Terminus, if I understand you, one squadron could have several detachments and therefore more than one type of aircraft. Is that correct?
Secondly, why is Munda a problem? If you get supplies there, shouldn't it be ok?

RE: AE AAR
1. B25's are coming from Cairns there at max range to do it (11 hexes)
2. No all the same
3. Wasp is an older ship and 2 Torps is often enough in order to get as many turns done as possible I am not watching the replays so not sure
4. Human error - I dont have the carriers to fight that far forward and the Japanese keep the AF shut

Terminus, if I understand you, one squadron could have several detachments and therefore more than one type of aircraft. Is that correct?
Yes, but it's a predefined squadron. I.e. if we have squadron X defined in the editor as flying Hurricane IIc's, squadron X/det A could be defined as flying Hurricane IVs at the same time. You still can't fold the detachment into the parent squadron if they're flying different aircraft.
Secondly, why is Munda a problem? If you get supplies there, shouldn't it be ok?
Depends how big it is, how much AV support you have, and the maintenance ratings of the planes based there. However, like Andy says below, apparently Munda is being visited heavily by the Jap AI.
We are all dreams of the Giant Space Butterfly.

Yeah, the original (WWII) Wasp was sunk by 3 Japanese torps, so the game is not that far off! If I remember correctly, the spread of six torpedoes also hit a destroyer and the USS North Carolina....one hell of a great shot by that Japanese sub!

RE: AE AAR
OK my armoured spearhead has arrived at the base 90 miles from Perth - 3 enemy units await | will try a bombardment attack 1st until the Infantry catch up
The amphibs are back at perth but re arming and refuelling a 70 ship TF takes a few days
Essex has arrived as well so the Tarawa invasion will have a reasonable amount of aircover
In a real game or PBEM I would probably waiut for more carrier support before going for Tarawa but what the hell may as well go for it !!!

The amphibs are back at perth but re arming and refuelling a 70 ship TF takes a few days
Essex has arrived as well so the Tarawa invasion will have a reasonable amount of aircover
In a real game or PBEM I would probably waiut for more carrier support before going for Tarawa but what the hell may as well go for it !!!

RE: AE AAR
OK at the town of Cunderin I am facing one of the enhaced Japan Scenario Divisions dug in and fresh with air support depending on the fort levels its probably a 50:50 proposition I think I will wait for the follow on forces to arrive and try to use my Armoured Cars to flank the base and the heavy Armoured Bde to exploit towards Perth
I suspect the fort levels are better at Perth so I would like to bounce em out of this base if I can

After that the battle of Perth begins until I get there I won't know what kind of support the AI has
I will start loading up the Baker and Tarawa forces next turn as well.
Watch tower will be next

RE: AE AAR
You said "enhanced scenario Japan division" being faced at Culverin - does that mean that the Japanese have additional divisions or have some of the historical divisions been upgraded in some way?
RE: AE AAR
Yes in Scenario 2 Japan gets a few more LCU's , a few more Sqns and a few more ships and a little more supply and resource
Its not decisive but it makes things a little easier for Japan and gives them a few more options
I am testing that scenario now because I wanted to test the allied AI reaction to certain moves and its easier in this scenario because I can use those units more easily for speculative scripts without upsetting the core AI
OK II Corps despite its air support not flying <mutters about airdales not flying> managed to break through in a two day battle and get 3rd Motor and 2/11th Armoured Car out in pursuit.
The pursuit has enabled a follow on attack tomorrow which may shred the retreating japanese Division

Its not decisive but it makes things a little easier for Japan and gives them a few more options
I am testing that scenario now because I wanted to test the allied AI reaction to certain moves and its easier in this scenario because I can use those units more easily for speculative scripts without upsetting the core AI
OK II Corps despite its air support not flying <mutters about airdales not flying> managed to break through in a two day battle and get 3rd Motor and 2/11th Armoured Car out in pursuit.
The pursuit has enabled a follow on attack tomorrow which may shred the retreating japanese Division
