also for those invasion i will invade with a minimum of at least 2 divs each plus combat engineers and possible a regiment as well

another question for you guys how does pt boat creation work for the allies like where do I look to see where I get reinforcements or do i create a certain amount per month?

I also forgot to mention that my main carrier fleet is heading over to the pacific ocean as well Yorktown, Wasp, and Charlottesville just got to balboa and are about to head to cape town I estimate around 20 days for them to get there then Enterprise was in Sydney repairing and is heading off to Perth then Cape town this should take here 4 to 5 days to Perth then at least another 20 to 25 days to head to Cape town.

nothing much happened over the last couple days still have stuff moving into position for the reconquest of the islands off of Karachi this operation I hope launch by the middle to end of November we will see what happens depends on how long it will take for me to refit and repair ships at cape town while planes and ships gather there for offensive operations

I had a great start to today some of my dd's probing his naval search lines found some ships and sank them all

since there so far in enemy lines and are still not found by naval search I think i'll head home before he sends some carriers or something to exact revenge on them

just had a convoy reach Perth with lots of planes for aussie out of those 9 groups of them are heavy bombers once there filled i can then use them to bomb him relentlessly at bases here and make him divert more fighters from other areaa to stop my bombing and some of these airgroups will now divert back to capetown as well since I now plan for opening Karachi back up and will need airgroups back up in there for when I liberate the siege

had a great day today found two japanese amc a couple tiles north of pearl and my pby's came in and sank both of them

Aww my AMC heart has been crushed.

But Japan has no business parking those ships out of Perl Harbor and expecting to not get caught when the weather turns clear.

I could complain that killing them with a Catlina is inhumane since since the normal TB and DB planes need the experience for attacking targets when their moved into hot war zones but why would I do that.

But then again the Catlina was the only US plane to successfully torpedo a Japanese ship during the battle of Midway so I give it that credit.

Good job with the kills.

2 out of 13 Japanese AMC's have been lost now, unless the RA mod provides more AMC's to Japan.

actually a lot more I think I've killed 5 Japanese amc's now.

really nice day for the allies found a troop transport heading to Adak I saw something in intel about this a while ago thought they would have bin in Adak by now guess not all of them sank or at least I think they did

A decent amount of his escort will go away scot free since now I will be running back to Mombasa to hide and send my carrier's back west for operations over there.

I guess you can call this Dante's inferno [:@]

the date is December, 7th 1942 and this day the Japanese got what was coming for them. Because today was a real carrier battle with the Enterprise and 8 cve's for the allied side and then the Japanese bolstered Zuikaku, Shokaku, and the Zuiho aircraft number would be around 170 for the Japanese and 300 for the allied side.
It was a massacre for the Japanese I bolstered around 180 fighters with 100 dive/torpedo bombers versus Souls 60 to 70 fighters and around 100 strike craft.

So now here's the argument me and Soul have right now. He wants to reroll the turn since he feels that when he gave me one before he should have one to. But at the time I already told him gg and was ready to move on to our next game he was the one that insisted on us continuing this game and we rolled back. so what do you guys think we should do go for a reroll or not?
I want to see your opinions then me and Soul will decide whether or not to go back to the original save or continue on.
P.S(we did continue on personally just wanted to see what other people thought I should do whether I give Soul the reroll or we continue on with this save)

If he gave you you earlier than I can understand him feeling he need a gimmie, even though you offered the end it instead of reroll earlier. It is always best to compromise on issues like this and take it as a learning experience. Glad you were able to come to an agreement and move on.

Great success today 2 dead Japanese carriers for two dead American bb's

Is this a trend with people wanting to quit the game if their plans fail to come to fruition?

well when I originally succeeded from the game. I would have had 1 carrier left and a few cve's. by the time I could come back it might have bin sometime in the middle of 44.
Soul just felt that since he gave me one he deserved one well I gave it to him and but in the end he still lost two carrier's not as bad as 2 and a cvl just still two carriers
