Actually, there is talk about loading more units in a regular task force and having a magic move TF move through that hex with the regular task force which then merges with the magic move task force. In other words, more magic move invasions with additional units that weren't loaded. So more units would be at sea, not necessarily moving towards Siam which had some military scuffles with France/Vichy France in Indochina. Some people thought that the Japanese were going to invade Siam only to settle the situation since the Japanese had imposed itself on Vichy controlled Indochina. The Japanese did invade Siam - which resisted for a few days - then went on to Malaya.
More units traveling to different locales could have brought immediate war warnings and alerts that weren't of the type "Here we go again, same ole shyte again!"

Yeah as a mostly allied player i see no issue with doing unhistorical landings as long as they are not super deep (Java,West Coast etc). In my japan game i invaded Bataan turn 1( very costly [:D] ) and my opponent was completely fine with that
From my testing, there seems to be a maximum limit to how far a magic move TF can travel. For instance, it won't be able to reach all the way to a target on the west coast, but would end up moving a decent amount of distance and end up somewhere in the central or eastern Pacific on the second day.

well it's been five days since the big carrier battle and haven't had a turn.
I'd like to see if i'm on track for supplies and fuel. Could somebody please look at my number and let me know what they think?

BTW, i'm reading a lot of posts in other AARs about some people getting really upset about some japan players that rearrange magic move task forces and land at places other than those historically.
TMI, I don't want to know.....
RE: RADM Yamaguchi's Diary (Pls no affins or cheesesteak)
Magic move task force gives you 20x speed as long as you can find some fast ships you can make it to West Coast , here is an example , Heavy Cover task force from Thailand bombarding San Fran on day 1ORIGINAL: Anachro

That's good to know. I admit I haven't tried this with anything other than xAP xAK invasion convoys. Either way, its impractical or still not possible to move TFs that aren't fast (aka no major ground invasion unless you can fit everything onto destroyers or APDs, etc).
In regards to people getting mad, it's a game. People should be able to play it however they want, just make sure both sides have set up rules and expectations beforehand.

RE: RADM Yamaguchi's Diary (Pls no affins or cheesesteak)
Bomb and bombard Adak to reduce supplies plus morale and increase fatigue plus disruption. Then you should be able to attack.
Seek peace but keep your gun handy.

RE: RADM Yamaguchi's Diary (Pls no affins or cheesesteak)
4 Walrus II float planes were listed as ground losses this turn.
Could those be a sign that the BB Revenge went down?
I don't think it would be the CA Devonshire would it?
neither showed in the sunk ship list.

Devonshire can carry 3 + 1 spare
Revenge can carry 1 + 1 spare
so your most likely scenario is Devonshire went down
if you were really lucky, both went down

Hey Jorge thanks for your response. I'm still never sure about how many torpedo hits a ship can take. I'll look back and see if i might have had some previous damage on Devonshire a few turns ago with my bettys.ORIGINAL: Jorge_Stanbury

RE: RADM Yamaguchi's Diary (Pls no affins or cheesesteak)
i can see:
CA Devonshire, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage
BB Revenge, Torpedo hits 2
Revenge is still ok, Devonshire sank
the torpedo didn't sink it, it was likely flooding or fire getting out of control. Your opponent was unlucky
it happens, in my game I lost a Yorktown class carrier to 3 bombs, or something like that. Or better to say these bombs triggered a fire that couldn't be extinguished, kept growing until the ship sank

RE: RADM Yamaguchi's Diary (Pls no affins or cheesesteak)
Those ships in port are hurting from those little bombs. You need to watch and see if any are critical hits or whether or not the belt was penetrated for flooding damage. At least you sank some AMcs . . . [&o]
Seek peace but keep your gun handy.
