No...no Seppuku...yet.
Thank you all for your efforts in Frame 3. With hefty salutes to the RCAF for the immolation over our ships.
After some days of reflection, I know where mistakes were made. Foremost was my tardiness, but that was unavoidable. I should have assigned the RCAF a coordinated arrival time over the ships with Luftflotte 6 while the 352nd sat on Milne Bay. Later in the frame and after the CAP was destroyed, I moved the sgn plintered Lf6 towards Moresby, which allowed the Allies free reign at our fleet.
Added to that, I should have insisted that we attack Goodenough and send a few fighters to finish off 91 at Moresby.
That said, I thank you all for the honor of planning our evening and I look forward to making amends with my fighters in Frame 4 and 5.
Banzai!
