No recon planes are only set on a range of 5 going into this turn. the one unknown TF is a radio volume traffic hit.

Because of the intensly interesting nature of the situation, I had to peek at the other AAR and must remain silent until after the Op. Good attention to detail.

What do I have to do to keep you guys watching me and not the other fellow. Maybe this will help. Also I hear Koniu is planning on posting pics of him self in a string bikini[:D]. Better watchout for that guys. (just kidding on that remark)

Watch out for the Yokusuka airgroups. If he's not taken out the pilots this is a strong anti-naval force that could definitely take out a CV or two.

Captain Cruft, I'm hoping that he has them on training.  Once he finds out that I am there, I want to be heading out into the ocean as fast as I can.

Thanks for posting Crackaces and Captain Cruft

I await the update to see how things turned out ..[;)]

Koniu just emailed me. The message said told me what I needed to know. "you just Doolittled me. I will get revenge.". I will have to wait for the turn. Getting ready to eat now. More later

This game is at a very very intresting stage. Japan is losing the offensive inititive whether they sanely arrange a defense that takes some time to do ...or are forced to by some disaster ... will determine the outcome. Your raid I suspect will have the same affect is RL ...impetuousness. ..

No turn, but he did send the combat replay.  Interesting replay.  For one i didnt get any combat text at the end of any of the combat scenes.  Our raid only went after AKs.  Formidable got hit by some kates from MKB.  several 250kg bombs hit her.  Don't know the damage.

13th May
 
KB Banda Sea?
MKB Banda Sea?
 
Raid on Japan 
We hit 7 xAKs, 2 SCs and 1 PB.  Disappointing.
 
Timor region
Formidable is hit by 9 250kg bombs.  Not much damage, making full speed to Darwin and hoping for air cover along the way.
 
Prome
Captured by Japs they attack the retreating Burmese Div and other assorted units.
 
Not much more on that.  Next turn combat replay shows a Bloody day. more later

I cant have Koniu's thread ontop of mine so   BUMP..,...

So the 14th.  From what I saw and this is again without combat summaries off.  I think I lost the Formidable.  She put up a fight.  I also think that I gutted the KBs air arm.  Off hand guesstimates 30 to 40 zeros shot down 20-30 of each kates and vals shot down.  Koniu has landed on Koepang and 2 other islands in the Banda Sea.  BB Mutuso (sp) takes a fish near Marcus island.
 
I am hoping that I did tear the KB a new Arsehole.  That will open up a chance for me to start bombing his ships at Koepang and the other Islands.  I bet Koniu is taking the KB and other ships out of the area.  Koniu will take Koepang next turn if he wants,  But I will be able to take it back when I want.  I have almost 3 Divs moving into or in the area now.  More when I get the turn.

updating the 14th
 
Battle of Northern Oz
 
My count by rewatching the replay.
Zeros shot down 20 with 20 damaged
Kates shot down 34
Vals shot down 19
 
Computer says
Zeros lost 25
Kates lost 50
Vals lost 27
 
total air loses
Allies 36  Japs 87 by computer
This counts for other air missions.  We did extremely well.  Almost half of the loses were in Burma.
 
Formidable is still floating barely  57/95/22/9
 
Its time to go on the air offensive in Timor AO.  I will sweep Koepang and nav and ground bomb.

Combat replay for 15th May  (no turn today).
 
KB Banda Sea
MKB unknown
 
Northern Oz
Night surface engagment sinks Formidable, CL, and 4 DDs. Forgot to mention the Japs sunk an AKE, and AK also.  Only one bomber group flew againist the Jap navy.  Hudson LRs they didnt hit anything.
 
Koepang
148th IR has fully landed.  It must be really disrupted.  Its AV is about 50.
 
 

Question.  Trying to do an air assualt.  When I task my planes to carry an Oz Coy unit i get a message saying no friendly air field?  Any thoughts.

Im pretty sure those company sized Ausiee units are not para capable even tho they are listed as a para-commando unit type. Only actual para capable units can be airdropped You're getting the message because the game engine is converting your air drop to an air transport because the units are not air droppable.

Hansbolter, Thanks for your answer and for stopping by.  That sucks but oh well.  The game must go on.
