Admiral DadMan vs Speedy

[Admiral DadMan]

Ok, for those of you wanting maps and stuff, I'll see what I can later, But here's the core of it:

India:

After watching Speedy bring up multiple TFs to Bombay with CV cover, I decided to do a couple of things.

First was to scrounge up every damn VF I could find and put them on every CV that could move (Lexington, Saratoga, Enterprise, and 2 Brit CV's), then move them within extended range of Bombay. The goal was to attrit his VT and VB strength. I my own VB and VT groups are still decimated, so hitting back was not in the cards.

Well the expected strike developed, and all the CV's took hits (Enterprise more than the rest, she's 55 sys now due to a torp and 2 bombs), but I shredded his offensive power. Now everyone goes back for repairs to Karachi.

Second was to run a CA/CL group into his transports unloading at Bombay while his heavies were backing up for another run. I did some serious damage to at least 4 AK and sank 2 DD. HMS Hawkins was pounded though.

The best I can hope for in India is to attrit the crap out of him. I launched and armored offensive with all my tanks to chase him back to Madras, maybe even kick him out if he stripped the place to take Bombay. I also split off a couple of divisions to take Panaji where he has been staging into Bombay from. It's a desperate gamble, I know, but I can't just let him take the place. I have 2 BG of heavies on the way by ship to Karachi, to help out too.

China:

HE'S KICKIN MY ASS THERE TOO! Damn it. I'm trying to marshal my forces to clean up the ragged lines but, they're still all over the place.

SoPac:

Things are quiet in the South Pacific, too quiet in fact. Maybe the time will soon be ripe to go offensive... in 6 months.

I have driven 2 divisions into Panaji and 4 armored Div toward Bangalore headed for Madras:



It's a hell of a gamble I know, but I MUST MAKE HIM SWEAT.

I have also deployed US subs all along the route between Madras and Bombay, which he must traverse now that I have taken away Panaji as a fueling depot.

Tank Brigades have entered Madras and I intend to shoot up the town for as long as I can. Unfortunatley, the some units did not continue the pursuit, so now I have my armored and infantry widely separated. I'm praying that more support gets down there before he can move any more AV in there.

My carrier groups have been pretty much shredded, and some of the idiots landed at Bombay an they are now stranded.
