Big showdown comming.

Post by wild_Willie2 »

Hi there.

In Przemco and mine PBEM game, a big battle is about to happen. Przemco is going for the Marshalls armed for bear (11 CV's), and I will try to stop him.....

I have three (yet unsupressed) bases within 5 hex range... and possibly the KB lurking arround..

this will be interesting

Enemy sighted, prepping forces....

Subs are all over the place, fighters and bombers are massing on both sides....

Remember, this is NIKmod, carrier battles are BLOODY....

Sighted Pzremco's main fleet, next turn (6 hexes away) I will be sending in 150 betty's (80 EXP) escorted by 100 jacks (80 EXP) from Kwajalein.......

I hope the strike goes in coordinated....

Minor disaster, although I am certain that I pushed the button set al betty's in this hex when I set their max range at 6. Some didn't get that order and 50 betty's attacked at 7 range (escort set to 6) and 42 got slaughterd by the 300 fighters on CAP...

They will be sadly missed....

As przemco will bomb kawajein next turn (certain about that), I set al fighters there to CAP and am waiting to see when or IF the KB should intervene....

Lets play the waiting game for a turn...

Ok not much action this turn.


For next turn:

Set a trap for przemco.. I send out a suicide TF of 1 AP from kawa to trigger a MASSIVE strike from his carriers.
I have flown in 120 Valls and 60 betty's escorted by 200 fighters....

1) przemco's CV's are in a land hex--> reduced carrier OPS.
2) His naval strike will be escorted by fighters, these are then UNAVAILABLE to defend his ships.

I hope both factors (reduced CAP and fighters escorting his strike) will give my bombers a chance to break through....

will see....

Does anyone have an idea why these AAR's have nothing common with RL events? I mean it is fun and stuff, I am curious too, but hell 11 allied CVs in mid 43? 200+ land based IJN attack planes?
