PS. Jeff says he wants to continue with the game so I guess we will do that. He will have to pick up the pace though or I will terminate it myself. 2-3 turns per week is not enough for me to keep interest up.

It'll also be fun to see how you continue to push from your recently acquired footholds while Japan has been focused on the West Coast.

I would hate if this story ends. I am pretty curious how it would play long time...

Those TFs SW of LA have not moved much. I wonder if they are barges, escorted by other ships to refuel - only way he could retrieve cadres of his units may have been barges.
DDs could have a field day with such a convoy ...

Looking good! He had an Op Mode - in that battle, which must mean the troops just arriving from LA were still in move mode.
Even though he lost 500 AV in the battle he may have brought a lot more than that from LA and it will be ready to fight next round.
Can you bombard to get a handle on the new AV level?
Do you have a feel for his supply situation (AA guns firing, etc.)? I'm thinking your success in sinking all those AKs a few turns back would have set him back in his supplies.

I don't see why you wouldn't move the troops up from San Diego now. There's no reason not to. The more pressure you put on his troops the better.
I've never been too sure that all the AV of troops in move mode is counted in the raw AV of a combat. It seemed to me that enemy AV next round always seems better than it was prior despite losses. Just an impression - I don't catch enemy troops in the wrong mode often enough to be sure. Usually the Japanese are hunkered down behind forts and my troops are the ones moving in.ORIGINAL: JocMeister

Not sure I follow? [:)] The troops arriving from LA took part in the attack so their AV is accounted for?
Flak is still strong so I doubt supply is an issue right now for him. Losing 2-4 bombers per turn.
AFAIK the full AV of the troops in other than Combat mode is counted. But, what I think you are hot on the trail of is that their adjusted AV will suffer the penalties of their mode, plus more vulnerability during various combat phases (artillery, etc.).ORIGINAL: BBfanboy
