Was machten seine Träger bei Lunga ? Im Anbetracht der langen Einsatzdauer und das sie im Kampf gegen die Nachschubwege alle ihre Torpedos verbraucht hatten , sollten sie Lunga hunderte Meile weiter Östlich passieren und dem Kampf aus dem Wege gehen.

CV Shokaku sinks....
CVL Ryujo sinks....

Der Rest der Flotte war schwer getroffen und ohne Treibstoff, CV Zuikaku versuchte alleine Shortlands zu erreichen. Der Rest der Flotte wollte den finalen Überwasserangriff in der Nacht versuchen oder aber am nächsten Morgen sich selbst versenken .

Von Norden kamen in 3 Flotillen 4 Zerstörer und 2 Tanker um sich als Ziel anzubieten und der Zuikaku die Flucht zu ermöglichen.

Und so wie sich sich seine Flotte opfern wollte , so musste auch er sich opfern.

Am Abend nach dem gemeinsamen Essen, zog er sich in seinen Bungalow zurück uns beging das Ritual des Seppuku.

[Roy1909]

da hat wohl jemand vergessen die reactrange auf 1 oder 0 zu setzen und keine waypoints benutzt ?

[hohe_Berge]

Sieht gut für Euch aus, oder?

Glück Auf

Uppps.

Glück Auf

[zottelhase]

Wir werden es wohl nie erfahren

Wie dem auch sei, nun wird es halt etwas schwieriger , da er mehr Druck aufbauen kann aber das kann er auch von PM aus und da hätten die Träger auch nicht viel genutzt.

Lunga ist außer Gefecht gesetzt, gegen PM komm ich eh nicht an und LAe, Buna und Shortlands sind bis auf Buna gut mit nachschub versorgt und Truppen sind dort überall genug .

[zottelhase]

Uppps.

Glück Auf

Da habt Ihr Euch die Frage ja selbst beantwortet

Im diesen Sinne : ATTACKE

tja erforderte bereits Reparationszahlungen in Form von Lesestoff

Dann muss ich ihm wohl doch Port Moresby nehmen

Nur gut das das Dormicum bei der Anschau des Combats noch wirkte , das machte es einfacher

Das Schiffe versenken geht weiter , welch Helden auf Amerikanischer Seite.
Brüsten sich mit der Versenkung von Schiffen , die Aufgrund von Spritmangel im Pazifik dümpeln.

Sobald der neue Oberbefehlshaber in Rabaul eingetroffen ist , werden wir die Wende im Südpazifik abwenden und eine Lagebeurteilung nach 4 Wochen Kampf abgegebn.

Jetzt weiß ich auch warum ich die japanische Seite haben, nach solch einer Schlacht wär der werte Francis Drake an die Heimatfront als Badewannen Admiral gewechselt

Für den nächsten Tag ist geplant das die Val Sturzbomber wieder über PM erscheinen , dieses mal unterstützt von 40 Betty´s aus Rabaul.

Danach müssen die Zero´s erst Jagdschutz über einen Großkonvoi fliegen der für Lae bestimmt ist.

Brüsten sich mit der Versenkung von Schiffen , die Aufgrund von Spritmangel im Pazifik dümpeln.

naja aber wer ist denn an dem Spritmangel Schuld ??????

[zottelhase]

Äh , der böse der Feind wer denn sonst

Es war ausreichend Sprit vorhanden um zumindest die Flottentanker zu erreichen , was allerdings nicht eingerechnet wurde, ist das anscheined wilde Ausweichen bei den Luftangriffen .

Im Zug vor den Angriffen war der geamte Sprit Status grün , im Zug nach den Angriffen war alles rot.

[Andhur]

Wie schätzt ihr die Lage ein, werter Zottelhase?
Besteht noch die Chance auf einen Sieg?

[zottelhase]

Nun , wie defeniert man Sieg in diesem Scenario ?

Nach Punkten kann ich nicht Gewinnen ,da Australien mehr Punkte bringt , als jeh erobern kann.

Ist es ein Sieg nur Guadalcanal zu verlieren ? Oder ist es ein Sieg Rabaul am Leben zu halten ?

Für mich geht es darum, möglichst Lange Parolie zu bieten und hier und da zu zu schlagen.

Die Lage Allgemein ist nicht so Schlecht wie sie sich liest , zwar sind die Träger gesunken aber einer kommt noch und hier und da kann ich immer mal wieder zuschlagen ,überraschend und in der Nacht , auch sind noch genügend schwere Überwassereinheiten da.

Solange wie Francis nicht die B-17 voll ausspielt bleibe ich im Rennen , beginnt er sie strategisch ein zu setzen , bin ich am Ende.

Mein Nachteil sind die leichten Betty´s und die wenigen Zero Staffeln, zwar tut es ihm auch weh wenn ich seine Aircrobra´s vom Himmel hole aber er blutet nicht aus , ich schon.

Der Spaß ist da und wie der letzte Combat zeigt geht immer was :
