[Ron Saueracker]

The Japanese strike is perfectly coordonated as always in 1942

This is why the Allied player can't and never should put more than one CV in each CV TF in 1942. The unwarranted (bullpoop) strike bonus for Japan and Uber CAP forces the Allied player to make the bad mechanics work in lieu of Japanese weaknesses not being modelled. Seperate TFs make the IJN strikes spread out and target each TF, thereby allowing the Allied uber CAP a crack at mechanic induced strike uncoordination.

[:D][:D][:D]
You would think that ALL Allied players would know this by now.
"ONE" US CV per TF in '42'![;)]
This breaks up the Japanese coordinated airstrike and forces them to fly through the combined US CAP.

[skrewball]

Well I was in the middle of sending them all to Noumeau until he invaded it. So I sent all those carriers back and they were low on fuel. This is my first game as the Allies and its safe to say I never paid much attention to the AARs. I've always been a Japanese Fanboy.
