<t> ...which means: he still has three fleet carriers, maybe two of them more or less fully operational... and there are two sturdy brit carriers around as well...<br/>
<br/>
...if US fleet carriers are beeing repaired, they are likely to be in San Fran or San Diego, no?<br/>

Can you hit ...

<t> Great news on the "Lucky Dragon" (Zuiho). <br/>
<br/>
She will soon return to guard the Pacific and Aviators, Sailors and Soldiers will greet her, saluting with tears in their eyes!<br/>
<br/>
I am still concerned about the splitting up of carriers, though. It may be okay to do so in May 42 ...

A somewhat illustrative way of expressing your thoughts on the Pete, indeed, I would say.

Thank you.

for all their worth, the Hickories did serve me rather well in the Burma Area as rear area transports... they can supply troops stuck in difficult terrain or between bases that are not too far apart... <br/>
<br/>
They be of some use in the PI and in the Sea Straights ...

<t> Dear All<br/>
<br/>
thanks for your comments. Perhaps I should first clarify that I do not consider the Lily "useless" - I said "they are considered useless"... Personally, I tend to respect these old and ugly Kawasaki warhorses... [:D] <br/>
<br/>
Anyway, I was using the Ki-48 for soft ...

<t> Maya - seems to willing to live and fight on.<br/>
<br/>
Zuiho - could it be that she is stabilizing? <br/>
<br/>
Could it be that rescue workers are focussed on Maya and, for some reason, are leaving the Zuiho alone for the long passage to the Yasukuni? <br/>
<br/>
Maybe the port, given ...

uhm... I know these old warhorses are considered useless...

But still - what is the best way to use them?

Thanks

I am encouraged by the fact that such great victories can be achieved even after splitting the valuable carrier forces... <br/>
<br/>
I my AI games (I know, they are much easier than against human) I try to keep at least six in one group, as the rest of East Asian ...

<r> Aichi M6A1 Seiran ("Clear Sky Storm") - a bomber/torpedo bomber that could be launched from a sub... <br/>
<br/>
anyway, I noticed the ship production list includes three I-400 class biggies... <br/>
<br/>
see <br/>

speaking of subs... just out of curiosity...

has anyone ever used the I-400 class subs that are supposed to be available at the end of the war, carrying 3 seirans each?

I mean, has anyone been there? any stories?

cheers

<t> Sir,<br/>

It would be my first PBEM. I have been playing against AI for more than a year. <br/>
<br/>
I guess this would make me intermediate?<br/>
<br/>
I turn historic Jap Sub Doctrine OFF. It means IJN subs will attack allied transports. Rest historic.<br/>

One-day-turns ...

Revered Sempai!

That´s sounds more like where I want to get, Sensei!

Will read you Strategic Decisions Paper for sure! At what point are you now?

That is great, valuable information... [X(]... and I didn't know Yokosuka SNLFs were paras... <br/>

<t> OK - not so sure if NZ is worth the effort... but I have thought of that and actually I am ammassing troops and TRNs in Noumea... but is it really worth it? [&:]<br/>

I've once chased and ambushed (and heavily damaged) a USN CV TF off the NZ coast... [:D] <br/>

You can raid ...

<t> Many Thanks,<br/>

The info is very usefull... Akyab seems like a costly waste of time and is hard to reach indeed... <br/>
<br/>
Yes, I am training with the AI, of course... <br/>
<br/>
Is there a usefull way to use the parashooters? Haven't really figured out their use... <br/>
<br ...

<t> Need some advice, criticism, suggestions:<br/>

I am fairly new to this and have been playing the Japanese side of WITP for about a year now... ...I derived my strategy based only on what I have been reading in history books, and by trying NOT to think like Yamamoto & Co... <br/>
