"To meaningless French Idealism, Liberty, Fraternity and Equality...we answer with German Realism, Infantry, Cavalry and Artillery" -Prince von Bülov, 1870-
Yes, Adak is one of my own advanced bases. I am also using the following as SSTF advanced bases. realizing this is Oct 42.
Merauke, as I have a number of Dutch SS and I want to reach up into Tarakan and Southern PI. I have managed to keep Merauke as a Dutch base and evacuated virtually all the Dutch PA sdns as well as a sizeable number of Mitchel sdns there.
Carnarvon, as I want to reach out to Palembang and other areas. Dutch boats and some S Boats at the moment but moving Gatos etc there to extend the reach and time on station. Exmouth is being developed but not sure the gains are worth the effort.
Townsville to use the S Boats with limited range against the Solomons, Bismarck sea and Manus areas. Thinking about moving this to Milne Bay to extend the range and time on station.
Luganville to service the SOPAC islands. Still thinking about what boats to station there.
Midway for the mid Pacific island chains.
Adak to do the Japanese Home Islands.
Obviously Colombo for the Burmese coast and Northern Malacca straits.
I am thinking about using Chittagong as an advanced sub base as it might give me the extra time on station.
Sub warfare is taking a lot of thought, especially the patrol zones. And of course coming up the wholesale withdrawal from service of a large number of boats to upgrade. I really want the upgrades so I am willing to accept a shortfall in coverage while this happens.
However, I am starting to see a good result as my S Boats, British and Dutch boats are getting me an average of a sinking a day and the Mk 14 are not as bad as I had expected them to be. A number of Mk 14 Combat reports show "launched 2 torpedoes " and then no result, But every now and then I get an I Report of so many ships sunk so I am grateful for small mercies. And yes I know FOW can distort this.
When was this game ever easy? But isn't that why we play it?
