RE: Speedy v Admiral DadMan in "Coral Sea: Catch Me if You Can"
I am playing as Japan. My plan is to take Port Moresby, and deprive him of his carriers while I'm at it. He must be careful exposing himself (ok, that is funny), yet he cannot simply let me take the place unmolested.

I press the "PrtSc" (print screen) key. The I open either "paint" or some other editor type program, then paste the image.

There are a few good screen capture-edit programs. I've been using Snag-It.

The plot thickens...
I put the brakes on the landing force until I can push Speedy's carriers away, then I'll drive the troops right in.

Yes he is, but I saw what was coming, and *sigh* screwed up again. My plan was to move the Invasion Force to safety, link up Shoho with CarDiv 5, and stand off for a smackdown. Uhhh NO!
It's 3am EDT and I'm not much in the mood to edit, so below the screen shot is the combat report. Enjoy.

RE: Speedy v Admiral DadMan in "Coral Sea: Catch Me if You Can"
Yorktown looks good as gone. How bad is off Zuikaku? Not bad a trade on the carrier side maybe but the poor invasion force...Not good, not good...I would make a mad dash for Sydney and capture the opera house!

That would have to be an exceptionally mad dash, and involve a time machine... The Sidney Opera House opened in October 1973.[:D]

INSOLENCE! The Emprah does not ask twice!!!
RE: Speedy v Admiral DadMan in "Coral Sea: Catch Me if You Can"
You got to avenge yourself! Did you put your Rabaul planes on alert? They have to contribute to the next round!
Can you tell us what the CAP planes finally achieved? Looks like there were a lot of Flak damage, but little air-to-air engagements

Ummm WOW. Zuikaku was sent packing for Rabaul for repairs.
2 Airstrikes from Rabaul sank Lexington.
Carrier strikes from Shokaku and Shoho crippled Yorktown, where she was finished of by air from Rabaul.
Alpha strike from Lexington sent Shokaku limping back to Rabaul as well.

Not much happening this turn.
USN S-boat subs pummeled near Rabaul.
Lexington reported as sunk,
Yorktown MIA, but search reports ships headed for Brisbane.
Zuikaku in Port Rabaul, 55+ overall damage, fires still burning and some flooding.
Shokaku arrives tomorrow 36 overall, but on fire and flooding.
Shoho will chase the stragglers into the Coral Sea.

RE: Speedy v Admiral DadMan in "Coral Sea: Catch Me if You Can"
Are you going to be able to take Port Moresby?
For what we are about to receive, may we be truly thankful.
