Changshas southern flank is nearly secured. 50 fighters have been transferred in to give spriors bombers a nice surprise.

CLAA San Diego has arrived at Pearl and joined the screen of Enterprise. Enterprise has taken on 16 SBDs, bringing her total to 91 planes.

Wow - very nice work.

A sortie by that kind of carrier force & bombardment of his troops (along with a division or so of reinforcements) should be enough to put the nail in that coffin. Should be great practice for your airgroups as well.

Wow - very nice work.

A sortie by that kind of carrier force & bombardment of his troops (along with a division or so of reinforcements) should be enough to put the nail in that coffin. Should be great practice for your airgroups as well.

thanks paullus, and my apologies i JUST noticed your comment.

im hoping to nail KB before it gets any stronger, but i assume in any engagement that id lose at least 2 carriers and a couple BBs and maybe 200 planes, but then, i can afford losses, sprior cant

[marky]

it looks as if the fall of Wake is inevitable. Sprior is slowly wearing Wake down and supplies are running low.

the options are limited:

1. Engage KB and resupply Wake
2. Let Wake fall


i have 150 ships and over 440 planes to engage the KB with. it is late June 42. 11 battleships are also ready including North Carolina.

Wasp arrives in less than 3 weeks but Wake doesnt have that long.

its now either engage KB or lose Wake.

[paullus99]

Basically, you've got him right where you want him. Even if you do an even exchange on carriers - you'll come out ahead in the long run. You can cripple him with a full-blooded thrust right now, especially if you can swarm him with so many targets.

[marky]

indeed. its time for the pacific fleet to hit back then

[marky]

All available combat ships have been ordered to sail to engage the KB.

all submarines in the area will engage.
