No Fear, a Scen 17 AAR

[Sergeant]

Veer,
Thanks for the information about surface battles. Actually I do hold Basiliki Isl., with one 4" gun on it that I barrowed from somewhere. [8|]
But he must have figued out what I was doing - because instead of coming back with his raiding party - he sent a carrier group just to within range and struck a heavy blow to my surface group. Half the group is now running away. And based on your message about ending the turn in same hex - I thought it would occur if they simply passed through one another - I now fear the remaining half is in danger because it has given chase in hopes of catching him on surface. 3 of Yamato's gun mounts are gone but he still has the 14" guns.
My opponent is a Wizard... He seems to counter my every move in a way that leaves me holding short end of the stick!
I got the entire Luganville port surrounded by subs & still his fleet manages to get in & out without being fired on. [:(]
If I don't start scoring some hits on him soon - I may decide to surrender after all. [&o]
Oh well... such is the joy of playing against a live opponent instead of the AI. This is what I couldn't wait to do - I guess I better take my hits & press on, right? [8D]

Well? Did you win or lose scenario 17 ???
I just started #17 as Allied player against my preveous opponent. Any strategy suggestions, Caution statements, or Hints?
We're just going into day 5 & I bagged one of his minelayers snooping around Woodlark. Am trying to isolate the island to keep it from being reinforced.
His Carrier group is already at Rabaul refueling or maybe just waiting for my counter invasion force. I have a feeling this scenario is going to get very vicious very early on...
