ADM Halsey · Post by **ADM Halsey** » Mon Feb 20, 2006 1:23 am

**** We interupt your normal programing for this special announcement! ****

The Japanes Navy has today launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. Detals are still coming in, but initial reports are that many ships of the Pacific Fleet are either sinking or heavily damaged. As more information comes in we will update you on the situation.

We now return you to your normally scheduled programing.

This is a game based on CHS with 2 day turns

These next turns were fun. Stateless was expanding to take Palmyra and Christmas Island. There was a carriers taskforce to the northeast of Pearl attacking transport convoys. I thought it was all six carriers so I sent the Lexington and Enterprise down to Palmyra and Christams Island. I had the Saratoga following but split her off to chase a TF with a Japanese AV in it near Midaway.

When the carriers came within range a Japanese carrier task force with the Kaga and Akagi reacted to intercept my carriers. The dive bombers with some escorts landed the first blows of the battle scoring several hits on the Kaga and a few on the Akagi and Kirishima. Several wave were launched from bothe sides. The Lexington and Enterprise are also damaged and limping back to Pearl.

The escorts were sent to Palmyra to bombard and ran into the Japanese carriers being escorted by one DD each. The Saratoga was turned around and ordered to find the retiring Japanese taskforce and finish them off if found. They managed to find the Kirishima and sent her to the bottom.

My goodness![:D] I have my hands full remembering what is going on in my one PBEM. You must have 3 or 4 going. If sync issues are caused by different settings between various games I think maybe your multiple games with different settings may be the reason I'm getting near useless replays. But who knows , if settings are the problem, why can't the program automatically set the settings when the turn is loaded? They would have if the problem was nailed down.

ADM Halsey · Post by **ADM Halsey** » Tue Feb 21, 2006 4:29 am

Hmm, let me see how many games I have going....... 1, 2, 5, no 3 sir! Oh sorry! I have 9 games going at the moment. 6 as Japan and 3 as allies. [:D]

ADM Halsey · Post by **ADM Halsey** » Tue Feb 21, 2006 6:52 pm

It is a sad day for the American Navy. After the carrier battle off Palmyra the carriers Lexington and Enterprise will not make it back for repair. The Enterprise was the first to go down and the Lexington is dead in the water speed 0.

There is a game sync problem I think since the reply showed both going down. Then when I loaded the game file only the Enterprise was gone and the Lexington was still hanging on. This now leaves Saratoga and Yorktown to hold the line in the Pacific.

There are 2 operations underway that if successful will have made the loss worth it in the long run.

I blame this forum for my poor start! All the talk of the zero bonus, coordination rules, uber cap, only allied strategy is to hide till '43... etc led me to believe in Japanese invincibility under the rules. While the Zero's tangled with his escorts, the SBD's went through untouched and sent my fragile carriers to a watery grave.

I'm very much enjoying the game despite the losses as the allies aren't hiding and doing darn good for themselves. It might say more about my abilities, but I prefer to give credit to good Allied play.

To tell the truth I was not expecting to find Japanese carriers. Then to see a TF react to my carrier TF kind of made me wonder if I was heading for disaster. So it was not the Battle of Coral Sea, with the same outcome as the Historic battle. It makes the game more interesting. Tom has done some things with the Japanese that I have not seen my other Japanese opponets do so we are both learning from this game. [:D]

I wish we could get more turns in but I am happy with the speed at which we are moving. Remember it is all in fun. Right?[&:]

The carriers Lexington and Enterprise have been steaming back to Pearl. My fear was they would not make it due to the damage that they had sustained in the engaement with Kaga and Akagi. The Enterprise was the first to go down and I am 100% sure the Lexington will not make it either.

I am not sure if she could be towed back to port but it would be nice if there was such an option. [:D]

ADM Halsey · Post by **ADM Halsey** » Fri Feb 24, 2006 3:03 pm

The Lady Lex has gone down, but her loss was not in vain. They covered the invasion forces that were steaming toward Palmyra and Christmas Islands. Both islands have been retaken and operations to mop up pockets of Japanese troops are under way.

The other Japanese carriers that were raiding merchant taskforceses northeast of Pearl are about a day out from the retaken islands. I am not sure if my taskforces will have departed by then but will keep figures crossed.

In the DEI air units are damaging Japanese shipping but not enough to slow down there advance. Most of Borneo is under Japanese control. In PI on the main land Manila and Bataan are under attack and 2 units are still fighting in northern Luzon.

In Malaya the Brits are giving it a good fight and are in better shap than PI.

I will post current ship losses and a strategic map view of the current situation.

Here is the overall strategic map. I will post ship losses next.

ADM Halsey · Post by **ADM Halsey** » Fri Mar 03, 2006 2:18 pm

So far so good with Palmyra and Christmas Island. The Japanese resistance on Christmas is over and one pocket of troops remain on Palmyra. Now comes the task of holding on to these islands.

Fighting continues in Malaya and the Phillipines. My air units have been harassing his shipping with some success.

Borneo is being overwhelmed for the most part. Evacuations of troops have been attempted but most have been left to fend for themselves.
