A while ago CCIP sent me his password to our game. I sent him mine as well but I don't know whether he has looked. I hadn't got around to it until this morning but I'm glad I did. It's most educational...most educational.

Firstly, I am slightly surprised by his capital ship losses. not one of the three battleship I hit during the great Coral Sea Massacre seem to have gone under. They are, however, all at Sydney with huge amounts of damage and were out of the game by the end. As for carriers, well, I don't think he needed have worried so much after he lost those three flat tops. at the end he had six escort carriers and the Enterprise, all fully functional. In terms of air frames carried, they aren't far off what I had towards the end.

The other main point is Moresby is no where near as well protected as I thought. About 2500 infantry and a lot of secondary units. The battle wouldn't have been easy but I would have taken it with the mass of troops I had prepared.

More later if I remember.
