He's been getting very busy- it's been a week or more for him to turn around most of the turns from our game as well. Also the better the turn runs for the Allies the longer it takes him to do his part. [:D]

yep, I guess he is still thinking about those 7 jap CVLs I just sank...

I had a dream attack this turn by the Indian para units against the IJA 52nd Mixed BDE caught alone in target hex while in strat mode. 10-1 troop kill ratio and the IJN retreated into another hex!!!.

You know, a few years after the war Hollywood would make The Battle for Pearl Harbor about the heroes on Hawaii and John Wayne as a commander who refuses to surrender but fights to the last

And in 2001 Pearl Harbor starring Ben Affleck would come out were he is on a supersub that takes care of the entire KB[:D]

The defense of Hawaii would be put in the American mytology like the Alamo

Wow nice result

A look at sunk IJN CVs. Looks like over half the Jap CV fleet has been sunk. I suspect FatR has lost his ability to stand up to the allied CV fleets.

After last CV battle at Bangkok FatR made another mistake and retreated his CVs into Bangkok port. (edit- the AI retreated the CVs into port) This is a summation of total reported hits on ships in port second day of this turn. I note the weather was partly cloudy instead of rain. 0 moon.

I received no reported hits on first night of turn.

Japanese Ships
CV Junyo, Bomb hits 2, heavy fires, heavy damage
CVE Chuyo, Bomb hits 1, heavy fires, heavy damage
CV Hiyo, Bomb hits 2, heavy fires, heavy damage
xAP Kasado Maru, Bomb hits 1
CVE Chuyo, Bomb hits 1, heavy fires, heavy damage
CVE Chuyo, Bomb hits 2, on fire, heavy damage

Made a shock attack at Truk...

Well I honored FatR and he just doesn't seem to care...He tried to sink his namesake...[:D]

That might not have been an action ordered by FatR but the game reassigning a port due to ?damage? Without conjecture I have experienced recently TF's reassigning their home port after an engagement where ships from the TF are sunk/badly damaged ... I have no clue what algorithm causes this behavior but I have observed it ...

yes, I heard of this also in one of the beta upgrades. FatR has mentioned to me in private email aggravation on this issue in the past several days.. Seems to be a dangerous move to move CVs close to a friendly port w/in range of enemy LBA. It could happen to me later.

Exactly! One has to be very very careful about engaging in air/naval battles where the enemy can ambush forces suddenly returning to port . especially if that port has no flak protection because the ships flak seems to be borked in port? Now if lots of flak exists at the port .. it could be interesting .. but it seems without flak/CAP defense .. it is a very good thing to force the algorithm to return the TF to a local port and then smash them with a port attack ...

This is my experience too. Ship flak doesn´t fire when disbanded in port but whatever AA in the base will of course.
