greys carriers are moving southwest.

this will work to my advantage.

Spruances 3 carriers will rendevous with Mitscher tomorrow, and engage greys carriers.

i dont think grey realizes how close they really are. either he doesnt, or he knows, and thinks he can beat em.

grey is sailing right into a trap, an unintentional trap, but a trap regardless.

an epic battle is about to be joined...

Ive moved bombers to Luganville, and in keeping with our agreement, no 4Es below 15000. the 2Es are of course lower. maybe theyll get lucky.


Maybe his carriers are a distraction for the ships heading down the Slot.

oh well, the die is cast.

grey escaped the clutches of Spruance and Mitscher

hes off northwest of guadalcanal, way northwest.

so it was a distraction

grrr.....

slippery gangster. for this i shall exact a thousand fold revenge [:D]

Greys iboats and ROboats (ROboats, hah) are getting on my nerves. thus im going to wage an all out campaign to blow them out of the water. every SBD and TBF of the carrier air wings are now on ASW patrol, as well as the floatplanes of the escorts.

several hits have been made, and RO-65 was sent to Davy Jones Locker

grey is apparently sending a convoy to Buna to reinforce the garrison. thus all available aircraft have been ordered to attack, and im considering sending the carriers that way, but theyve been at sea for quiiiite a while, and theyre getting worn out.
