Geez, plus OR minus 2? CR's code is solving quadratics now. Lawyer math is very strange stuff.

Well you do have a slight advantage in the John may have to decide between your carriers and your landing force. Advantages/disadvantages with both. On the other hand I don't know if you will be able to provide enough air cover for the landing force if his LBA is particularly strong. I suppose it's timeBut I must admit that I would not be above trying to bait John into a big carrier battle just off the coast of Oz, where I have the benefit of both massed LRCAP and nearby ports to handle damaged ships, while he would have no friendly ports closer than Rabaul to handle his cripplies (as I have lots of 4EB in Oz).
If he is, kudos to him.

My real main concern is that John knows where you are and you don't fully know where he is.
Gentlemen,
A reminder about OPSEC please. CR doesn't know what he doesn't know. What he doesn't 'fully' know should not be reiterated. As far as he's concerned, he fully knows what he fully knows.
God, I sound like Rumsfeld.
On another note, was there ever a more impactful post on the boards than GJ's famous reveal? I can't think of one.

But I really feel a pressing need to open a second air front, and I feel pretty darn confident that John, in his aggressiveness, will make some mistakes in opening the battle that will create opportunities to punish the enemy.

After all what does it matter if those bases get invaded in 3 days or 10 days if KB's pilots are wiped out and you have gained a strategic respite for the next 2 to 3 months?
