RE: Too much Iron in my Diet - Mundy vs Cannonfodder
Much better at Cochin. Pulling your aircraft out and giving yourself a chance to recoup is paying off. CF is now whiffing against the base, but sustaining light to moderate damage on his naval assets with nothing to show for it. This is sort of what I was alluding to earlier. Look at areas where you can apply some pressure, but force CF to counter at a disadvantage. I doubt he will continue to use naval bombardment against Cochin in the short term, so that should allow you to increase your defences here. If you do decide to eventually rebase aircraft here, he'll run into a gauntlet of CD fire, PT's and perhaps mines if he chooses to try more naval bombardments.
It's ok to pull back and reassess. What was working for CF before at Cochin may not moving forward, you've changed the rules so to speak and provided him nothing to hit while making it costly for him at no loss to yourself. These little battles are the momentum builders. Look for other areas on the map that you can apply pressure, but have a counter in place to punish CF when he tries to interfere. Force him to fight you on your terms, not his.
Another nice raid at Rabaul. These are the kind of low risk high reward operations you need right now. I bet he'll stop deploying ships in port within range of your heavies, or have to divert fighters to CAP to protect them which may weaken his defence elsewhere so you can make a move.

Thanks.
I'm doing an exploratory raid at Lae next turn. I don't know if he's making much use of this base, so I'll check it out. If I go to Rabaul too much, the losses will add up.
If he had kept only Oscars there, I would have kept it up.
I can't wait for the Jugs at Ta'u to get up and running.

RE: Too much Iron in my Diet - Mundy vs Cannonfodder
I think with port strikes anywhere that you have coastwatchers you should probably use that intel to determine if the base has enough ships in port. If there are a bunch of ships in a base I believe coastwatchers will always give you a pretty good estimate. What did it say about Rabaul right before you raided the base? Did coastwatchers report 20+ ships?ORIGINAL: Mundy

RE: Too much Iron in my Diet - Mundy vs Cannonfodder
I don't know...
Unless it's something obvious with tons of shipping, I've gotten skeptical of coastwatcher sightings. Earlier in the game, I was chasing after all sorts of ship sightings in some of the smaller bases, all of which came to naught. I'm more curious as to whether he has any air stationed at Lae. If not, it could prove an opening to a move on Port Moresby. An invasion there is still a big pill to swallow, as it would require several divisions. I think the last recon indicated at least 25,000 troops there.
Someplace like Rabaul, packed ear to ear with ships, makes basic intel fairly easy, though narrowing down the types there is still iffy.
Here's the Chikuma I'm working on. With it is my USN YMS. Yes, they are the same scale. Think of that when you hurl all your yard craft at that incoming bombardment mission. (MLs at Cochin...)

Beautiful detail on those models! Back in the day when that scale did not exist, I didn't have the money or the space to get it anyway. Now I have the money but space is still tight, and the eyes and hands are not up to doing the build justice. I appreciate your sharing your work with us!

Thanks,
I wanted a more encompassing pic, but being over 21 inches long, it tough while getting close enough.
I was brush painting the color on the minesweeper. It's not too bad, but the paint looks a bit "heavy" to me. Being a little model, I felt I could be a bit more freewheeling with it. I'm giving her a simple Measure 14 Ocean Gray scheme. I like the "wood" deck, though it really just cardboard. I don't plan on staining it with deck blue. Being a resin kit, I'm not used to the heavy use of super glue for everything.
On Chikuma, I'm going to lightly drybrush a lighter brown over all those raised cross line things to pop them out. Now that I have my bottled linoleum, I'm not afraid of that.

I no longer have the manual dexterity of my youth either and my builds are no where near the quality level of Mundy's but I don't build to impress I build because I enjoy the activity.
Even if I sometimes get frustrated with my inability to do better work, the satisfaction of simply immersing myself in the subject matter is rewarding and worthwhile.

RE: Too much Iron in my Diet - Mundy vs Cannonfodder
I don't consider myself all that talented. Most of my models have some goof in them somewhere. With my CVL, it's the deck markings. I'm not real good at dealing with seams, either.

It's been very quiet as of late, most encounters being on the submarine end. I think I should hang every sub captain that insists on attacking escorts.
Hornet's been healing up her flooding. Now at 36 from the original 50. I'd say I could probably move her in about 10 days.
CVE Anzio has showed up in Portland, despite her namesake battle still being 8 months in the future yet.

USS ANZIO before the battle.
I looked it up. USS ANZIO was originally commissioned USS CORAL SEA (which HAD happened). Then they decided to give Coral Sea a better ship (one of the Midways), and the CVE Coral Sea became USS ANZIO.
I imagine the game would have major indigestion with this so we get the name USS ANZIO ended her career with.

