We started with an historical first turn. Pearl got off lightly and then KB withdrew to the SW. Unfortuantely for Steve that's where he'd sent his carriers...

Ah don't sweat it... I'd lost both my CVs by 11th December 41 in my game vs jagdfluger and I amn't doing too badly against even an amped up Japan. Overall I'm down 4:1 in CVs but 1/3rd of the prewar IJN is sitting at the bottom of the ocean due to my DD TFs and land-based torpedo and level bomber squadrons.
If you can link the UK and US CVs up and provide a really strong escort in terms of BBs then you can face him on an even footing by June 1942... That or lure him up north into the Aleutians... I lured an opponent's KB ( 6 CVs) up there in early January 1942 vs 2 US CVs and at the cost of one of mine put 4 of his 6 CVs in the dockyards for the next 6 months. End result, Japan's expansion stopped dead in the middle of January 1942 and the war ended pretty damned quickly afterward.
Keep up the fight!!!

[:D] If I shoot myself , it's out of embarresment rather than desperation. I can actually say that I did WORSE than Husband Kimmel! [:D]
I guess that means that I've no where to go but up! And Sprior did pull a brilliant manever!His carriers had to be low on planes and fuel, but rather than run back to his tankers , he dashes where he assumes that I'll seek sanctuary. [&o][&o][&o]
