Andy Mac ...... Revenge of the Allies

Andy Mac · Post by **Andy Mac** » Thu Mar 06, 2008 6:37 pm

I have tried that the CD guns always sink em I will try it again to see if it works.
 
p.s. I offered a CV stacking rule and Pauk said no I have one in my game v PZB.
 
The strikes came from Guam, Pagan and KB all co ordinated I think.
 
Still at work so not seen the replay yet.

p.s I think PZB would kill for that level of co ordinated strikes.....

OK net up is Guam all my B29's and carriers are going after Guam lets see what happens....
 
I am pretty much ignoring KB until Iget my troops ashore...

OK what happened well I pulled my TF's back 1 hex to replenish my AA Ammo and meet up with the 9 CVE's of the replenishment TF.
 
This has been accomplished my ships will all be rearmed and I will divert the damaged TF back towards Wake where it will wait until it loses sys damage and then be used to ferry fighters forward.
 
As you can see I have one tough nut yet to take on 250 1st line fighters over Guam.
 
My Superforts at rabaul rested this turn while the Wake based groups kept Tinian and Saipan suppressed.
 
Emirau falling is good news.
 
I will evaluate tomorrow what happens next but I suspect it will be another turn of manouver I think Ineed to use BB's to take out Guam which means thinking through the best way to take out the inevitable surface covering force.
 
I am going to plan it out and then hit him hard.
 
I expect to need another two days which I can use profitably for other things.
 
The Randolph TF should join the fleet in a day or 2

tough fight already !!

You blunted the KB pretty badly so I think it was a good victory, I don't know if I would have attacked just yet if I was him. He could have waited a bit for the invasion to arrive or at least for the fights over Guam to hurt you more, and then sent a lone CVE with an old DD as a bait to try to have some of your CVTFs react and then battle it out with them (hopefully for him Isolating one of them...).

Anyway it will be tough but I think you have the upper hand in the MArianas now.

Andy Mac · Post by **Andy Mac** » Fri Mar 07, 2008 4:27 pm

Don't want to speak to soon....
 
But I agree I am just nervous about CD Guns and MF's I will try the adjacent hex trick and see if it works.
 
I have plenty of Wildcats at Wake ready to ship forward to flesh out my shattered Hellcat Groups I will need to carefully rotate my TF's back to Wake to rearm and gain more fighters 1 at a time.
 
1st to go back will be the damaged TF and I will rotate them 1 at a time.

I hate to say it but having Rabaul as a B29 base close to the action is really helping me a lot I know I have a massive B29 hammer from 2 axis now so I can hit and hit and hit.

Interesting Guam was a fiasco my bombers didnt fly but my fighters took him down hard.

I launched paras at Satewal its a 0/0 but its convenient for parking a replenishment TF at so I hope to take it.

So far so good losses are heavy n F6F's again but needs must Bennington was hit hard by a lurking Jap carrier on my LOC but I think she will make it.

OK my cripples are pulling out and heading East to Wake
 
I Landed 4,000 AV and a lot of supplies while I wait for disruption to recover I have ordered 1st Aus Corps on a follow up TF to head South West towards Woleai which has a lvl2 AF in range of the Marianas
 
I plan to take the base and then pull my carriers back to rearm while 200 Mustangs Sweep the Marianas
