My 2nd PBEM isnt going so well. It is August 1942, and I have now lost all 6 of the USN fleet carriers. My last USN CV - Wasp - suffered sub attacks two turns in a row. The first attack left her with 87 flotation damage and a speed of 3. She took 3 more torpedoes during my current turn from a different sub, and promptly sank. I wont have a USN fleet carrier until Essex arrives in about 9 months... [8|]
My opponent appears to thrive on the naval war, and has expressed a strong distaste for the land war. Unfortunately, the land war is now all I have left, so I am seeking guidance.
My opponent has not launched any sort of major offensive in China. He appears content to stand pat in his present locations. He has expressed the belief that China is a "waste of time" for the Japanese. So my question for JFB's is this - do you agree with that approach / assessment?
My question of the Forum in general is - what would you do as the Allies ?
