RE: IJA Forces at PM
on their way to southern waters (Oz coast) it happened that KB, consisting of nine carriers and several other units in three TFs met the enemy Carrier force. They sailed with no CAP at all overhead... a deadly mistake in these hostile waters. However a lucky circumstand for us.
KB´s A/C attacked at extreme range, but with nice results thanks to our extraordinary training programm. The experience and skill of our pilots is just marvellous.

RE: Allied CV TFs hit hit hit
It appears Ralf got some very lucky "hits" from extended / maximum range to do some "critical system damage" and a few "ammo explosions" against my CVs to make them inoperable... It also appears that most will not be able to launch any aircraft and Ralf will bring the hammer down hard next turn to sink all 6 of them in 1 turn.... unless of course he brings his AV and CS float planes into the action to gain experience for those pilots then it might be 2 turns of pain and suffering for the Allied Captains of the remaining/sinking ships......
RE: Allied CV TFs hit hit hit
rather than "very lucky" it was not too surprising that they performed so well - considering that not a single CAP fighter disturbed our attack...
Today we continued the pursuit and managed to deliver some decent strikes onto the enemy TF. They have split into many several groups in the meantime, and at least one US carrier still operates A/C.
The allied counterstrike falied to make it thru our screen of over 160 Type "0" fighter aircraft and got shredded.
Turn 76: KB closed in for another raid on the enemy flattops. Three of them were reported sunk at the end of the day.

RE: stats
Turn 80 - July 19th 1942. The last remaining enemy carrier in the vicinity, the SARATOGA was sunk today too. And again, floatplanes joined the attack with their 60kg bombs...
We´re wondering about the strange course of the enemy ships, instead of taking shelter in one of the Aussie coast ports they sailed on the open Sea.
And CV SARATOGA also had no CAP at all overhead...

RE: NO CV TF LRCAP
Usually when a CV takes enough system damage, approximately 35-40 points worth, the carrier is unable to launch any fighters or bombers. The only operations could be to transfer aircraft to a nearby land base. Too bad the Saratoga was crippled in the first strike to do any good a few turns later. It was probably the Captains decision to flee North and West away from the IJN KB that was chasing the remaining Allied escorts and transports south back to Noumea....
what direction the offensive will aim for?
not much to report at the moment, pretty silent days now. The Allies keep their A/C restrainedly grounded, while the Empire has retreated to re-organize and re-fuel.
Many objectives seem to lay open, ripe for seizure. Most fingers are pointing towards Australia of course, however the eastern portion of the map looks much more tempting...
In any case, the USN has not much left over to counter our thrust. One carrier (the WASP) plus some surface craft won´t jeopardize our victory. KB will deal with them as with the still weak allied LBA.
IJ GHQ at Tokio and the top brass aboard IJHMS YAMATO are said to brew some kinda plan regarding the next moves. But nothing else than rumors have aired so far...

at the Aussie coast
while closing in to the coast of Australia, the Imperial invasion fleet was attacked by several bomber squadrons operating from Townsville... They´re brave men, but lost almost fifty of their own to our CAP fighters. Except a small bomb hit on one warship the fleet is untouched so far.
We expect more fierce attacks to be released upon us soon...
After several troubles with embarking all those troops and coordinating them into a bold invasion armada, sailing together with the battle fleet and KB took more time than actually thought. We should investigate this little slip-up in order to avoid such things for future operations against Hawaii or the US West Coast...
But tonite, Imperial GHQ will determine the site of the initial landings. Stay tuned for the update...

We are waiting for the paperboy....[8D]
I think I understand what military fame is; to be killed on the field of battle and have your name misspelled in the newspapers.
