Fabertong vs Speedy: The view from the Pole

[fabertong]

You have no proof..........I'm an innocent peace loving penguin......AND I'LL MAKE YOU ALL PAY. BWAHAHAHAHAHA......Just what is D. Craig's address?

[Onime No Kyo]

I can just imagine the poor guy's face as the burly delivery men carry a fridge up his front lawn. A stange fridge that he did not order, with muffled, evil cackling laughter eminating from the inside. [8|]

The perfect gift.

[Onime No Kyo]

I'm sure he'd prefer a stripper in a cake. Can you at least wear a bikini? [:D]

Even I am disturbed by that thought.....though come to think of it.....I do have the legs for it......No, Craig must pay....so It's a brand new shiny fridge for him.

[Onime No Kyo]

You know, in the 1930s the phrase for that was "curtains", as in "It's coitans for ya Rocky, coitans" -Bugs Bunny Nowadays, it seems the phrase has changed to "Its the fridge for you, Craig".  

[Onime No Kyo]

Hmm, it seems the idea's been tried.....

we've been down this road before... [:'(]

[Onime No Kyo]

On second thought, dont wear a bikini. I never realized what an unbecoming sight it would be.

Oct. 1st 1943........Taiho is here......and she's a beaut.........Georges' have arrived and Jills.......

In 2 days.....2 more carriers will be here........and then I'll upgrade all fighters on carriers to Zeke.....all torpedo planes to Jill.........6 weeks of refit.......and then go out to meet the Allied fleet........

Tarawa is being evac'd by air.........
Lost a ML to a sub........bollocks......
New ASW seems to be well....if not sinking.......certainly sending a few ships back to the repair yards.........

Troops are well rationed....and motivated.......all I need now is a Corsair or 2.........

[Onime No Kyo]

Your next 2 CVs are smallfrty right?
 
What does the KB composition look like with the Taiho?

[fabertong]

My next two CVs are Unryu and Amagi.....fleet carriers......so they will jolin Taiho...to form AAG 2..........AAG 1 is Akagi/Sho/Zui..........this will be the backbone of my Carrier force for the next year....or until I lose them all...37 days until Chitose/Chiyoda.....arrive....CVLs........

Oooh. Spiffy! [8D]

Needless to say I've never played far enough to see them in action in my AI games.

Whats the capacity of the Chitose/Chiyoda?

IIRC......30......so usefull back up to the fleet carriers......

[Onime No Kyo]

Do they come with airgroups?

[fabertong]

Yes......some Zekes and some Jills.........

[Onime No Kyo]

Thats good. I bet youd be hard-pressed to find and airgroups that late in the war that you can plunk down on carriers.

Oct 3rd ....1943.....

80 of Liberators raided Lunga today....met by mixed CAP of 20ish of each of the following Zekes/Jacks/Nicks/Tojos.......Speedy lost 24ish Libs.....with the same number damaged.......I lost about 15 aircraft about half lost on the ground.......This is the first time in over six months that Speedy has been active in this theatre.....I don't think it is a strategic shift.....more a probing attack......

Lost 1 AK and 1 AP to his subs today.........

I'm now resigned to the fleet refit not being complete until mid-Nov. and then 2 weeks to deploy..........

I expect Speedy to move for Kwaj......probably taking Malolap first..........

Kirishima down to 10 sys......Hyuga ready to return to sea duty........Kaga now at 50 sys......she was hit end june/early july.....so from 97 sys to 50 sys....has taken three months......she won't be seaworthy until 1944.....
