Scenario 4

Guadalcanal 4 Aug 42 to 7 Feb 43.

Speedy is Japan. DadMan Allied.

What will he do to me THIS time?

I plan to take Lunga/Tulagi, and as bonus to the northwest occupy Russel Island too with the idea of building a fighter base there.

SitRep:

3 Carrier TF 200 miles east of Lunga acting as forward cover.

1 Amphib TF headed for Lunga Point with 1 BB and 4 CA as cover
1 Amphip Tf headed for Tulagi with 2 CA 1 CL as cover.

Let the fun begin...

What?

No outrigger canoe crew?

They'd mess with the Japs more than any uber-PT Task Force!

Speedy has already attacked the Lunga Covering TF and the Carrier TF's, so he knows that I have redistrubuted my forces.

What he does not yet know and may not suspect is how deeply I have stripped my carriers' screen of cruisers to do it.

I have also split off 1st USMC Parachute 3rd Batt to land at Tassafaronga to hold enemy reinforcements in place.

Becuase of the fact that I have to pay points to re-HQ addtional ground forces in Noumea to the active SoPac command, taking Russell Islands will have to wait.

I have about 8 days to get set before his carriers and heavies come calling.

Speedy is not your mamma's AI...