Back on track. CF was on another work trip this week, hence the delay. I'm glad I don't have to travel.
I was reviewing a VMF in Sydney and check what to upgrade to. I noticed I had over 130 Hellcats in the pool already. That took me by surprise, as when I last looked, I had about a dozen there. It looks like Wildcats will soon be getting regulated to training squadrons at this rate. The F6F production rate is pretty high.
I have a couple transport groups, one from Pearl and one from San Francisco destined to Vava'u with lots of engineers and base forces. It's "normal" air capacity is buildable to 4, meaning I can probably get it to at least 6. It's about half way between Suva and Pago Pago, being about 5 hexes south of them. I'm hoping I'm not pushing my luck expanding my network that far. The nice part is that my Avenger squadron in New Zealand can make the flight there. Maybe I can flip an SBD squadron to SB2Us as they'd probably be able to make it too. It's too far for SBDs. (34 hexes to Auckland). Speaking of, Hornet's flood damage is at 20. Not a lot of movement on sys and eng yet. I'd like sys down from 70 before I move her.
I evacuated the air from Madras, as another bombardment group hit it. Not much destroyed, but it's keeping my squadrons in a sort of half-life status, so I'm giving them a break. I'm trying to get more air support to India, as capacity is tight and supply tight in other bases. Two big groups of xAKs are headed to Cape Town from Abadan and Panama, to help with that. I'm short of xAPs at San Francisco right now with lots in transit. I have about a dozen in mid conversion there.
Two more subs heading to India via Cape Town from the US. I currently have about a dozen active there swarming Ceylon. I forgot to look but I may have another two covering Calcutta. I smacked two transports this turn. I'd really like to nail one carrying troops. No activity at Truk yet, with the bunch I have watching the southern approach. I was hoping KB would beeline there after our fight.

Don't forget to upgrade the squadrons on your replenishment carriers to the types needed by your fighting carriers as they upgrade.

Moving stuff around.
More base and construction troops have landed at Savaii. Building should happen fast here. Ta'u is unloading from a supply TF. One of the P-47 squadrons there is up and running. I should have a good interlocking network up before too long. Cannonfodder's still dealing with the stubborn Suva situation and isn't really focused on what's going on to his east. I'm eagerly awaiting getting Vava'u set up and running.
I've had an Australian P-43 recon squadron watching Port Moresby for awhile now. About 30,000 troops are there. It's also showing only about 30 auxiliary aircraft there, which seems surprising. I'm feeling this out next turn with a massive airfield raid there. B-24s, B-25s and B-26s are all involved with escort. Two squadrons will also try to sweep beforehand.
At Cape Town a big supply TF is loading up for Karachi as well as a big fuel TF for Cape Town.
I'm pulling Hornet into Readiness status along with the cruiser and destroyer with her at Gisborne. I want to move them to Wellington or Auckland where I'm hoping the better port status will help with the non-major repairs. Sys and Eng values are moving down at a glacial rate. When she's good enough to move to Sydney, I'll put her fully restored air group on board.
Los Angeles has quit cranking out Liberty ships and is now sending me the better C2 transports. I've had more DEs showing up lately in the San Francisco area. I can muster up a decent ASW escort with pretty much anything I send out now.
I'll think about Port Moresby for awhile. If he's slacked on air cover, I may round up the troops to do this. Keeping the airfield there in constant ruin will be a full time job until I finally land troops. I think he probably has an airfield running at Buna, but my feeling is that Lae isn't seeing much use. He may have banked everything on PM at this point.

RE: Too much Iron in my Diet - Mundy vs Cannonfodder
If you are not ready to land at PM leave it be. You will just be giving CF an opportunity to attrit your bomber pools with LRACP and AA.

The raid went in... unopposed. Not all my planes flew, but enough. Damage at his end is only 29.
I'll give it another day to see if he contests it. If I pound it good to an inoperable status and he doesn't resist, I'll rotate about two squadrons a day to keep the pressure on.
Suva finally falls today. I was hoping I could squeeze another couple weeks. We'll see if CF is content with this or wants to move on.

I've had two CVEs show up in the last two days: Corregidor and Breton. The first is a fighting CVE and the latter a replenishment ship.
I forgot to mention my sub incident yesterday.
One less weakling CVL for awhile. I think she'll probably get away, as it was fairly close to the home islands.
Airfield damage on Port Moresby is up to 58. None of the medium bombers have flown. I've stood down everyone except for two squadrons of Liberators and one escort of Hellcats.
[EDIT] Forgot to mention I got a confirmation of Yamashiro's sinking at Colombo. Now her sister...
