In one word bollocks!!!!

My habit of using large convoys came back to bite me Pauk crucified a convoy fortunately it was just supplies and fuel but its a blow no mistake.

2 aspects of this

1. My Fleet has just refitted and is not fit for combat for a while so this is bad.
2. He is getting bolder this is bad
3. Those supplies were important this is bad

Overall a BAD day for the Allies

This could be a start of a commerce campaign and will make me more carefull in future all of which are good objectives.

I can replace the AK's and TK's but my experience of 43 44 as the allies is that every AK is valuable.

To keep up a rolling campaign and keep the Allied air machine supplied eats supplies.

OUCH!!!

Another case in point of why I haven't gotten into the practice of large convoys - no more than 5 TK's or AK's per TF. My escorts are used for AP (troops) mainly. I will have to modify my approach if things go badly for me.

Look on the bright side. You know where his carriers are right now.[:D]

Yup I know where they are but with 50+ USN DD's at 15 sys because of the 10/42 upgrades not much I can do about it he timed it perfectly.

I have been pretty carefull not to overload my convoys but this one slipped through and was a mistake and must have slipped through the net.

Doh !!!

Andy

Not much to say about the last few days except China is going to hell in a handbasket.

He is flanking me from the north

1st P38 Sqn activated at Tarawa

Andy

2nd P38 Sqn activated Ledo for those who saty the allies have to many 4E bombers I did a little count of my active sqns in this game

USAAF ONLY

A20 9 Sqns
B17 7 Sqns
B24 8 Sqns
B26 9 Sqns
B25 27 Sqns

The B25 is the real workhorse of the USAAF with dammed near 45% of my total bombing force in this medium bomber but at present 45 out 60 sqns are in 2E types.

Now this will change over time as I will be re equipping the A20, B26 and probably B17 Sqns increasing the proportion of 4E to about 40% I will probably aim to re quip A20's to B26's and some to B24D's with an eventual goal of phasing out A20 then B17's

Quiet few turns not much happening I now have 3 sqns of P38's and trhe US Pacific Fleet is nearly all repaired.

Almost time to throw the dice.

I would like to attack in the Gilberts/Marshalls and capture a few bases under cover of the USN at the same time I am seriously considering an attack on PM supported by the RN Pacific Fleet.

At present I am demonstrating towards Darwin while my Armour rolls up the railway track towards Perth.

I will bring down AK's from India to resupply my spearhead as they are far beyond the effective railhead.

It is likely that this unloading of supplies will need to be covered by the RN TF and a bombardment TF will be required to close the AF.

If I time it right the RN can close Perth and retire just as the USN attacks in the Gilberts.

Andy

Quiet few turns not much happening it all moves forward

Its really quiet again I am just not willing to engage at moment.

Nothing critical is threatened I have good position in Marshalls there is just no incentive to attack early.

Its boring for Pauk but I have zero reason to take risks at moment

More of the same I am preparing a small operation against Narau Island 11th RCT and 112th Cav Regt are prepped and loading to go !!!

About 10 days till my forces land

This will be my 1st real assault as opposed to FT or Para assaults

Andy

I think Pauk has been expecting me to attack ....

OK thats a tad weird why on earth would I attack in mid 42 ----weird

October Refits are complete.
 
RN Pacific Fleet moves to support the attack on Perth
 
USN Pacific Fleet is going to remain at Pearl to cover West Coast convoys for a while.
 
Pauk seems to think I should be attacking him but I can see no need to do so.
 
Andy

OK last night the RN Pacific Fleet reinforced by USS Saratoga and USS California/Colorado a toltal of 4 Fleet Carriers, 1 Light Carrier, 7 Battleships, 1 Battle Cruiser and over 50 other ships set sail for the advanced striking base of Adeilade where fuel has been stockpiled.
 
The fleets goal is to close the AF at Perth for the duration of the campaign
 
The Ground Units are approaching the N/S junction with armoured spearheads 300 miles away.
 
The Armies intention is to send 1 reinforced Bde north to provide Rear Area Security for the strike force and prevent the force being bottled up in the south.
 
At the same point the bulk of 1st Aus Corps will move south to Perth by Land taking on supplies accross the beach 240 miles north of Perth.
 
For the duration of this unloading the AF will be suppressed by NGS and Bomber strikes from the Carriers
