FYI, Walter has a business trip coming up Friday returning the following week on Saturday. Here is forecast a heavy winter storm heaviest on Thursday. I doubt we will even see the pre-invasion battles before he returns.

Why do you assume a group of subs traveling together is on a mining mission?

I often collect 3-5 subs as a group and send them out together, and from the destination then break them down into individual patrols.

Walter uses 2 and even 3 sub TF's, but I figured 5 was too much for patrol. Didn't think about the break 'em down angle.

How far out do you have search and/or ASW flying off the flat tops? Fortuitous not to have had them spot on that surface force. I usually
run ASW with TBDs but lately have curtailed it in favor of stealth. One of my favorite parts of the game, .....the approach. To bad the CATS
(I assume) could not give you a heading.

Full search. There is a little gap in the PBY coverage not terribly far to the west of them. Besides, if there is an IJN carrier sortie I did not detect I don't want strikes hobbled by lack of search, so I'll just have to put up with the possible contacts with IJN subs giving away the fleet's position.

You AFBs are so bold with your advances in 1942!

Word of warning, I almost always prep divisions for counter invasions of the Pacific Islands. Additionally, Some of these islands are the absolute best places to bring off an unexpected CV clash speaking as a JFB. I have purposefully restricted naval search to only spot the invasion one day away and then pounced.

Finally, if the Japanese have been paying attention to their sigint, they probably knew something is coming.

So, my question to you is given the risk...steaming all those ships outside of land based search, why do it now? Why not wait at least until the KB is spotted somewhere else? I don't think you are in trouble VP wise.

You are pretty tight lipped, and this might be in conjunction with some other offensive...but still, this kind of move is something I, as a JFB, lives for.

Good luck and prove me wrong![:)]

You do remember my aborted run in summer '42? What would you have called that?! [:D]

Word of warning, I almost always prep divisions for counter invasions of the Pacific Islands. Additionally, Some of these islands are the absolute best places to bring off an unexpected CV clash speaking as a JFB. I have purposefully restricted naval search to only spot the invasion one day away and then pounced.
Planning the forces involved plus remaining naval/air forces would withstand counter invasions.

Any CV clash would be both expected and desired.

Finally, if the Japanese have been paying attention to their sigint, they probably knew something is coming.
For that, the aborted run, and just good analysis Walter probably does know. I only need tactical surprise.

So, my question to you is given the risk...steaming all those ships outside of land based search, why do it now? Why not wait at least until the KB is spotted somewhere else? I don't think you are in trouble VP wise.
VP situation has improved. China situation has worsened (which will impact the whole VP situation).

The KB will *not* be spotted somewhere else.

Strategic intent to trade as much carnage as possible.

You are pretty tight lipped, and this might be in conjunction with some other offensive...but still, this kind of move is something I, as a JFB, lives for.
Not meaning to be tight-lipped. I think I was pretty open about the plan, but lots of time has passed both RL and game time since laying it all out. I made the aborted run back in summer '42, and the only modification since then has been ship upgrades and adding in whatever ships I could. The delay was brought on by AP withdrawals, since made up (well enough at least) and those upgrades which it only made sense to do as the IJN got stronger.

Good luck and prove me wrong![:)]
Oh, great, now you tell me! [:D]

I thought it might be one reason...well, if he loses them he will always get more, and really without impacting the Allied timetable too much. He would need to lose like three in row before it really hurts.
