War in the Pacific - Admiral's Edition

Just had what I would consider my first successful go of it. It's the 8th in the BotCS and I have devastated the invasion fleet without out any damage to my CVs. I'm going to loiter around MO and look for the CVs but stricly defensively.

Man I can taste blood in the water. I might try full GC after this.

The secret to winning the Coral Sea scenario is to cripple the Japanese invasion fleet so they won't have enough troops to take Port Moresby. However, once that is done your best option is to duck the Japanese carrier fleet. Any even contest between US and Japanese carriers in 1942 in this game invariably tends to go poorly for the USN. They sometimes still go poorly even when the US has more.

Yea I just leaned that the hard way. Didn't help they outnumbered me like 5:1 in carriers.

They corned me (my fault) near MO and just rattled me. Yorktown is practically dead in the water and the Lex is banged up and needs to head back to port. Going to give it another turn or two just to see what happens then I'm going for broke in the GC, I can pull myself away from it.

Any way to actually attack the bombers incoming? I've been outnumbered 32:7 in fighters but still managed to get into attack range. I must not understand something because I thought those Devs and Dau were going to get picked off.

Oddly enough it looks like the IJN is pulling back! I only scored a few hits on one of their CVs maybe I got lucky and broke contact. If so man did fate smile down on me lol.

Well it appears the Yorktown is cursed I know she went down at Miday but thought she just might make it till then, apparently shallower to much water.

Oh well that was fun now I'm going to try my hand as the Japs in a GC.
