S3 Series

As Beaver said, having a group of Zekes SW to S of 51 may be just the ticket to drawing at least one of their fighter groups away from 51. We could do that and just tie them up to the south of you. We would need to time this so that we have drawn them south before the Knights committed. I'll run this by Doc, Looboy and Sakai and get back with you on basing and tactical recommendations.

Sounds like a plan to me. I'll do a map of a possible route and maybe a time hack.

If I put the 100th and 127 together. Do you think you can close another base?

How's this? We can base at 37 and 38 and grab some altitude within our DAR space. We can then dispatch one element of advance scouts and have the main body follow between 5 and 10 miles behind. We could avoid the DAR coverage around 44 and 49 then take a turn east at a point south of the 3 line then enter their DAR SW of 51 and make it appear as if we are heading for the shipping on the NW side of Guadalcanal. We can drop south and pull out of their DAR coverage just east of where it converges with the DAR at 57 and reverse out of their coverage and take up position just SW of 51 and remain in that area until the Knights hit 51. If we time our exit from the DAR south of 51 with the Knights' arrival at 51 and they have tracked us SW it may give you time to hit and get out. Once we know you are about to strike we can engage and tie some of them up for a bit. Sound good to you?

Sounds like you guys at 37 and 38 and the Knights at 40. This sounds good thus far. Looking at the map, it looks like the are at 8.4.3 and 9.3.8. This will be what I want the Knights to hit.

Sqtc, are you ok with where you guys are? I really want a strong front stopping their bombers from getting in.

Now I have to decide about the other 2 squad and what they think they want to do. I'll start a prelim thread today.

Cog Yeah were are good! Lets kick some butts this frame.
