Rising Sun, Falling Skies: BTSL Bigred vs John 3rd

[bigred]

10/8a: IJN modus operandi is to bombard the hex then airstrike the AF.

Then 100 zeros sweep the Hex. Then 150 Vals and Kates bomb the AF/Port in mixed orders.

In this case an 8 size 5fort AF. IJN has to set some of his force on Naval attack incase my CVs show up.

In this case the 50 allied fighters capped the minesweeper in adjacent hex. An AG was left uncovered.

IJN launched 4 Nav strikes (about 160 Planes). 2 against the AM and 2 against the Ag. Results below.

10/9:
KB lurks off western NZ. No attacks, just recon.

[bigred]

10/10: Base suppression attacks only.

[bigred]

10/10B: KB heads north. Probably time to refuel. Intel reports alot of noise at Java. So the mini KB is refueling also.

John is looking for a 43 auto victory.

He might try for it via NZ(which he just scouted). Or China.

Probably not AUS.

How many Allied CV's are there currently?

Wandering Japanese CV TF's indicate there can't be too many

Greetings John III,

After lurking in the forums for years, I just want to thank you for the many hours of pleasure your gung-ho attitude of "never say die" has brought me. I honestly don't think anyone enjoys this game as much as you do!

Fred

Is the IJN CVs headed to Pearl or a refit?
Seems Jap Armor went alittle bit too far south (and discovered my 4e max ranges).
