Fgorginator - It would have been far worse if the second American Carrier fleet had still been alive. I would probably of failed to land on Hawaii if it had been there too.
_heikkinen - The situation is somewhat controlled for sure. I dislike ooperating outside my air cover though.
HannibalBarca - No doubt the massed Carrier production of the U.S. will allow some revenge eventually. That is if the IJN doesn't just hide in Pearl Harbour.
safferli - Naval battles are fun but I do prefer dictating exactly when they happen and who is involved.
stnylan - The Imperial Japanese Airforce are the unsung heroes of the Pacific with their excellent spotting.
OneArmed - Your welcome. I think she has escaped for the time being. My NAV's couldn't find Stark.
Nathan Madien He wouldn't be too happy I would think
Juan_de_Marco - Don't expect too many operations as dangerous as this one has been but one every now and again is always a little fun.
Middelkirke - I enjoy blowing Carrier fleets apart with BB's
Current builds are 2 x CVL and 3 x DD.
robou - In hindsight I should probably have moved both BB fleets there but I chose to keep one with the Carriers as a soak off target. Had both been there half of Stark's fleet would have been sunk, as long as they didn't try and shoot eachother of course.
alan_le_cowboy - Some misinformation on my part. I couldn't say 7 or you would have known I lost one. Very well spotted though
Maj. von Mauser - Ancient? I will have you know that she almost modern for the IJN. Only two Carriers are more modern.
Edzako - BB's are excellent at sinking Carriers in bad weather. I destroyed the entire USN and their modern Carriers in my other AAR using SHBB's with minimal losses. I think I have to do the gamey move off the coast and unload technique to directly invade the US from Pearl. I don;t mind using this tactic but only if I could use Amphibious Assault as well. This being the case I think I have to invade some of the Alaskan islands first for a closer port.
rampagingmouse - IJN Unryo was never one of the two first named Carriers in a fleet so her sinkings were minimal. She sank one Destroyer and one Transport Division by May 1st 1946.
genbrad, rampagingmouse - Operation Mystery is behind the updates for the rest of the War right now. I have played up until June 30th for Asia so that particular War will start seeing more updates after the July monthly meeting.
Sokraates - I was tempted to do that but decided to just go with postponing the meeting.
Juan_de_Marco - Once it is over the aircraft will head for China. How many divisions I will remove from the Pacific remains to be seen as I need to confirm the Americans are concentrating on Hawaii first. It would not be prudent to remove island defences too early and then have to take them back again.
AgamemnonNL - Thank you and welcome to the boards
You are fortunate to have begun to read near the beginning of the AAR
Update to follow ... not a large one but the screenshots came out a little odd in numbers ...
