(A) Fulkerson vs Jap AI vers 7.0

[larryfulkerson]

TF 349 is a group of TK's carrying fuel to Darwin and if and when it lands there it will more than double the fuel Darwin has right now.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's the Pickerel........it's a broken sub on it's way to Singapore. I've got a lot of broken subs and I've been sending them all to Singers.

[larryfulkerson]

That enemy TF we picked up yesterday is still there and it is still headed east. I'm putting a Catalina unit on searching for it
just to keep an eye on it and to track where it's going. I can't imagine the Japs trying to invade the west coast this early in the game
but I guess that's possible. I've got a DD at Midway but she isn't a match for what's out there, probably. Maybe the Cat's will bring us
some better recon in the days ahead.

The Argonaut is on station........now she just needs some unescorted ship traffic. She may have to loiter there for at least a week to see
anything. I'm going to leave her there for as long as the torpedoes last. A Jap ship could come along any day now.

I picked up some radio transmissions from Takao and I'm not sure what to believe from it. Supposedly there's a CVL parked there. Or it
might not be. I donno.

I ended the turn again and here's some fresh combat results:

The Japs are still pumping men ashore at Rabaul:

[larryfulkerson]

And there was a small victory at Kuching:

[larryfulkerson]

And then KXV gets a hit on an AK:

[larryfulkerson]

Evidently I need more planes at Wake:

[larryfulkerson]

And then the B-17 raid on Bubble Drop. No losses but probably no damage either.

[larryfulkerson]

And then there was an attack on Clark Field:

[larryfulkerson]

And then the Japs attacked Georgetown:

[larryfulkerson]

And then there was an attack on shipping at Singapore:

[larryfulkerson]

And then there was an aerial strike on Rabaul:

[larryfulkerson]

And then the Japs captured Alor Star:

[larryfulkerson]

And then a bunch of stuff happened in China, which I'm skipping, and then the Japs and I both did bombardment attacks at Rabaul:

EDIT: I just now noticed that the AI has put the AF unit in with the invaders rather than in a separate trip. I can't imagine me doing that.
Putting the AF dudes at risk like that is bound to get some of them hurt. And they ( the AF dudes ) are relatively rare so I'm not sure
that's a good idea.

Nice AAR -

Very nice SCTF action for you this early. The A.I. is not very good, like we commented on in the e-mails.

I'd be cautious about putting more planes on Wake, just make sure there are enough AF engineers and supply to keep your fighters flying since he has no way to escort the bombers. Attrition works!

Slept most of yesterday and was up today 3-6am & got TommyG's turn done and out the door. I feel better but not good - yet.

Also I'm waiting on a turn from you. . . [;)][;)][;)]

Why thank you very much. I'm surprised to see you posting so early. Last I heard you were feeling under the weather and were
going back to bed. Good to hear that you're doing better.

Yeah, you're right about that. I'm thinking that I might have some B-17's hitting the home islands in about a year and a half at this
rate. Not much of a challenge so far. But I'm not complaining.

AF DUDES and supply, roger that. Working on it already.

Well, look at the bright side: you're still on the right side of the grass.

I emailed my moves at 09:18 Tucson Az time this morning and then launched into more publishing of AAR stuff here without a
significant lapse in time. Lemme know if my email moushed again. I can always re-send.
