RE: Too much Iron in my Diet - Mundy vs KenchiSulla

Well, a rousing set of actions nonetheless. Maybe there should have been some Baltimore-class CA's embedded with the carriers?
What's your Strategy?

That seems rather arbitrary.
Maybe we can persuade Michael to always number SCTFs with single digit numbers.
It was sort of a dilemma. I was assuming the surface group I formed would head off any of his.

Mundy: I got around the accessibility issue I was having at Pearl, not being able to access my carriers and battleships. I mad three 100 strong transports TFs and packed them with all the crap ships that were there, including all the CVEs and such. Once I knocked down the numbers disbanded at that port, my big ships were suddenly accessible again. I guess you can have problems overstacking ships at a port.
