HALSEY DEFECTS

[ADM Halsey]

The first Battle of Midway finds the American carrier Hornet out numbered 5 to 1. Hornet got off the first strike with over 30 dive-bombers with about 19 Wildcat leading the way. They ran into the CAP of 64 Zeros, and in the end 1 dive-bomber was able to get through and attack the Soryu but missed. The IJN carrier force launched over 100 torpedo bombers with Zero escort and ran into 6 Wildcats on CAP. The Hornet took 7 torpedo hits and disappeared beneath the waves.

[kaleun]

We regret to inform that two allied carriers, Lexington and Hornet have been lost at sea to superior Japanese air forces. The Department of the navy reports two enemy carriers damaged in an air battle near Canton Island, by aircraft from USS Lexington.
In an unrelated piece of news, Japanese forces have been finally cleared off from Canton Island which has been declared secure. An enemy carrier force still lurks near the island, but is expected to withdraw due to lack of fuel

[kaleun]

Another good day for the Japanese Navy[8|]

This are the enemy dispositions around Canton Is. We assume he is getting ready to try his luck raiding Palmyra

[kaleun]

Another allied carrier is lost. Yorktown is lost near howards Island, after successfully attacking and sinking (we believe) two enemy escort carriers. The enemy main carrier force feinted towards Palmyra, but turned back on itself during the night and appeared within range of Yorktown which had made a high speed run from Suva to attack the withdrawing escort carriers. The Kate torpedoes made short work of the gallant ship.
Now only Enterprise, in drydock remains to oppose the designs of the evil Halsey-san and his minions

Now you know why the Allies don't fart around with KB! CAP model is brutal. Feel sorry for ya Kaleun![:(]

[ADavidB]

Now you know why the Allies don't fart around with KB! CAP model is brutal. Feel sorry for ya Kaleun

That's why I stay out of the line of fire until my ships have a chance of hitting back. It's one thing to have your CVs sitting at anchor during most of 1942 while the Japanese run rampant. It's another thing to have your CVs sitting at the bottom of the Pacific during most of 1942 while the Japanese can run anywhere they want without fear...

But, if you save your CVs, you lose 4 Essex class anyway! [8|] Can't get around this frustrating design regardless.[8D]

[veji1]

my God, you guys should take a break from the game and come back fresn ( althoughi guess ADavidB did ). Of course throwing the CVs piecemeal to the KB for her to chew is suicidal, but docking them in port for all 42 is just plain.... boring !!

What's the fun if the japs don't see a single US CV till 43, and then the US don't see any jap CV for the rest of the war ?

4 Us CV used wisely while KB or part of KB is spotted somewhere can be deadly efficient and allow the allies to take a foothold in the Gilberts for example very early...

I don't mean to be rude and I understand from my feeble experience that my record doesn't compare to those of Ron and ADavidB, but for me this game is still a game, and is time consuming enough for it not to be boring as well...

Sorry for you Kaleun, but this will make for a great battle latter in the war..

[ADM Halsey]

I have another game going where 2 American carriers ran into the Japanese carrier force. I lost the Lexington and Enterprise but put 2 to 3 Japanese carriers out of action for a while. They lost the bulk of there good pilots during that battle since the Zeros did not escort the bombers. I was where you are Pedro before but you can come back from this.

Good Luck!

Yep, because you will at least get those missing Essexes. It is tough though.

At least I still have Enterprise. In my game with warspite I managed to lose them all, for only Kaga.

Pace of the game will be slow for a while, due to unavoidable real life intrusions.
Also (see pic) the transports still refuse to load troops both at Middle East and Aden. The will load supplies, but I have gobs of sorely needed troops sitting at both ports twiddling their thumbs. I don't care about the TF that got stuck, that can be avoided by sailing all TFs to Karachi first. despite changing the Pwhex file, this thing won't load.

Post your troop details (HQs) Kaleun. Let's see what is going on. Why can't I see your base icons etc?

[kaleun]

The base icons at the extreme edges of the board are not always visible unless I move the map slightly. I'll demostrate the next turn.
I'll also post the HQs when the next turn comes around.
Halsey has offered a restart, but I'd like to see if we can fix this.
