Now that you have some time, can you show us a screenshot of one of your Vanguards? Screens of some of your naval reinforcement lists (CVs, CVLs, BBs, etc.) would be interesting as well.

Cheers,
CB

Two lists for now.

My CVLs are normal a scenario 2.

Thanks, Nomad. I went back to the beginning of your AAR to fill in some blanks in my knowledge. I noticed you have 10 Essexes coming in without air groups or aircraft. Do you expect VF-17 and other land-based USN, as well as USMC, units to fill those decks?

Cheers,
CB

That is a yes, and I will soon be actively seeking CV-CV combat, hopefully to exchange CV losses. If not, then I will have
to use what I can.

As a note, Xargun and I agreed to a modification of the data to allow all of his and my CV squadrons to resize as of Dec 7, 1941.

April 10, 1942

not much, some bombing at Bataan and Wenchow.

It always hurts to lose a carrier, but losing one to a submarine seems to hurt more, Pretty good job by an old S-Boat.

Nice shooting,
T Rav

April 11, 1942

Even though it was a CVL and not a CV, everything helps.

Xargun did a DA at Wenchow, he is wearing them down.

He took Bandoeng, but took some losses doing it

I can see movement into Siangtan. The mouseover shows 7 units. I know that the 6th division and the 1st Mortar Battalion are among them.
I have 878 Assault Strength in Siangtan. I have 1300 more on the move and an ART unit with 16 x 105mm howitzers. I hope it is enough.

Not much. Pantar and Waingapoe fall.
