S3 Series

The 23rd is leaning towards flying all fighters frame 5, with the possible exception of the first sortie.

It would appear the allies have no chance of catching us with points after their major airframe loses of frame 4, regardless of the points they scored.

First off close 48. Gets rid of an airfield in our backyard and also they lose radar coverage of the area.
Maybe a good job for DRs right away with a fighter CAP over 48.

After closing 48 let the DRs look for their two carriers and sink them. They will probably be steaming towards New Britain/Rabaul, who knows though as there is no intel on their cvs yet.

Fighters, go kill everything they can find.

I'm not sure the allies will attack Rabaul being so far from their heavy bomber bases...and we don't know what airframes are available from their carriers. IF they do hit Rabaul we may be out of place in the West which would give them lots of time to attack there.

There are many 5 point coastal locations they could hit for points up North as well.

Just throwing some thoughts out there.

Would tend to agree with conclusions.

For some reason I think they will go for our carriers and be nearer to Rabaul, but that is such a long shot.
If we held back a bit time wise it might prove fruitful, such as, waiting until enemy is spotted in force will allow us to "move" or base best.
Unknown here, was thinking of 352nd or other or both wait and see then react to the position.

Open for anything. Would certainly NOT want to wait longer than say 10 mins or so, but probably not enough.....
