Divebomber Gets Marky'd-Scen15

[AU Tiger_MatrixForum]

He is doing the same crap to me, but unfortunately my CV's are in SF.

[marky]

hmm

all 3 of mine are at Pearl

id keep em there if u can, at least theyre safe

[AU Tiger_MatrixForum]

I had a wild run avoiding KB with my CV's at the beginning so both TF's were all at about 10 damage so I sent them to SF to repair more quickly. I will probably leave them there until the AA upgrades happen.

[marky]

try ssum raiding

transfer the best fighter sqdrns aboard the carriers and only the best SBDs, take the Devastators off theyre useless anyway

try hitting Kwajalein or maybe Tararwa

[marky]

u can send only 1 carrier if ur worried about losing em, or u could send em all and concentrate AA and heavy CAP, about 60% or more, thats wat saved my carriers in the fight with Hartwig, plus the AA of course from all the escorts

[AU Tiger_MatrixForum]

Hmmmm... Good idea. In 11 turns the Yorktown shows, and my ships should be about 100%. I believe I might, if I know where KB is.

[marky]

wats the date in the game?

[marky]

in a game against the AI i pulled a raid on Kwajalein and sank the Mutsu [:D]

[AU Tiger_MatrixForum]

1/2/42.

Dive is way too careful to find something as juicy as that. I have been playing him for a while, but we re-started after I Midway'ed him in may of 42 with only the loss of the Hornet, all others undamaged. I sank 4 or 5 carriers (pure luck). My China situation was a disaster, and he had lost the KB, so we agreed to start over having learned our lessons.

[marky]

yah stick with raidin till later, then wen u got good AA, sum of the fast battleships and the CLAAs and sum good CLs, along with Avengers, THEN engage the KB

[marky]

never engage the KB , unless its invading Hawaii, till late 42, unless u have no other choice, try and use several task fvorces as bait, like a surface force of a couple cruisers and destroyers and an asw force and the AO force so they have sumthin else to aim at [;)][:D]

[AU Tiger_MatrixForum]

I was reinforcing Canton Is., and had reason to believe he had invasion forces heading there (recon flights). My CV's were guarding my reinforcements when Vals and Kates hit my minelayers heading back to PH. I ran the survivors south, and split my CV's into 5 separate TF's. I ran them north. He got cocky, and I got lucky.

[marky]

NICE

u shouldnt have let him restart [:D]

twaz a legit victory

i just wish i had a couple more carriers, Yorktown arrives at SF in 24 days

[AU Tiger_MatrixForum]

Sure it was. And Chungking was about to fall. We were both learning the game, and now are in a fight to the death. He is doing better in places, and so am I. China is well on the way to impregnable. <g>

[marky]

how are u making china impregnable?

[AU Tiger_MatrixForum]
