Thankyou guys! All very much appreciated and will help me loads in my work!

<r> Hello all, its been a while since I've posted here reguarlly but I thought I'd come crawling back for some advice from this great center of knowledge. [;)]<br/>
<br/>
I am currently doing my A levels and for a personal study I have chosen to do a question on the Pacific war. The question is ...

Out of all the things seriously broken in this game. I can't beleive the original poster lost it over that.

You'll soon find that massed LBA in the form of medium and heavy bombers are the Allies silver bullet against the KB.

Don't hang around Noumea for too long...

If, well when the British/American imtruders enter Palembang, will Oil production cease?

I think i can hold it for a while, but it would be pointless if combat in the hex stopped oil production.

<t> Depsite KB neutering itself things are going well, after the two quick crushing defeats at Wake and Marcus Rob hasn't really taken the initative in the Central pacific, maybe he couldn't decide to go for the Marinias or Iwo/Bonin. <br/>
<br/>
As a result i have around 650 assualt points behind ...

Rob told me he does know how make his armies arrive at the same place at the same time, but im not convinced. [;)]

The only damaged sustained by my ships was caused by the CV TF spotted yesterday. They parked 180 miles NW of Kuching and the CRAZY A2A model showed itself again:<br/>

Day Air attack on TF, near Kuching at 28,56<br/>
<br ...

<t> So many of the proud, brave aircrews that have lead me to many victories, Pearl Harbour and Canton being the most prominent. Now lie dead, the heart of the Kido Butai has been ripped out... <br/>
<br/>
The Carriers themselves limp back to Soerabaja, just enough fuel to get there, and they'll ...

<r> The KB'S bomber/fighter arm is decimated in one day of air combat, 30 Thunderbolts and 30 Spitfires shoot down.. <br/>
<br/>
<br/>
101 Vals<br/>
83 Kates<br/>
<br/>
And around 80 assorted Zero's <br/>
<br/>
My escort levels where too low...but still, another serious blow for me..dunno ...

Java can be a very tough nut, so can Timor but the speed your taking Malaya at Aztez shouldnt have much time to build up fortresses here.

Good job so far .

Ouch, bloody air combat.

<t> Ok calmed down now, the KB situation is bullshit. But i cant moan about teloek being level 2. Just got to dust myself down and get on with it... <br/>
<br/>
The bright side... Rob may put another 50 fighters in Teloek, though unlikey, he might, and if his Cv's have gone home which i suspect ...

<r> The war is over, Palembang will fall, Teloekboteng or whatever the damn place is called is now a level 2 airfield. The Kido Butai decided to go into Brunei THEN RETIRE BACK TO TAKAO, even though i explictly remember setting both taskforces homebase as Brunei to prevent this, so they are once ...

30 enemy units are marching on Rahaeng, 20 enemy units holding NE of Moulmien, I've my 715 assault points dont hold Rahaeng ill have ctangus to hang in Tokyo as well! [:D]

<t> Tanaka will have quite a impressive surface force if the time is available to rally it, the following taskforce is a few days out of Kendari. <br/>
<br/>
BB Haruna<br/>
BB Nagato<br/>
BB Fuso<br/>
CA Mogami<br/>
CA Myoko <br/>
CA Suzuya<br/>
CA Furutaka <br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Along with ...

<t> The KB docked and refueled at Brunei today...well at the least the Kaga did, i forgot to set the 'fast' KB taskforce to full speed, as a result its still 6 hexes out of Brunei. This i'll delay the Kido Butais entry into the Java Sea by a couple of days. The 18th I reckon..<br/>
<br/>
Its first ...

<t> Despite sinking the Cowpens, and (presumably) putting the Prince of Wales out of the war for quite a while, i think the battles beginning to swing in Rob's favour. <br/>
<br/>
That level 1 airfield he now has on the southern foot on Teloekboteng will give him the capacity to place 50 fighters ...

<t> Ugh, hurry up Kido Butai we need you! <br/>
<br/>
The poor expierience levels of my LBA at Palembang showed today, a 70-80 exp group would have decimated this taskforce, but these arent 70-80 they're 50-60. [:(]<br/>

Great read. Cuttlefish have you read 'Requiem for Yamato' its a series of diary entrys much like your own by a Ensign (i think) aboard the Yamato on its last sortie, stirring stuff. Might get your creative juices flowing, not that they aren't already.
