeks so I have a solid fleet air arm to take to see. I have a bunch of battleships now too which will ...

<r> Thanks for all your comments regarding withdrawals and also advice on my troops at Lunga. <br/>

Given my horrific 25% attrition rate on my attack I have started my withdrawal. Fortunately my opponent has yet to attack in any way other than a bombardment. So my troops are making good ...

Question
Group Withdrawals:
8 overdue (144 Daily PP, 1584 Accumulated PP)

What does this mean from my operations report?
I have noticed some airgroups have said overdue withdrawal. Is it my responsibility to 'disband' them??
