Unlucky turn, very unlucky turn Summary: His surface TFs passed through 1 battleship and 2 cruiser TFs and went directly to the carriers, then invasion fleets Only afterwards, those imbeciles of the battleship division managed to find the Japanese then at the air phase, no CAP support therefore the LBAs had a field day end result: - CV Wasp, 1 DD, 2 APs, 1 xAP, 1 DMS sunk - several others damaged, I just don't feel like counting Next turn decision: CHAARGEE Battleships will bombard Makassar, and stay on target; to act as torpedo magnets Invasion fleets will proceed to their target British CVs to cover Lexington and Copahee will withdraw heavies rebased to risky Manado; they will crater Makassar
