After some rest, our airforce was ordered to attack again. The enemy CVs took position 60 miles west of Guam so the air corridor over the transport fleet was hopefully either undefended or much weaker defended.
Unfortunately, the airstrikes fail to coordinate. While one made it trhough, no hits were achieved. The airforce was ordered back to Palau.

any special plans?

i played the scenario once, but i didn't really see a chance to get any good hits

so far your sub warfare has been most impressive  [8D]

Of course, I haven't given up, yet.
There is no hope for a "victory". We'll play it with opposite sides after this game is finished to my main goal is to have the best possible point ratio.

But as bigbaba is in this thread, too, I can't tell my plans. But of course, I have some... [;)]

Not too much action. The subs did their job, I forgot to give a Betty unit the right oders, but that's it:
