A Bridge too far

Post by Ike99 »

I didn´t know you had moved Montgomery to the Pacific.

This is a bridge too far for Bigred.

Good move Ike with the hidden IJA on the trail.  I still think it is a mistake to let me capure those bases.  Now we will see some air battle!!!  You better bring the kitchen sink.

Will 30,000+ Japanese in Nadzab in 3 turns do?

Bigred places 100 or so Allied aircraft in Nadzab, with any luck he´ll place the whole Allied airforce there. C47´s are being shredded and the airfields closed.

I think that describes what is going on well.

[:D][:D][:D]

I suppose Bigred was hoping to cut the Madang-Lae supply route.

I am really impressed w/ this trap.  So much that I need time to think about my next move.[&o]
GD ike, you are good player.  You need to rename yourself "sneeky b______d".  I apologize if anyone takes offense to my language.


Ike, dont forget to mention that my LBA out of nazib just sank 2 mine layers.  Was the Ishcooda a 150 layer?  Might be worth the cost. Note the photo is actual Nazib airdrop w/ 503inf.

4-22-43:  The storyline remains the same.  the convoy system is laid bare as the IJN and IJ LBA commit to a major effort over NG.  And the result is...

I hope you continue to play in an adverse situation.

I´m not in a adverse situation, you are..you just don´t know it yet. Your bombings are not hurting me. My supplies grow, I easily put more supplies on than you can bomb off. Not to mention the 10 months of stockpiling supplies. You will not bomb me out of supplies.

The only thing you have is invasion to cut my points. We´ll see how that goes for you.

RE: Reactions

4-24-43:  The IJN has split his KB using a CVL screen north of Rabaul and the main KB toward Rabaul south of Kavieg.  My view if this fleet manover was a light screen to protect his heavies until they refuel.  I thought the KB was headed to Rabaul and ordered a 200 plane port strike.  Instead the KB moved to Buka for a port call (range 17) from Dobadua and I am sure has refueled.  The IJN KB move to Buka has placed the KB in a strategic position to be able to go east or west from a safe position.  Buka is out of range of all escort land based air except Rossel.
Both Ike and I are on vacation and are operating from laptops.
