Port Attack or Naval Attack?

[treespider]

In my game with Toast (Toast you'll see this when you get your turn later tonight)...

For the past several turns my Ops reports have indicated a sizable force of cruisers at Canton. I assume possibly a CV is included based on earliuer observations of CV tF where initial intell indicates CA's. I therefore devise a plan to destroy it. I carefully positioned KB in near to Canton Island. Everything is set. TB's and Db's set on Naval Attack.

Today I finally arrive at the launch site and in the AM KB sends 39 Zero's to Canton with no result. In the PM the weather is awful at both sites. Now he knows there is something out there and I've blown my oppurtunity.

Let me guess....even if ships are in a TF if they are docked a/c have to be set for Port Attack?

The God of Weather Dice Rolls is certainly not in my camp. This is the third or fourth turn in a row in seperate games where my CV TF's have been impacted by the weather.

If they're in a TF it's naval attack you want.
If they are disbanded in port, it's the port attack to flush them out.[:D]

The second option is naval attack with port attack as a secondary.

[DuckofTindalos]

Wouldn't that be the THIRD option, Halsey?[;)]

If you're not doing this already, you can help him[TGOWDR] be a little more in your camp by using the "3" key when entering your orders. This will show you the whether forecast hex by hex ... I live ( and die ) by this forecast ! I don't know if it is 100% accurate ( hope not ) but it seems to be pretty close.

My method seems to work also. I sacrifice a sheep. I used to use virgins, but I ran out.

Back in the day before bigtime computer gaming...when I used to take up half my basement with board/paper map wargames... I would just throw my dice as hard as I could at the nearest available wall. I suppose I could do it with my cpu but the cost ratio just doesn't seem to be the same.

Sorry. Only on my second pot of coffeee today.[:D]

[Toast]

Well, if it is any consolation, there were no CV's in the ft, just CA's and old DD/s covering a resupply and reinforcement tf. The TF was just to make sure that there was no repeat of your Pago Pago raid.

On the other hand, I had no idea your CV's were nearby so you definitely lost the element of surprise.

I think after your good luck catching the Enterprise on the second turn, I think the gods of war are shiftng into my favor. At least temporarily.

Virgins would work great, but I havnt met one yet and I am older than I would like to admit

[tsimmonds]

Ha! I knew bunches of them, but that was when I was 9 years old. Only ever "encountered" one, though.

[treespider]

I was a virgin once...I think.

Virgin sheep?

[DuckofTindalos]

Virgins seem to be harder and harder to find these days. I blame the deterioration of society's values. My sacrificial altar hasn't been used in years...

Oh, and you're supposed to sacrifice GOATS, not sheep. Sheesh! Amateurs...

Virgin sheep?

They count double
