The death of Isolationism! Kaleun vs freeboy

[kaleun]

The waterboy[;)]

[kaleun]

Some b#llsh@t he's trying near Canton

[freeboy]

At least these guys attacked somebody, and maybe we will see some action in and around Johnson[:'(]
Tomorrow those pesky CV that are in the area could be attacked... oh goody..
after taking a beating by Zeta 16 in another game.. of course.. I am loath to overcommitt untill I have a large array of forces.

[kaleun]

"These guys" keep attacking the waterboy. It's kind of an effective strategy though.
Meanwhile, Butuan in the PI islands falls, with no opposition. Naga holds out against repeated attacks. Singapore assault begins, with the defences decreased by a notch.
Also CA Louisville is reported sunk by the Imperial Japanese Naval Intelligence.

[kaleun]

And the assault on Singapore

Next day, only significance, troops land at Cagayan, however the $#@# TF commander only picked up the base force, and only a portion of it, and left the rest in the base nearby. Luckily there were no enemy at Cagayan, so the TF goes now to pick up the rest. And that is why I can't play 2 day turns!
An US subs attacks a TK in near Saigon. The TK suffers heavy damage and heads to Cam Rahn for repairs. Should make it (Fingers cross violently)

[freeboy]

At this rate there will be no jap tankers left in 44.. not that I think the good fortune will continue!

PT sortied out of Johnson to pick up survivors of the dead in the water task force.. just happened to put a fish in that dead tanker!.. no mio for pt's? against ak ap tankers? really boo hoo..
If you really need me to I'll allow these guys to be leashed, they pretty much suck agaisnt anything anymore

I was surprised that these tf's came so close to Johnson Is.. including a group cv???

[kaleun]

They were looking for your cruisers, but had this cloud following them....

[freeboy]

And why can they not find my cruisers.. because they are all on the bottum of the flippinf SEA!!!!! OK, maybew you should p[rescribe some pain meds for me lol

it frightened me to no end seeing them show up.. so I scramblemed most of my fleet just in case you where invaqding Jonhson!

[kaleun]

Not much action today. Not worth an AAR.

[freeboy]

Anybody have a thought on how to retake a Jap held base like Palmyria with fighters and Betties stationed?

[kaleun]

Yes, you need to come with CVs and bring them within Kate range. Also you should only have strike planes on the carriers, or at least only 10% fighters[:D]
