with 7 kates or with 3 DD?[:D]
you choose
I'm surprised RN BB force did not try to attack me at night - after combat and refuelling my movement radius was 1 hex and Surface TF could defend well against few kates
Sneer vs Raver , Banzaiiii!!!!

RE: 2nd carrier battle!
cap was set to 100% as I feared enemy carriers and had no idea how 19 kates would hurt 4 US CV
3 days ago half of zeros was on naval attack as I pointed burning ship is better spotted by my surface tf at night
can't say this game is boring

RE: 2nd carrier battle!
can't say this game is boring
I second that statement! We now have the interesting situation that the Allies have a force to be feared at night, just the opposite of what usually happens in early '42. (And British torpedoes work much better than American ones. . .)
Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?

RE: 2nd carrier battle!
transports not warships were attacked by zeros
As far as warships are concerned or what was left from RN we will see if Raver use them offensively.
till now no naval counterattack has been successful
I don't treat RN as a threat. it is too small at this moment - almost all allied losses are Dutch + commonwealth
US Pacific fleet has enough power to mess a bit.
RN stays up to 2 slow BB + 2-3 cruisers and less than 5 DD.
nothing to be worried about esecially Dutch fleet doesn't exist and UK carriers are now out of action again so there is no mobile air cover.
Contrary lot of BBs cruisers and CV cover is ready for action in central Pacific.
10 BBs can tear apart any single atoll
but untill KB is in good shape it will be too risky for Raver

I'll put these two little buggers in port to fix up the holes that Sneer has so rudely put into them and dare say that they shall be back at sea in 3 to 4 months time.

RE: 2nd carrier battle!
ORIGINAL: Raverdave
I must say that I have always found that the RN CVs punch well above their weight.........yes they are light on aircraft (and good ones at that) but come late'42 with some Wildcats inplace of Fulmars the RN CVs can be a rather interesting little force. I once again state that they are usless in the Bay of Bengal (lack of suitable targets) and given some sea room they can be a force in their own right.
I'll put these two little buggers in port to fix up the holes that Sneer has so rudely put into them and dare say that they shall be back at sea in 3 to 4 months time.
I agree with that - keep em away from massed Betties and they are effective shipkillers.
Swordfish are actually pretty good, better than Devastators IMHO.
RE: 2nd carrier battle!
Well we have had two CV battles and although I have come out second best, it is second best with my CVs still floating and underway. [:)]
Never argue with an idiot, he will only drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
aleutian activity
Looks like Raver builds up Aleutian region
I decided I can't commit adequate forces to the region so he is relatively safe there
The rule of mutually cooperating airfields favours allies strongly in that region as well as dedicated to that area troops
Let it be so
I'll fortify Kurile Isl and put fighter force to north Japan.
should be enough at least till 43

RE: CV vs. CV in 1942
Quiet turn today
end of March is close
I'll provide map and statistics during weekend
I found convoy at Amchitka and asw group consistiong of old US DD
kiska has airfield in use
northern area become active as Raver is building up
Maybe Raver's intelligence found info about preparing for Russia ???
it is old story now as I was thinking about this in early Feb with troops from Manila- they went to East India so plan "Red" was aborted
attacking russia now would be a grave mistake - instead I'm slowly buying out troops and reinforcing china army - if I attack russia now I would throw away all I made on chinase front till now and enemy would airlift supply + attack my industry - japan has not enough a/c now to firght formidable soviet air force- it is crazy that in this time russian reinforcement are so high - one would expect that the more is Japan involved in pacific and india the more troops would be grabbed to use against Hitler
However Raver can still be in fear as half of southern army is hidden from him and I want to carry out a small operation soon
I hate to say so but expansion time is going to the end
I can take new caledonia and most of south pacific now but KB is only one to keep them safe and supplied
few words about China - India reports and fleet operations moved it to second place
Burma road is closed
northern supply sources are cut off
results of my bombing campaign
damaged/working
oil centers
Sian 18/7
Chungking 63/12
resource centers
Wuchow 231/69
Sian 55/5
Chungking 254/46
Kunming 156/144
Chengtu 26/274
totals working
oil 19
resource 538
HI will stop as soon as oil reserves will end - still sth like 300-400 in Chinase hands
I think China is in negative supply now and when oil reserves finish it will be extremaly difficult
With east india taken there is no way to airlift supply to china so they are on their own.
still numbers are important and it will take long time but China is mine - it is a matter of time
I'm ready for any counterattack Raver can make - forts are high - units at 100% strenght and prepped
so nothing Raver really can do
in a few days I'll get 3 INF DIV in China and with 30k manpower and similar armament I'll get them mostly completed and this will offer me strong reserve formation.
I bought out also few artillery units from Kwantung Army to make my firepower advantage even higher / together with eng units to raise forts in most important bases.
If Raver moves offensively in China ( i guess he is prepped defensively) it will make things even faster.
My idea is to take area that will be immune to strategic bombing and finish unfortunate "chinase incident"
if there will be counterattack I will get lot of experiance and all china army will soon be "crack"
if not casualties will be extremaly low

end of March is close
I'll provide map and statistics during weekend
I found convoy at Amchitka and asw group consistiong of old US DD
kiska has airfield in use
northern area become active as Raver is building up
Maybe Raver's intelligence found info about preparing for Russia ???
it is old story now as I was thinking about this in early Feb with troops from Manila- they went to East India so plan "Red" was aborted
attacking russia now would be a grave mistake - instead I'm slowly buying out troops and reinforcing china army - if I attack russia now I would throw away all I made on chinase front till now and enemy would airlift supply + attack my industry - japan has not enough a/c now to firght formidable soviet air force- it is crazy that in this time russian reinforcement are so high - one would expect that the more is Japan involved in pacific and india the more troops would be grabbed to use against Hitler
However Raver can still be in fear as half of southern army is hidden from him and I want to carry out a small operation soon
I hate to say so but expansion time is going to the end
I can take new caledonia and most of south pacific now but KB is only one to keep them safe and supplied
few words about China - India reports and fleet operations moved it to second place
Burma road is closed
northern supply sources are cut off
results of my bombing campaign
damaged/working
oil centers
Sian 18/7
Chungking 63/12
resource centers
Wuchow 231/69
Sian 55/5
Chungking 254/46
Kunming 156/144
Chengtu 26/274
totals working
oil 19
resource 538
HI will stop as soon as oil reserves will end - still sth like 300-400 in Chinase hands
I think China is in negative supply now and when oil reserves finish it will be extremaly difficult
With east india taken there is no way to airlift supply to china so they are on their own.
still numbers are important and it will take long time but China is mine - it is a matter of time
I'm ready for any counterattack Raver can make - forts are high - units at 100% strenght and prepped
so nothing Raver really can do
in a few days I'll get 3 INF DIV in China and with 30k manpower and similar armament I'll get them mostly completed and this will offer me strong reserve formation.
I bought out also few artillery units from Kwantung Army to make my firepower advantage even higher / together with eng units to raise forts in most important bases.
If Raver moves offensively in China ( i guess he is prepped defensively) it will make things even faster.
My idea is to take area that will be immune to strategic bombing and finish unfortunate "chinase incident"
if there will be counterattack I will get lot of experiance and all china army will soon be "crack"
if not casualties will be extremaly low
