Damn the torpedoes, Full speed ahead! - dennishe vs njp72 - early 1944

[dennishe]

So the Japanese had severely damaged the CV Wasp. Now it is time for the US Navy to strike. Especially the F4F-4 Wildcats get a serous beating...

[dennishe]

After one day of rest the carnage continues

[dennishe]

Since the Burma and India campaigns appear to be seperate battles I have spit the stories

[dennishe]

GEN Wavell has given the sign for operation "Thunderstruck" (named after on of the best songs ever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXeyhLXs-NM&feature=related ) to commence. Goal is to kick the Japanese troops out of India

[dennishe]

KB attacked Tabiteuea once more and were very lucky that my SBD-3 Dauntless pilots had a party last night and were not as accurate as they should be. 18 clear shots at the carriers. 0 hits. Aaaarrrrggggg!!!!!!! [:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@]

[dennishe]

Finally a hit [:D]

[dennishe]

I don't even know what to say. Another carrier gone by submarines [:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@]

The men at Makin met the mighty guns of the Yamato

The CV Formidable is heavily damaged and needs to be withdrawn in 33 days. The port where it cannot repair the ship and transporting it to Sydney would probably cause here to sink. I don't want to spend al those PPs for a ship that needs to be pulled back anyways. Does anybody have a good way out? Besides putting it to sea and hope it sinks

You can scuttle her ...at 90% of VP's ..

[dennishe]

We dropped another bomb on a Japanese carrier. [:D]

[dennishe]

Operation THUNDERSTUCK is a great success.

[dennishe]

There is no evacuation for the Japanese troops that are still stuck in India. I hope...

[dennishe]

In Burma things are still icky...

[dennishe]

Another fierce naval battle

[dennishe]

but we got the BB Fuso [:D][:D][:D][:D]

[dennishe]

An attack on the Chungking valley was repelled

[dennishe]

In the Philippine campaign I used the "black cats" for torpedo attacks on unescorted ships. Pretty effective. Using such strategies also has a downside. It may be used against you.

Sorry for the large amount of text. It won't happen again

Just to say that i truly love this AAR.... not only because it's greatly made, but also because this match is very particular and full of great actions!
