My trap worked perfectly a CV TF tried to sneak near Lunga and run into the KB. My sunk ship are avenged.
CV Enterprise is sunk.She was kind to react to come into torpedo range

Actually I saw this TF, but it was reported as only 2 CA's. I thought it was maybe a fast bombardment so I moved in to intercept. The crew of the PBY that reported it as only 2 CA's has been shot as traitors! Enjoy your victory...your running out of places to invade [:D] I am also kind of irritated I didn't launch a counter-strike. Should have gone down fighting! [:@][:@]

The only possibility is that your CV tried to launch a tiny raid (23 Dive bombers unescorted like your attack on Wake Island) and failed a morale check because I've roughly 2x more fighters to intercept the strike.

In fact I'm running of empty place to invade that's good for both of us. I prefered attacks on base that try to resist the Japanese[;)]
