Never Thought I'd Start Another One - tc464 (A) vs. Mike (J)

For the second day in a row, the bombers didn't fly. The bombardment destroyed 24 squads.

I've got to find my link to Herb's secret sauce that he shared in one of his AAR's ... to paraphrase: he follows these rules and he has NEVER had an air attack not launch correctly ... not in all of his many AAR turns ...

I do follow them, and while I'm not quite as perfect as he is, air attacks not flying are rare events strictly related to weather over target ... there are a lot of PP's involved to do this though ...

Wow did not know that was even possible would love to see this as well.

Tanaka,

I've posted a link before, I think in my aborted AAR, and in some other AAR's ... and of course it is in Herb's AAR that he originally wrote ... having said that, I will look for it again ...

Long post of his, but my all time favorite line is this:

"This, I confidently say, after 4 years of war, works."

I wish I could state that about anything that I have done!

Very interesting thanks!

This is how I do it.

1/ I spend vast amounts of PP on making sure that squadrons are assigned to air HQ's in range
2/ I try to never, ever overstack a field
3/ for a big day like todays effort:
I first stand down every group in the game
Then, in the order I want planes to fly, I issue the orders, ie Ogowas' eagles to sweep, then the bombers , I select a bomber group, select its fighter group, always from the same field. I always start closest to the target, working out in range.

If groups are over 10 fatigue, they are not selected!

If groups are under 80 moral, they are not selected!

This, I confidently say, after 4 years of war, works.
