This next shot shows two cv groups attacking, hum guess where he will invade next?

[freeboy]

The cv's make such a difference, but if he isn't too carefall he will take some lba hits...
My carriers are still trying to make it to the real action... no rush I guess.

I found a new use for BB's, the old slow ones.. very tough oilers, they carry alot of fuel and can replenish fleets, are really hard to sink and can shot back[:D]

Soon Rabaul will get some help, or not, depending on how well we do other places
Chini remains slow, Maly too... ok almost Jan 41


What do I do if the game requests my BB's British??

[freeboy]

Well, JAn is fast approaching and I dread taking a huge pp hit for a bb, Hornet comes out of trials soon, and new better planes are being shipped even now... How much can you hate the Buffolo? "this much" pix of a mountain in Colorado!

My fleets need fuel, which I ignorantly have left behind... lots still in the DEI, so my tankers are trying to bring it forward, or backward depending on if you are Dutch or not..[:-]

K has wisely pulled his carriers back under cover of LBA, I still contro Philipines and Maly, but Burma looks really bad, he snuck a Division behind me will I was sleeping.. oops and now Moulmein is cut off... those troops have all writen loved ones saying there last goodbyes. China is slow, no surprise. Wake remains the last outpost to the west for the pac fleet... Midway is being reinforced and will be a launching pad in 43 for the push into the home waters...
I would love to see K run out of fuel, he has enough now with his reserves and I haven't seen him racing his BB's around... after last week they vanished back to Truk ?? I hope...
But if he does not take more in DEI he is royaly screwed... but he still has a good four months and this is a starter / learner game for each of us and will not be too hard for either to restart if needed by future patches.

[kaleun]

[:(]After several episodes of RLI (Real life interference) this game was aborted by mutual consent.
We WILL have a rematch after the next patch. (Perhaps slightly different home rules)
[:D]

[freeboy]

I think we should leave the fleats in port on t1 forhe us, let the subs and Brits ourt west go free, no air order at pearl, others? My hope is to see a patch yesterday....

[kaleun]

How about the historic turn 1 with the variable start setting? That one may be cool.[8D]
