but that's where it ended. Andy's carrier turned north instead of south and got me good. Weather in the morning phase didn't allow him to strike but in the afternoon phase thing's turned for the worse IDK but my taskforces didn't arrive in the same hex when follow was on so weather saved my main task force but didn't save this one if they followed them both I could have gotten away with a good nasty strike but nope sadly not.

16 8cm/40 t88 AA,
24 8cm/40 t88 DP,
8 12cm/45 10YT DP,
2 40mm T91
Now, most bases won't have the DP guns but almost every base has around 100 12cm/56's it's too late to go back on one of my variants but it makes the bombing war quite brutal on Andy.

but next turn might be interesting American carriers are at Townsville and there are lots of ships with air cover so wit sweeps plus escorts I've moved into several bases to possibly sink some ships.
